Fashion and textiles can take you farther than you imagined — with programs that reflect the realities of the fashion and retail world. Collaborate on industry-sponsored projects for clients like Macy’s, NASA, QVC, Target, Under Armour, Urban Outfitters and more. Learn about fashion and textiles from the inside out, because it’s more than just pretty clothing. It’s also about the people who make the fashion and textile industries run, evolve and progress. It’s the fabricators, suppliers, merchandisers, engineers, marketers and event planners — from concept to consumer and the marriage of fabric to frame.
At Jefferson, each spring brings with it an Annual Student Fashion Design Show — a celebration of our Fashion Design students, four years in the making to highlight their creative, innovative and forward-thinking designs.

Our state-of-the-art Fashion and Textiles Futures Center, the premier center for fashion and textile programs, immerses you in experiences that mirror industry. It provides a forward-looking, market-sensitive, dynamic and highly collaborative environment like no other.
During your second year of the fashion merchandising track, you’ll have the opportunity to surround yourself with the vibrant energy of New York’s fashion culture. Meet and build lasting connections with working professionals through weekly visits to companies, studios and showrooms.
In our Textile Design program, you can study at an international textile school, or at one of the most famous textile museums in the world. If you study weave, knit, or print textiles, you can take part in a semester-long exchange program in Scotland. Take studio and technical textile courses in the campus’s fully renovated, turn-of-the century textile mill and studios set against the Scottish countryside.
Take a closer look at Jefferson’s Textile Design Program through the video, 'Weaving Creativity, Craft & Innovation,' featuring students and faculty, focusing on all that makes our program special — from its people to its facilities to its resources and machines.
