Overview

The color, print, and form of a design may catch your eye, but it’s the fabric that makes the product work. Textiles are the language and the heart of fashion and allied industries. Would you like to be a part of a $2 trillion global industry? In New York City alone, there are currently over 180,000 jobs related to textiles.

Key Features

Learn about the elements that make a textile what it is—and make a designer’s creation look and perform exactly as it should. This two-year program will help you to jumpstart your career in the creative world of textile development and fashion. The textile and fashion industry are global, and our graduates often travel internationally. Once you have an AAS, you can apply for a BS in Textile Development and Marketing at Fashion Institute of Technology SUNY.

You’ll study textiles in the fashion and home furnishings industries, learn hands-on in our industry-standard labs, and master professional equipment and software. By graduation, you’ll be ready to use innovative technologies to turn ideas into the products consumers crave.
