Textile Designers attend Showtime

Textile Design Master of Science students A. Zurinah Nuri and Ji Young Park were invited guests at this month's International Textile Alliance Showtime, held in High Point, NC.  Showtime is the premier global event that brings together the full range of segments of the textile industry.  Zurinah and Ji were invited--all expenses paid--as the winners of the 2018 Virginia Jackson Design Competition.  This competition celebrates excellence in home furnishing design in jacquard woven, dobby woven and print categories.

Ji shared that: "Showtime was so wonderful. We were able to see what’s going on in the U.S. textile industry and talked to designers. The ITA team did their best every single moment to show us everything!"

Ji and Zurinah participated in line reviews, networking opportunities and showroom tours.  Congratulations again to Zurinah and Ji for their First Place Awards in the 2018 ITA Virginia Jackson Design Competition!  Excellent work!
