The 2025 Designers
This year's showcase will feature these 26 incredible designers.
The FTD Emerging Designers Showcase debuts the senior collections of students graduating from the Wilson College of Textiles’ fashion and textile design (FTD) program.
Before they go on to design for Lululemon, Anthropologie, Pottery Barn and show at New York Fashion Week, students graduating from the fashion and textile design (FTD) program in the Wilson College of Textiles at NC State University will debut their senior collections this April.
The FTD Emerging Designers Showcase celebrates collections made during the capstone course for students majoring in FTD.
Students in the fashion design concentration will send six looks down the runway during a show at the W. Duke Kimbrell Atrium in the Textiles Complex on NC State’s Centennial Campus. Collections range from ready-to-wear to avante-garde.
Those concentrating in textile design will display collections of home textiles, apparel, fiber art and more during an exhibition in the Textiles Complex.
