Most students take their finals in a lecture hall or lab. For seniors majoring in fashion and textile design (FTD) at the Wilson College of Textiles, final exams happen on the runway and in a showroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

26 such seniors launched their design careers with the FTD Emerging Designers Showcase<\/a> in April. The annual event showcases capstone collections with a runway show and textile exhibition. It also serves as a celebration for FTD students, who have just completed what many say is the most challenging \u2013 and most rewarding \u2013 course of their academic careers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
