Lasell College is known for its emphasis and strength in its fashion program. Prospective students can major in Fashion Communication and Promotion, Fashion Retail & Merchandising, and Fashion Design & Production.

This college is one of the few colleges that allow Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors to showcase their garments in the annual undergraduate fashion show in the Spring. Seniors show their final collections on a separate day and showcase eight looks that walk down the runway.

The fashion shows are orchestrated by the other fashion students through weekly workshops and back to stage communication. Recently, Sonjia Williams, a Lasell alumna, won a coveted spot as a Project Runway contestant for season 10 and reached to the top four contestants.
