Behind the scenes in the research and development labs of Victoria\u2019s Secret, Wilson College of Textiles alumni ensure products of high quality and comfort for the globally known brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While completing an associate\u2019s degree in fashion design in Arizona, Sheryl Ray Lavy became fascinated with the dyeing and chemical processes involved in textile production. After learning about the Wilson College, she moved to Raleigh and began studying textile technology<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a summer lab internship, Lavy began a role at Victoria\u2019s Secret in quality management and currently oversees the research and development lab in Ohio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the lab, textile specialists test raw materials and products for the company by creating and measuring performance standards. They assess the mechanical properties of bras, new products and samples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re constantly making sure we’re up to date on all of the things that are changing in the industry and evolving with the business needs,\u201d Lavy explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her role, Lavy \u201912 has worked with multiple fellow NC State alumni, and right now, she oversees two-time Wilson College graduate Kamryn Henderson. Following graduation, Henderson began working under Lavy\u2019s guidance as an associate textile laboratory specialist. She completed her B.S. in Fashion and Textile Management<\/a> in 2021 and Master of Science in Textiles<\/a> 2023 through the accelerated Bachelor\u2019s to Master\u2019s program<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cKeeping an open mind helped me,\u201d Henderson reflects. \u201cI tried not to lean one way or the other, so I was applying to jobs in technical design as well as the job I have now to see what stuck and give myself all types of opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For both alumni, an understanding of textile chemistry, technology and sustainability combined a lifelong love of fashion with a scientific approach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love for the lab<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>As lab manager, Lavy\u2019s duties include coordinating projects, meeting with international offices and facilitating fast-paced testing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI like working with people from all over the world. I also like digging into the technical side from a performance perspective,\u201d Lavy shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with lab work, the team occasionally travels to the company\u2019s domestic and international hubs. Only one year into her role, Henderson has already visited New York, Chicago and Philadelphia with the team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love the flexibility and I love the people I work with,\u201d Henderson says. \u201cI definitely think my number one favorite part of my role is the hands-on aspect. It’s very engaging because I’m doing different things all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolfpack for life<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During her time at the Wilson College, Lavy expanded her new knowledge and network by joining the student chapter of the American Association for Textile Chemists and Colorists<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe community that the Wilson College of Textiles has within the university is such a tight-knit group. I still keep up with some of the other students,\u201d Lavy says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While learning about textile manufacturing and technology in class, Henderson developed a special interest in 3D design and sustainability. She expanded her knowledge through a sustainability internship with the Advanced Functional Fabrics of America and research for her master\u2019s program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor my thesis, I studied surgical sponge absorbency. It was a little bit of a transition, but it was fun,\u201d Henderson says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future focused<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Along with working full-time, Lavy recently began a master\u2019s of environmental and natural resources program. She says a passion for gardening piqued her interest regarding opportunities for natural fibers and responsible production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI look forward to being able to utilize my new degree for my work and focus more on sustainability and educating folks about what’s going on,\u201d Lavy elaborates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
