Over 100 designs by faculty, graduate students and undergraduate students were on display. ITAA sponsors an annual juried design competition. Designs are judged at two stages. Entries are submitted with slides and design descriptions. Finalists are selected and must submit their garments for review by a second panel of judges.
Designs undergo a second round of judging prior to the exhibition.
Winners are announced at the conclusion of the show. Each winner received a computer software package by Pattern Works International. Isabelle Lott of Pattern Works International was on hand to present the award. Additionally, all winners received a year's subscription to Sew News Magazine. Rita Kean, department chair, accepted the award.
