Arizona State University looking to purchase FIDM

A fashion school? What a weird move.

Why not? FIT is a SUNY school. I can't imagine how much FIT would cost as a private college. I doubt most people who have enrolled there would have ever been able to if it wasn't public. Fashion is a massive industry. Right on down to the shade of blue every shirt sold in the world is at any given moment. Know how the cut of tshirts changed a few years back? Why did it change? Fashion. Why are short shorts back in style? Fashion. Why are Joe Elliot of Def Leppard sliced jeans back in style? Fashion. There's quite a bit of harsh truth in the movie and book Devil Wears Prada. Fashion isn't just in clothing. It's in home decor, furniture, and paint. It's in other industries such as the automative and craft industries too. If you look at the name of the colors of paint for vehicles, even black rarely is called black. Why? Fashion. Fashion drives sooooo much of what consumers buy and live with. Most people aren't even aware of it. Look at the Pantone Color of the Year.....it's normally EVERYWHERE but especially in fashion. Fashion is a mega industry and worth over $340 BILLION in the US alone. So why not buy a fashion school?
