design research

In partnership with Academy Sports + Outdoors, student teams address a design problem and conduct research through problem definition, data collection and analysis, trend analysis, design and pattern making with 2D and 3D apparel technologies, and finally physical prototypes.

inspired by janet rees

The Historic Costume and Textile Museum is home to a growing collection of Trans World Airlines (TWA) uniforms. TWA chose prestigious clothing designers to create uniforms worn by the flight attendants, beginning with Kansas City native Stan Herman. Later the airline chose Hollywood designer Howard Greer, Oleg Cassini, American sportswear designer Don Loper, French couturier Pierre Balmain, Italian couturier Valentino, and later American designers Elisa Daggs and Ralph Lauren. 

Fashion Production II students examine the collection for inspiration to modify a jacket pattern, resulting in a remix of the past and present. The collection was donated in loving memory of Janet Lee Rees by her husband Richard, KSU ’61 and ’64.
