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
Fashion is cross-cultural, multifaceted and on a daily basis merges design, manufacturing and engineering, business and management. It is imperative that students in undergraduate textile and apparel programs develop a global mindset that encompasses multiple perspectives. Future industry leaders and consumers will be required to consider issues and build a holistic understanding of complex problems facing the textile and apparel Industry. (LeHew, 2005).
