    JACKIE ROGERS SPRING 2016 COLLECTION LOOKBOOK JACKIE ROGERS Jackie Rogers’ new collection is an homage to the works of famed artist Salvador Dali, with whom she established a friendship with while she lived in Paris. Jackie who started as a menswear designer at the suggestion of Chanel was inspired by Dali’s works and Rogers uses the artistic motif and iconography in the collection coupled with sumptuous fabrics including gabardine, lamé and silk chiffon to create these unique looks. In addition, the new collection features an expansion of her burlap jackets, which she tailors to the body and creates beautiful structured designs and expands her use of the fabric into ornate dresses that turned the heads of many at the event. As Rogers, often referred to as “America’s Coco Chanel,” likes to say, “I don’t believe in fashion, I believe in style,” and this motto is reflected throughout her latest collection, which is made with the timeless elegance that is the signature of the Jackie Rogers brand. Each Jackie Rogers design makes a statement of sophistication and style with every piece being perfectly tailored to fit the body. When you enter a room, the beauty and craftsmanship of signature a Jackie Rogers design is unmistakable as Rogers uses sewing techniques she perfected while working with Coco Chanel at her Paris studio.

  • A Digital Textile Printer to Aid in the Product Development Process
    FROM CONCEPT TO CREATION: A DIGITAL TEXTILE PRINTER TO AID IN THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS Dr. Sherry Schofield Dr. Jessica Ridgway Retail, Merchandising and Product Development – College of Human Sciences PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed funding from the Student Technology Fee will be used to purchase a wide- format digital ink-jet fabric printer which will provide students the unique opportunity to print their own developed creative ideas using this cutting edge textile printing technology. Our goal with this project is to further integrate current industry technologies into the Retail, Merchandising, and Product Development (RMPD) course curriculum. Within the textile and apparel industry, when a new product is being developed, often the designer is forced to use the available prints that were designed by someone else. This process can limit the designer’s ability to create a truly unique product or garment and to the designer is not able to design from initial concept to final product. Today’s technology is changing this process; with the introduction of digital textile printers, designers can take part in the entire product development process starting with textile design. With the incorporation of a digital printer and the accompanying software into the RMPD textile lab, our students will have the ability to experience a similar concept to product process with the creation of his or her own sample fabric, which could ultimately result in new and unique products. Furthermore, the use of a digital textile printer affords students the ability to incorporate technology into the product development process. This not only emulates current industry practices, but also allows for further exploration in product development.
