The first national meeting of textile and clothing professors took place in Madison, Wisconsin in June 1959. With a mission to advance excellence in education, scholarship and innovation, and their global applications, the International Textile and Apparel Association (ITAA) is a professional and educational association of scholars, educators, and students in the textile, apparel, and merchandising disciplines in higher education.

Abstract
The process for this ensemble was inspired by design by Bob Mackie's beading techniques combined with research from a garment at a local historic costume collection and the use of my own design logo. I used part of my logo design to incorporate into the pattern on the front and back of jacket and pant pocket edging, which was all hand beaded. This cohesive suit is a reflection of Bob Mackie's extravagant design in the generous peplum and conspicuous embellishment.
