6:00pm-9:00pm Fiesta on the Roof! Fund Raising Event - President’s Suite, 5th floor Greetings to Members and Guests!

Welcome to Santa Fe for the 2015 International Textile and Apparel Association annual conference. This year we are “Celebrating the Unique” which evolved from Santa Fe’s mantra of “The City Different.” It will be an opportunity to learn something new, try something different, and meet a future colleague. Enjoy stepping outside your comfort zone!

This year we are embracing a few new events to accommodate the conference venue. There will be three days of standing exhibitions for our design scholarship with a fresh group of designs each day. We have a mega poster session to share our research and teaching scholarship with fewer oral sessions. There are new conference theme sessions and an Experience Santa Fe afternoon. Our days are full with meetings and events scheduled from early morning into the evening. Please join us for Fiesta on the Roof Friday night! We have held on to some of our traditional events including the opening reception, our Friday morning breakfast with town hall meeting and our awards luncheon at noon.

Our plenary speakers are outstanding and bring unique perspectives to challenging our thinking. Amy Hall is Director of Social Consciousness and a member of the Leadership Forum for EILEEN FISHER. Simone Cipriani is Head of the Ethical Fashion Initiative of the International Trade Centre (ITC). Judy Frater is the founder of the first educational institution in India for educating indigenous artisans to enter the global apparel market. Judy is the 2015 Janet Else Visiting Scholar and winner of the prestigious Sir Misha Black Award for Design Education.

A special thanks to Fairchild Books and Bloomsbury Publishing for co-sponsoring the opening reception with ITAA, to Lectra for co-sponsoring the Design Exhibit, to Paris American Academy for sponsoring the printed conference program, and to Fashion Supplies for the conference tote bags. Please join me in a huge thank you to our conference chairs, Mary Littrell and Jana Hawley, who have poured heart and soul into welcoming us to Santa Fe and planning a rich and rewarding experience for all. We continue to revel in the dedication of Nancy Rutherford, our very enthusiastic Executive Director, for keeping the meeting and the organization running smoothly. It’s great to know she is on the other end of the email for all our members!

I hope you enjoy the uniqueness of Santa Fe while networking, learning, and embracing the unique people that make our ITAA organization exceptional!

Elizabeth (Missy) Bye ITAA President Welcome to Santa Fe for ITAA 2015! Santa Fe takes pride in its designation as the “city different” with its distinctive architecture, retail entrepreneurship, art galleries, museums, and Southwest cuisine. The conference theme “Celebrating the Unique” builds on Santa Fe’s signature branding. We envision the 2015 ITAA conference as a venue for taking stock of our discipline and assessing what we uniquely offer the industry, our students, and the research community. Conference plenary speakers, the ITAA international scholar, and theme session speakers have been invited to share perspectives that we hope will encourage new thinking about the focus of our work. Throughout the conference we hope you will ask yourself and discuss with colleagues how we can go about strengthening our unique textile and apparel contributions.

It’s been 16 years since ITAA last met in Santa Fe in fall, 1999. While the historic Plaza remains as the city’s focal point, much has changed for you to explore near the Eldorado Hotel. We encourage you to… • take a walk around the Santa Fe plaza, examining the jewelry offerings of the Native American artists under the Portal, stopping at the recently restored Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, and taking time to sit in the park for fabulous people watching. • visit the retail shops identified on the “Boutique Crawl” in your registration materials. Santa Fe’s unique apparel and textile entrepreneurship is alive and well! • walk up Canyon Road for a chance to view the work of the many artists who exhibit in Santa Fe galleries. • discover the artistic riches in at least one of Santa Fe’s world-class museums with their strong fine art and material culture exhibitions. • organize an evening of Southwest cuisine with colleagues.

We look forward to an enriching and fun conference with you in Santa Fe.

Janet Else International Scholar

Judy Frater was named the Janet Else International Scholar for the 2015 meeting. Born in the United States, she has spent the last 25 years living and working among the Rabari and other artisans of the Kutch region of India. Judy first visited India as an exchange student during her undergraduate years. During this exchange, Judy became fascinated with the traditional textiles, culture, and philosophies of India. She firmly believes that you can better understand people’s lives if you study their material culture—and for her, it was the of the Rabari that served as the touchpoint of her understanding. Judy founded the Kala Raksha Trust in 1993 as an exceptional non-governmental organization that would assist over 1,000 local artisans to innovate within their traditions to create products for contemporary markets. Judy later founded Kala Raksha Vidhyalaya, the first design school for traditional artisans. The success of the program was its sustained input from artisans and a schedule that allowed artisans to meet home, family, and seasonal agricultural commitments while learning. In 2014, Judy co-founded Somaiya Kala Vidya, in order to expand the program into an institute which she now directs. This institute, incorporates traditional knowledge, business management for artisans, and core design courses so that artisans can effectively reach new global markets and strengthen their traditional identity. The students have been honored with awards for excellence and invitations to participate in international programs. Ultimately, the capacity of artisan participants improves as they rise above the drought, earthquakes, cyclones, and poverty that have impacted the region. Judy Frater is an in-demand and well-received lecturer whom we are confident will engage the audience at ITAA in considering the role of textile artisan work in the fast-emerging “creative economy.”

