Emerging Designers Runway Show 2026

Before launching careers with brands like Lululemon, Anthropologie, and beyond, or showcasing work at New York Fashion Week, graduating seniors from the Fashion Design program in the Wilson College of Textiles at NC State University debut their collections on the runway.

The Emerging Designers Runway Show highlights original collections developed during the capstone course, representing the culmination of each designer’s creative vision, technical skill, and personal aesthetic.

Each designer will present a series of looks, brought to life in a professionally produced runway show. From concept to final garment, these collections reflect months of design development, craftsmanship, and innovation.

Join us for an evening celebrating the next generation of fashion designers. This ticketed event will take place at Talley Student Union. Doors to the ballroom open at 6:30 p.m. Dress Code: Cocktail / Formal Attire — Come dressed to impress and celebrate fashion with us!
