The Fashion Show will display garments designed and modeled by North Carolina State students using Freudenberg, DuPont, and PGI nonwoven fabrics. Students and garments will be available for discussion and review during the table-top session Wednesday night.
“The show is considered technical because we will be discussing the issues of using nonwoven fabrics with woven patterns as well as other differences and challenges when designing with nonwovens,” explains Kate Dutton, one of the three graduate students participating in the project. “We hope to show the industry that one day nonwovens could have a place in the fashion apparel market.”
INDA President Rory Holmes welcomes the unique and ambitious undertaking to the Conference. “INTC is all about developing new technologies to produce more advanced finished products. Attendees will have a chance to see nonwoven fabrics in actual fashion designs and this event will add some excitement and flair to the conference.”
“I commend and applaud the North Carolina State students and their advisors who have worked on this project and who will bring a little bit of fashion to the world of nonwovens and technical textiles at INTC this year,” Holmes adds.
