Fall 2025 TEX Chats

More Than Just Design

Tuesday, Sept. 23 | 5:30-6:30 p.m. (ET)

When you think about textiles, what comes to mind? Models? Runways? Elaborate outfits? While design is an integral part of our industry, the uses of textiles extend far beyond the runway. Join some of our current students and alumni as they discuss the many different facets of the textile industry.

Working For Your Favorite Brand
