The perfect #NCStateWilson summer is made up of sun, swimming and sustainable swimwear, of course!
This Senior Design group worked to find a sustainable alternative to spandex for swimwear. The group evaluated Neolast, a type of yarn, by analyzing tensile strength, stretch recovery and fabric opacity.

We’re reliving runway dreams with these jaw-dropping fashion designs from the FTD Emerging Designers Showcase.
#NCStateWilson students knew what they were doing and every piece is a testament to their creativity, skill and hours of hard work. 👏🎉🐺
Thought and did so hard she graduated with a degree in textile engineering and mechanical engineering!
Anna Haskins ‘25 always thought the fiber industry was interesting, which is what led her to textile engineering – but after her 3D modeling class her sophomore year she knew she also had to add on mechanical engineering. As the first NC State graduate to earn a degree in mechanical engineering and textile engineering she’s found where both subjects mesh together, especially with her new job at Honda.
“I think everything I learned from my Excel/VBA and Lean Six Sigma classes from Wilson will definitely come into play in this job. Plus, my understanding of the manufacturing industry, because we take two core textile manufacturing classes where we learn about how to in terms of how to reduce waste and minimize impact on the materials we’re using. So I do think textiles will still have a very important role in my future,” Anna says.

Things first-year fashion and textile design students did? That
In FTD 105, students took hand-woven samples and used texture mapping to create digital designs.
Is it just us, or do all of these sound true?! 🐺👗🔬

Good posture? It’s in.
These Senior Design students worked with @hanes to create an affordable posture correcting t-shirt. Aimed to help those with a higher risk of developing back issues, the prototype features a comfortable and supportive material with long-lasting wear at an affordable price.

Congratulations to recent grad Jordan Everett (TT ‘25), who has said “yes” to every opportunity that came her way at the Wilson College of Textiles!🐺💫👏
“I didn’t expect myself to be involved as much as I was during my four years. I was kind of a low-key type of person. To push that boundary and be more involved really inspired me. It made me realize that I can do even more,” Jordan says.
From leading #NCStateWilson student organizations, studying abroad in Italy and interning with leaders in the textile industry, Jordan didn’t pass up any opportunity to make a difference.
