Mary Davis backed her defamation suit against the Fashion Institute of Technology over allegedly racist designs featured in a fashion show.
The Fashion Institute of Technology’s former graduate school dean is pressing on with her lawsuit against the school and its president in their ongoing dispute over allegedly racist accessory designs that had appeared at an FIT-sponsored show last year.
After reports that Amy Lefevre, a Black model in the show, declined to wear the accessories on the grounds that they evoked racist imagery, the school began to respond and ultimately pinned the blame on Davis, according to Davis’ filing this month. The show took place in February 2020, and the school posted the letter later that month after criticisms of the show went public.
“The letter only contains undisputed, accurate statements of non-defamatory facts and protected opinions,” Brown and FIT wrote in their May filing supporting their motion to dismiss Davis’ suit. But Davis argued that Brown had also seen the accessories on the day of the show and had at first lauded the event, changing her own response only after the apparent public backlash, according to Davis, who was terminated from the school in November.
