Textile Design Reception in NYC was a rousing success!

We are happy to report that we had a fantastic time at the Textile Design Reception held at the beautiful Waterworks showroom in the Flatiron district of Manhatten. So many talented and successful alumni and friends of the department came out to see the work of our current graduate students.

The Waterworks Showroom was a beautiful setting for a night of catching up and trading stories. We were proud to display the works of graduate students Ben Jones, Jiyoung Park, Emily Reppert, Jackie Moore, and Lauren Brauninger as well as the work of undergraduates, Sophia Turco, and Ollie Pagnotta.


Among our esteemed guests were L. Tadd and Sandy Schwab, Steven Roberts, CEO of the Echo Design Group, Liora Manne, and Susan Toporowski, Head of Home Design at Macy's. Lichtenberg came out in full force and was represented by Jim Geise, Sr Account Exec, Scott Goldstein, President, Amy Hanlon, Sr Vice President of Design, and Holly Slavin, Director of Design.


Last but certainly not least, we are honored and grateful to our wonderful host, Deanna Amorello '02, M'04. Deanna generously hosted this truly lovely evening.
