On Wednesday, October 29, Pratt Institute will present Legends 2025. The annual scholarship benefit pays tribute to icons of art, design, and architecture and serves as a fundraiser for scholarships. This noteworthy occasion serves as a crucial fundraiser for scholarships. More than seventy-five percent of Pratt students rely on financial aid to pursue their educational aspirations, and contributions from events like Legends play a pivotal role in shaping the future of creative talent. This year, two distinguished individuals—internationally renowned fashion designer Jeremy Scott, BFA Fashion Design ’95, and award-winning interior designer and mentor Mavis Wiggins, BFA Environmental Design ’75—will be honored at Lavan Midtown in Manhattan.

Legends 2025 will celebrate the achievements of these remarkable honorees whose accomplishments and values resonate with those of Pratt. The event raises funds for scholarships awarded on the basis of need and merit that support and foster artists, designers, architects, and creative thinkers of all backgrounds. Proceeds raised through Legends strengthen the student body by allowing the most qualified students to benefit from a Pratt education, regardless of their financial background.

“We are thrilled to celebrate Legends 2025 and honor the extraordinary achievements of Jeremy Scott and Mavis Wiggins, two distinguished Pratt alumni whose visionary work in fashion and architecture and interior design has reshaped their fields,” said Pratt President Frances Bronet. “Their creativity and leadership exemplify the very best of a Pratt education. This celebration not only recognizes their impact on the world but also raises essential funds to support our students, ensuring the next generation of creative leaders can thrive and drive meaningful change.”
