4 Fashion Shows<\/h2>\n

\n provide NC State students with the opportunity to showcase their work.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Fashion Expos\u00e9 and Art2Wear are open to student designers enrolled in any program at any point in their college careers. The FTD Emerging Designers Showcase is limited to seniors in our fashion and textile design program. Threads is only available to seniors in fashion development and product management who choose to enroll in the elective course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While fashion shows are an opportunity for our student designers, they bring together the entire Wilson College community. <\/strong>Students across all of our programs frequently volunteer to model, work in promotions and ticketing, or simply attend to support their friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FTD Emerging Designers <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FTD Emerging Designers<\/a> represents the culmination of four years of fashion and textile design (FTD) education and experience. FTD students spend their final semester creating collections for this capstone course. What they create in our labs and studios depends on their concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fashion Design <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fashion design students debut their collections with a runway show, complete with a professional photographer, a livestream of the event and ticketed seats for the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each student takes six looks from concept to final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
