Recent (and less-recent) Graduates
The diversity of the textiles field means a variety of career choices. Many of our fashion merchandising graduates are employed as managers and buyers for major department stores and specialty store chains. Others work in fashion showrooms on New York City's Seventh Avenue, as design assistants to major apparel manufacturers, or in editorial functions for major fashion magazines. Still others are interior decorators, museum curators, or theatrical costumers. An increasing number are making a name for themselves in the textile industry in product research and development, performance testing, quality control, and textile manufacturing.
The most illustrious of our grads end up on our "Wall of Fame". We'd love to hear of more nominations!
