Exhibition

SVA presents its 2025 Graduate Exhibition, an exhibition of fashion photography by 11 MPS Fashion Photography students, curated by faculty member, curator Shonagh Marshall. The exhibition will be on view Friday, May 9th, through Wednesday, May 28, at the SVA Gramercy Gallery, 209 East 23rd Street, 1st floor, New York City. 

MPS Fashion Photography was founded in 2011 to give precedence to the concepts that underpin photographic practice within the space of fashion. As a one-year intensive graduate program, its faculty and guest speakers are some of the most innovative and influential figures in the industry. The approach aims to extend the visual language of the students it attracts, who hail from all over the world.

For this exhibition, each student from the graduating class of 2025 was invited to make a new body of work. Investigating fashion not just as style, but as a social system—a mirror, a mask, a language—the work on view reveals how each artist reclaims the medium as a site of personal and cultural inquiry. 

Artists featured in this exhibition are Alex Lv (Hàowēi Lü 吕皓巍), Benicia King, Husheng Zhou, Jia K. Min, Jingyi Yu, Jinyu Cao, Ke Huang, Lucie Su, Parys Wyatt, Saemi Park and Yingjia Liu.
