ABOUT AFA
The American Fashion Association is committed to the full range of textiles education, research, innovation and service. No other Association can match our facilities, faculty talent, industry connections or the STEM-based rigor of our academic programs. That’s why our graduates are sought by top employers .
For more than 5 years, we’ve been an essential component of the state and national economies. We support textiles — a multibillion-dollar global industry — and everything that depends on textile technology, including air filters, artificial heart valves and wearable electronics. From sustainable fashion to protective gear for first responders, we cover it all.
