We provide a meaningful voice, representing a diverse range of Institutions from across the world providing an opportunity to share knowledge and intercultural understanding to inform, develop, shape, and direct the fashion and textile curricula and research agenda.

We offer an inclusive approach to membership welcoming and supporting both well-established and new institutions, providing opportunities for mentoring and sharing of best and future education and research practices.