ITAA Rising Star Dr. Huiju Park is the recipient of the ITAA Rising Star Award because of his significant contributions in the area of functional design as well as his commitment to teaching and service. When people think of clothing design, they often think of couture clothing and fashion runways, but that is not the whole story. Functional apparel designers create garments that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also take into account the way the body moves and the potentially hazardous environment in which the wearer is working. Dr. Huiju Park, an assistant professor in the Department of Fiber Science and Apparel Design at Cornell University, has been working to increase the mobility and enhance the thermal comfort of first responders’ and soldiers’ ballistic body armor and firefighters’ bunker gear. Recently, his research team received a $3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to create thermoregulatory clothing, or clothing that can heat or cool wearers based on their needs. His team is also working with the firm International Personnel Protection Inc. to develop better protective garments for healthcare workers responding to the Ebola crisis. Dr. Park joined Cornell University shortly after receiving his Ph.D. from Oklahoma State University. He has co-authored 21 peer-reviewed research papers, given presentations at 20 international conferences, and has two patents on smart clothing and . Over his career he has secured $3.1 million in funding from sources such as the Department of Energy, the National Institute for Food and Agriculture, and the Environmental Protection Agency. ITAA 2015 Annual Conference Plenary Session Speakers

Wednesday Amy Hall. As Director of Social Consciousness and a member of the Leadership Forum for women’s clothing designer EILEEN FISHER, Amy supports the company’s efforts to practice “business as a movement.” Amy collaborates internally and externally to guide the company toward ever-increasing human, environmental and economic sustainability. She currently co-facilitates the company’s Vision2020 work, representing the company’s long-term goal of 100% sustainability in product and practice. She also co-leads the company’s People and Culture area, together with leaders of the Human Resources, Leadership Learning & Development and Internal Communications teams. Amy came to EILEEN FISHER over 22 years ago following a fundraising career with various Asian- American cultural, educational and social service organizations in New York City. Her educational background includes a B.A. from Georgetown University, an M.A. from Teachers College, Columbia University, and a sustainable MBA from Green Mountain College. She currently chairs the advisory board of Social Accountability International and serves on the boards of the American Sustainable Business Council and Made-By (a European organization striving to make sustainable apparel the norm). Amy was recognized in 2014 by the Social Venture Network for her service to the socially responsible business community and by the Girl Scouts of Greater New York as a Woman of Distinction. In 2011, Amy rode from New York City to Washington, DC on her self-built bamboo bike as part of the Brita Climate Ride. She also plays the bassoon in the Really Terrible Orchestra of Westchester. Together with their two daughters, Amy and her husband Rob raise honeybees and enjoy adventures on land and water.

Thursday Simone Cipriani created and directs the Ethical Fashion Initiative of the International Trade Centre (ITC), which is a joint agency of the United Nations and the World Trade Organization (WTO). The Ethical Fashion Initiative harnesses the power of fashion as a road out of poverty by connecting designers, such as Stella McCartney to marginalized artisans in slums and rural areas of East Africa, West Africa, and Haiti.

Simone began his career in the leather industry of his native Italy, has directed a large export consortium in Asia, and now leads the Ethical Fashion Initiative that is undergirded by an economic system he designed to work in areas of deprivation. Simone is an in-demand speaker for fashion- related conferences and trade organizations. We are extremely fortunate that Simone has agreed to travel from his base in Switzerland to share his innovative and entrepreneurial insights as part of “Celebrating the Unique” at the 2015 ITAA Conference.

E 5:00-6:00pm The Evolution of Technology in the Classroom and Its Parallel in the Industry Zia B Sabrina Cove, Optitex; Janine Burrows, Academy Sports and Outdoors; and Lynn R Boorady, Buffalo State University When we look at technology in the world of education, we tend to do so from current perspective. However, technology and innovations in technology have always been important in education. We can go back to the early 1900’s with the introduction of the radio and on-air classes, to the overhead projector, videotapes, Skinner Testing Machine, and even the handheld calculator in the 1970’s. The 1 1980’s saw the introduction of computers and the flood gates opened up. Today, a laptop or tablet is common for most students and forget your heavy Biology books, we now have eBooks. In the same way, schools teaching courses in design, pattern making, and merchandising must look at the 2 new technologies available to best prepare their students to enter the modern workforce. Schools need to look into the evolution of technology in the industry, where CAD is no longer sequestered within the 4 walls of the pattern making room and provide their students with the knowledge of how their skills can span across multiple avenues of the business, design, e-comm, marketing, store planning, merchandising, sales and so much more. It is the obligation of higher learning to best prepare their students to enter the modern workforce with the tools for today and the vision for tomorrow.

6:00-6:30pm The Use of Half-scale Dress Forms in the Classroom and in Professional U De Vargas Development Susana Charm, Alvanon, and Susan P. Ashdown, Cornell University R The use of half-scale forms in conjunction with CAD for patternmaking is changing the dynamic in the classroom, as students can create using fewer resources: less space, less material, and less time in initial development of patterns, patterns that are ready for first prototype once they are digitized S into the CAD system and scaled up. The use of half-scale can also benefit us as professionals, opening a pathway to more efficient development of our own creative practice, and, with the Halfscale Forum, connecting us with our peers across the country, across the world, and from D academia to industry. Come see and experience the process of creating on the half-scale form in the classroom and in our own studios. Participants of the Halfscale Forum pilot test and anyone A interested in participating in this Forum in the future are invited to come and network. Learn about the Forum at halfscale.human.cornell.edu. Alvanon will also announce the details of their student Half-Scale Design Competition!

A key action item that surfaced from last year’s special topic session on the future of our field was interdisciplinary research and education. At this year’s session we will focus discussion on how to facilitate and encourage interdisciplinary research and education. We will discuss the types of interdisciplinary work to which textile and apparel scholars could contribute on a national and/or global level, and brainstorm how textiles and apparel could remain important within the 1 interdisciplinary collaborations. Specifically, following the Art of Participatory Leadership technique, we will focus on: (a) SWOT analysis of the discipline (or program); (b) grand challenges that we could address providing solutions (and potential funding sources, such as NIH, USDA, or 2 NSF that require interdisciplinary research teams); (c) niche areas that require our unique expertise; (d) areas to improve; and (e) ways to initiate/implement interdisciplinary research and education.
