NCSU Art2Wear

NCSU Art2Wear Art2Wear (A2W) is a student organized runway show hosted by the NC State College of Design in collaboration with the College of Textiles.

Mission:
Art2Wear (A2W) is celebrating its 16th year as a student organized runway show that presents fashion, costume, and wearable sculpture created by the students of the NC State University College of Design and College of Textiles. This annual event hosted by the NC State College of Design, in collaboration with the College of Textiles, attracts an audience of 4,000 and growing each year. Vis

ion:
A2W’s vision is to challenge our audience and designers to question the boundaries and conventional definitions of “fashion”. We seek to explore new fashion ground and create new design pathways by encouraging our students to blend their technical skill with innovative technology.

“Fashion” as defined by A2W:
A product or sculptural piece that interacts with the body and serves as either a cultural artifact, an artistic expression, a reflector of society, outward illustration of a person’s identity (including but not limited to social class, religion, and ethnicity), starter of revolutions, economic building block, basic human need, or body covering
