Representing a career that spans genre and sound, Usher's ambition both challenges and provokes. Perhaps this is why the Atlanta-born singer continues to occupy popular culture, not only through his Grammy Award-winning recordings, but also across fashion and the fine arts, where he has emerged as a patron and collector. He identifies career as a collage. Evolution does not mean abandoning the past, but layering it, building new meaning atop experience, vulnerability, and history.

Beginning August 29, 2025, FIT students will compete for the chance to design an exclusive Roc Nation capsule collection, set to debut in 2026. The competition offers more than bragging rights. The winning student will take home a $20,000 prize - equal to the approximate cost of a year's tuition - and see their designs developed into a limited-edition Roc Nation collection. For fashion students, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to merge classroom creativity with real-world cultural impact.

Charlie Sparks brings explosive new merch collections that sell out immediately, reflecting the same creativity that defines his music in clubs and festivals.
