To nurture the art and creativity of design, the Academy of Art University has opened shop657, a large store in Union Square to provide real life experience to the university students and to provide them with an opportunity to show their creativeness in runway houses of New York fashion week. Besides, the store helps in displaying AAU designs and gives merchandising students a taste of the fashion world in the industry.
