As we get ready to welcome another year of Miami University Fashion & Design, hear from our 2026 Icon Class as they reflect on the experiences, opportunities, and community that have shaped their time in MUF&D.

Swipe to read their stories and stay tuned for more information, upcoming events, and everything we have in store this semester.

“I remember hearing about MUF&D for the first time as a freshman at Miami. I was ecstatic. I didn’t think there would be any student orgs that I would genuinely be excited for. I saw that there was model casting and immediately signed up. From the moment I walked in, I felt at home. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, talented, and inspiring. Before joining, I had never really found people who shared my passion for modeling, but MUF&D gave me that community. I ended up meeting my best friend at auditions, and we’ve been roommates and best friends ever since. Over the past two years, MUF&D has given me so much more than creative opportunities. It has given me confidence, lasting friendships, and a true sense of belonging at Miami. If you’re thinking about joining, you absolutely should. You never know how much it might change your college experience.”

-Sophia Neely

“When I first came to Miami, I knew I wanted to get involved and join as many organizations as possible. After seeing MUF&D on Instagram, I submitted an application to model for their social media. I was invited to participate in a photoshoot, and I quickly realized how much I enjoyed the creativity and teamwork that the org fostered.

That spring, my roommate and I attended the annual fashion show, and I immediately fell in love with the intricacy of each collection and the genuine passion that every member poured into their work. Sophomore year, I auditioned to become an Icon for the upcoming show, and looking back, I truly believe it was one of the best decisions I could have made.

MUF&D has given me countless opportunities to learn, grow, and become a more confident version of myself. It has shown me the incredible process of bringing a creative vision to life and the dedication, collaboration, and hard work required to create something truly special.
