According 
to the Economic Development Council of Seattle & King County, Washington state has a fashion and apparel industry worth over $8.3 billion. The Apparel, Textiles and Merchandising program lies at the intersection of artistry and enterprise meeting the needs of the vibrant apparel industry in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Students learn the industry from sourcing to manufacturing, design, merchandising, marketing, and more. Course offerings explore fashion’s history, and look to the future with themes like sustainability, fashion trend analysis, and use of digital presentation techniques. Our undergraduates partner with faculty on research other institutions reserve for graduate students. A highlight of our program is the annual Spring Fashion Show, an open-to-the-public event that showcases months of hard work, both from student designers and the student production crew.
