From ancient sewing needles and woven baskets to wearable technology, textile production is a uniquely human endeavor. As part of a co-curated exhibit pulled from the Jo Ann C. Stabb Design Collection at UC Davis, "Textiles: The Art of Mankind," puts this shared history — and future — on display at the Fashion and Textile Museum in London.

Adele Zhang, the manager and curator of the Jo Ann C. Stabb Design Collection, recently shipped 134 of the collection's objects to London, where they will be exhibited for the first time internationally. To make it happen, Zhang worked with partners across UC Davis and launched a successful crowdfunding campaign.

Department of Design student-created fashion was a highlight at the UC Davis Health Women’s Cardiovascular Medicine Program’s 30th anniversary gala held in February at the Davis campus. The garments were new additions to the UC Davis Red Dress Collection, now in its 15th year.
