Calvin went to F.I.T, but I belive a recent Biography Channel Porfile mentioned Donna Karan going to Parson's . She gave the school a million dollars in 2002!

Issey actually did study fashion. He studied under Givenchy via the La Chambre Syndicale. He later trained under Geoffery Beene before starting his own line.

i didnt know he was trained at Beene, excellent choice for intern from Miyake's side, Beene by himself was a real school in fashion design
