A team of DELTA staff helped Textile and Apparel, Technology and Management Professor <\/span>Traci Lamar<\/span><\/a> bring back the \u201990s in a big way. <\/span><\/p>\n During the 2017-2018 <\/span>DELTA Grants<\/span><\/a> cycle, the team remodeled MONA: The Textile Design Explorer, a database built to inspire design professionals as they craft their own textiles and designs. Lamar recalled using the application to teach design students in the late 1990s, and wanted to reincorporate it into her Fashion and Textile Design and Textile Technology classes at <\/span>Wilson College of Textiles<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt was landmark at the time,\u201d she explains. \u201cNobody else was doing digital archiving and making that accessible. In some ways, it was before its time.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
