Jay Calderin

Teaches at School of Fashion Design

The Boston Globe refers to Jay Calderin as “a budding designer's best friend.” He is the author of The Fashion Design Reference & Specification Book (formerly Form, Fit, Fashion), which the LA Times called, "a new fashion bible for designers, aspirers and the just plain curious." It was followed by his second book, Fashion Design Essentials, and a collaboration on a third book entitled, Fashion Design, Referenced. He is also a contributor to Native Fashion Now, the book that will accompany a Peabody Essex Museum exhibit of the same name. Jay founded and serves as Executive Director of Boston Fashion Week and was appointed Creative Director of the first Chengdu Fashion Week in 2012.
