GLOBAL FASHION MANAGEMENT '18

Jeté was developed as a capstone project for the Global Fashion Management graduate program at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Kelsey and Ashley were two students who had become friends in class; the idea of innovation struck as ballet and fashion are often parallels of one another, yielding commonalities between the two arts. Ashley Cannon was a former ballerina who understood the mechanics of the shoe, while Kelsey Pushkarewicz was a designer who understood the development and execution of such a product. Together, they worked to prototype and market a healthier pointe shoe for dancers.
