 | The Student Design Show is an
annual highlight and serves as a culmination of a year's work for Textile and Apparel students.
The apparel items have been created by students and approved by jury
before being exhibited. The actual planning, promotion, choreography, music and
execution of the show is also done entirely by students. Since our program has a
distinct focus on product development, the energy and creativity that goes
into the annual design show is central to the program's academic efforts!

Jennifer Hanlon, a former graduate of
the UNI's Textile and Apparel program served as show jurist. In 1993, Jennifer
directed the very first TAPP Expo Design Show, so we were delighted to have her
return and select the best designs for this year's show. Jennifer's visit was
funded by a grant from the University's Fifty-Seven Fund, which Dr. Lynch
acquired. Jennifer is currently a Senior Human Resources Generalist with
Minnesota Public Radio.

| The designs are created in
textile and apparel classes, as well as during the student's own private
time. The designs represent hours of conceptual development and
painstaking labor to produce them. Designs range from high concept, to
pragmatic, to historically influenced, to forms of wearable art.
|
| The show itself is the combined
effort of the TAPP student organization, other volunteer students, and
faculty. Funding from student fees helps to allay some of the
expenses.

This year's design show was a proud participant of UNI's Arts in April Series!
