Emerging Designers Runway Show

The Next Generation of Fashion Starts Here.

Before they make their mark at brands like Lululemon, Anthropologie and Abercrombie & Fitch, or take their designs to the runways of New York Fashion Week, they’re making their debut at NC State.

The Emerging Designers Runway Show celebrates the creativity, craftsmanship and individuality of graduating seniors from the fashion design concentration of the B.S. fashion and textile design degree at NC State’s Wilson College of Textiles.

From bold, avant-garde statements to innovative ready-to-wear collections, each designer brings a unique vision to the runway. Years of learning, a semester of dedication and countless hours of creativity culminate in an unforgettable evening of original fashion, fresh perspectives and emerging design talent.

Join us during NC State Fashion Week as these emerging designers take their first steps toward shaping the future of fashion.
