ABOUT

Building Designers Beyond the Classroom

The Yussof Hussein Emerging Textile Designer Program is an industry-supported initiative created to help students and emerging designers experience textile printing in a real production environment.

This program allows selected participants to print their designs on professional fabrics in small project quantities for portfolio and academic development, while learning the practical considerations of textile materials, print preparation, and production workflow.

Our aim is to support learning today and build long-term relationships with the designers and brands of tomorrow.
