We are seeking outstanding designer/craftsmen to reflect the high standards of design talent making products in North Carolina.

Fashion Week 2012 will provide a leadership challenge for College of Textiles’ students and faculty to elevate design and marketing activities for apparel and home textile products as well as a fantastic opportunity for North Carolina artisans/craftsmen to share their expertise and creative product with global, state and local individuals. The Marketplace welcomes submissions from designers working in all media including artwork, ceramics, metal, paper and wood, but will give priority to fashion accessories, jewelry, photography, wearable art, and related home products.

Supported by major industry sponsorship and a professional marketing campaign, the Designer Marketplace 2012 will be promoted in a “kick-off” press conference, featured in the program listings and will be announced during the two major university/industry forums focusing on innovation and creativity!
