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.
This site provides free, public access to the ITAA annual conference proceedings beginning in 2015. Previous proceedings can be found by following the "Additional ITAA Proceedings" link on the left sidebar of this page.

Abstract
The purpose of this design was to portray an edgy professional style by using stiff fabrics to create protruding gills from multiple panels. This ensemble is inspired by the couture Avant Guarde fashion style that captures the innovation of new concepts and techniques that can be described by using bulging shoulders, accentuated waistlines, three dimensional figures protruding from the garment and many other techniques that push the boundaries of everyday attire.
