Community
Learn by
doing.
Members engage in creative production through efforts such as the annual 1978 book and the Capstone Fashion Show. Opportunities include working local shows, creating photoshoots and even working New York Fashion Week.
The annual University of Texas Capstone Fashion Show is where students in the Division of Textiles and Apparel exhibit their educational journey through a collection. TXA design students receive a platform to showcase their work and celebrate the strength of UT’s fashion design program. UFG has funded, planned and produced this event for more than two decades.
