Parsons School of Design
About This Location
Parsons School of Design, the prestigious fashion school in Greenwich Village, appeared in Gossip Girl during Jenny Humphrey's storyline as an aspiring fashion designer. Jenny interviews for admission to Parsons — one of the world's most respected fashion institutions where Marc Jacobs himself studied — but Blair sabotages her interview, and Jenny ends up at Central Saint Martins in London instead. The school's real-world fashion credibility added authenticity to Jenny's designer ambitions and the show's deep connection to New York's fashion industry.
