#NCStateWilson students and alum are leaving their mark on the design world, bringing creativity and expertise to the global stage at High Point Market. From innovative uses of fabrics to trendsetting interior designs, their textile education gives them a unique edge in shaping the future of interiors.
Britt Warner (‘20) says, “I know things that other people don’t know in the industry. I have to consider how a fabric is going to wear over time probably four times a day, and I can determine that without having to look into the abrasion resistance or anything because I know the fiber.”
High Point also hosted a day for current students to learn more about market with @withitorg where they got to sit for a panel discussion and learn from other people in the industry including some of our alums!

“Applying my experience from the Wilson College of Textiles allowed me to appreciate the intersection of creativity and technical skills required in the fashion world,” Sophia says. “Many of my experiences at Wilson College of Textiles have given me the confidence to engage in meaningful conversations with industry professionals and contribute valuable insights based on my education and training.”
