Not really.
They accept 84% of their applicants, which means they are not very selective at all.
Also, they are only accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, which is not a regional accreditation body.
If someone was serious about fashion design as a career, I'd suggest the Pratt Institute (52%) or the Fashion Institute of Technology (42%), which are both regionally accredited.
(Regional accreditation is critical when trying to determine the quality of a school.)
