On June 15, the Department of Textile and Fashion Design proudly presented the 2026 Graduation Fashion Show.
As part of the FD 498 Graduation Project, this year’s collections explored the theme Re-Framing Fashion through the Moving Body and Relational Well-Being. Grounded in ethical, circular, and body-centered design, the project invited students to rethink the relationship between the dressed body, movement, and responsibility, while approaching well-being as an interconnected concept embracing the body, the individual, society, and the planet. Through experimental design methodologies, material exploration, and responsible fashion approaches, each collection reflected the students’ individual interpretation of the project theme.
