The first national meeting of textile and clothing professors took place in Madison, Wisconsin in June 1959. With a mission to advance excellence in education, scholarship and innovation, and their global applications, the International Textile and Apparel Association (ITAA) is a professional and educational association of scholars, educators, and students in the textile, apparel, and merchandising disciplines in higher education.
This site provides free, public access to the ITAA annual conference proceedings beginning in 2015. Previous proceedings can be found by following the "Additional ITAA Proceedings" link on the left sidebar of this page.

Abstract
Clothing is our second skin and suggests both intimacy and protection simultaneously. As our second skin, clothing is often seen as a projection of who we are or want to be. Within my creative research I am interested in the relationships between two larger ideas such as these dichotomies between clothing and identity. An additional connection that is examined in this piece is the desire to share, confess or expose oneself, yet anonymously.
