SHOWCASE OF EXCELLENCE

150 YEAR HISTORY

In 1863, Bluemont Central College, was founded as our nation’s first land grant university under the Morrill Act. It was one of the first colleges to admit women and men equally. Kansas State pioneered academic teaching of home economics.

Women were to gain an education in homemaking, learning important and useful skills such as sewing and the science behind cooking. Through the development of these skills women could support themselves and their families during a time of settlement upon the western lands. Now, 150 years later, we acknowledge our past and the empowerment it provides. Among the many halls located on campus, 17 buildings are named in honor of women with connection to the university. Justin Hall, named after Margaret M. Justin, dean of the Division of Home Economics from 1923 to 1954, resides students learning the core classes to Bluemont College like the IDFS program. Our theme for this year’s Showcase of Excellence is all about empowerment, making one stronger and more confident. With our theme in mind, our department at Justin Hall celebrates the empowerment our college’s history provides and aspire to continue the advancement of skill and knowledge to students.

JANET REES INSPIRED

The Janet Rees project is a way for students to recreate and be inspired by not only the glamourous clothing, but the history of it as well. Janet had a unique style that was full of energy; using her clothing to inspire, we can empower our clothing to celebrate life, creativity, and community. The students use the collection to research current and past styles as part of their design process resulting in a remix of historic and artistic elements. The Historic Costume and Textile Museum holdings and the Janet Lee Rees collection are preserved so that they can be an inspiration to our apparel design students to reinterpret in fresh new ways.

A chance meeting and shared interests, and the couple married in 1970. Dick describes Janet as the love of his life and his devotion to her and her memory is clear.

Janet passed away in November 2010. Janet had many interests, clothing, art, interior decorating, antiques, gardening, travel and for Boston Terriers. She had a great sense of innate style and an eye for details.

Dick gave the Janet Lee Rees collection to the HCTM to keep her name and memory alive and honor the love of his life. He has given the HCTM over 900 pieces of clothing and accessories in the Janet Lee Rees collection. There is clothing worn by both Janet and Dick, Janet’s mother, and grandmother--- three generations of history in clothing.

NATURAL DYE SKIRTS

In Fall 2018, the Apparel Production I class integrated a natural dye skirt project that supports environmental, social, and economic sustainability. The project also celebrates national women’s entrepreneurship week through its connections to women’s cooperatives, businesses, and fair-trade companies.

The natural dye project started off with students gathering leaves from their assigned tree on the K-State tree walk. The K-state tree walk is a 1.5 mile trail with over 100 species of trees, providing an opportunity to learn about the diverse ecosystem on the campus.

The project uses hand-woven fabric made by women from a weaving cooperative in Choa Cruz, Guatemala. Zoe Schumn, alumna and fair-trade business owner, noted: “Women in this community live on approximately $0.76 - $1.25 a day. Purchasing hand-loomed fabric for one project increases the monthly earning of a Choa Cruz weaver by 13% and allows them to buy necessities such as chickens for both eggs and meat.” K-State students have the opportunity to travel to Guatemala and see how the textiles for this project are made.

22 22

The next stage is creating pattern and color with natural dyes. The fabric is washed and pre-treated with aluminum and tannin mordants, to assist bonding dye molecule to the fiber. The fabric can now be dyed with natural dyestuffs or dyed as a last step. To create the leaf prints, leaves are placed on the fabric and covered with fabric pretreated with a small amount of iron. The layers are rolled onto a PVC pipe steamed for ninety minutes. The skirt pattern selected for the project was designed by Linda Lee, alumna and owner of The Sewing Workshop in Topeka, Kansas.

In 2019, Emily Oertling was awarded a Green Action Fund grant to sustain the project, thus removing all financial responsibilities from students and faculty, while ensuring an annual order of hand-loomed fabric from the Choa Cruz cooperative. These sustainable garments are now available for purchase through a silent auction and displayed on the runway during the Showcase of Excellence Runway Show. All funds will go towards materials needed to sustain this project.

Bidding starts at $40.

CAREER CLOSET This year at the IDFS Showcase of Excellence we are going the sustainable route and taking donations for the career closet.

The Career Closet is open to all Kansas State University students. Clothing is free to students, but they do accept monetary donations for the Manhattan Emergency Shelter. Typically, students may take up to 3 items, depending on inventory. Available to all K-State students.

We will not be doing swag bags this year due to them creating more waste in the environment.

If you were not able to bring donations tonight you can bring them to the Berney Family Welcome Center!

SHOWCASE OF EXCELLENCE

SYDNEY STRICKER FASHION BUSINESS

What school organizations are you a part of?

I am an IDFS Student Ambassador and a College of Health and Human Sciences Student Ambassador.

What extra curriculars are you a part of?

I am one of the two VS PINK Campus Representatives for K-State. With this role I help put on free events on campus, run the Kansas State PINK social media accounts, put on in-store events, and so much more! Being a VS PINK Campus Rep has been a highlight of my college career because of the connections and hands on experience I have been able to gain through the company!

What is a piece of advice that you would give to an incoming student in your program?

My advice to any incoming students is to get involved as much as you can. Do not be afraid to become friends with your classmates. Go to any event that the department is putting on whether it is the career fair, faculty lead trip, or a guest speaker. The more time you invest the more you are going to get out of it!

What made you choose this program at K-State?

I chose K-State mainly because of the IDFS Department. When looking into coming to K-State and becoming a part of this program I learned that I had the opportunity to apply to go to the Fashion Institute of Technology my junior year for a one-year program in NYC. This really drew my attention because I was wanting to get the full college experience by getting to go to sporting events and other things K-State offered, but at the time I was wanting to go to out of state for college. So, after learning about this one-year opportunity with FIT, I was set on attending K-State because of getting to experience both!

JAXSON METZLER FASHION DESIGN

What extra curriculars are you a part of?

I have two on campus jobs. One is in the K-State Costume Shop, where I help create all the costumes for K-State’s Theater Department Main Stage Productions. And my other jobs are as a Premium Seat Hospitality Attendant, with the Ahearn Fund. With this job, I work up in the suites on football and baseball games, and down along courtside for basketball games.

What is your favorite memory in our department?

My favorite type of memory would have to be working in studio late at night with my fellow classmates. The later and later it gets, the loopier and sillier we become, which has created long lasting jokes that bonds the class together. Although, I do suggest trying and have good time-management skills, it will help in the long run.

What is a piece of advice that you would give to an incoming student in your program?

Do not be afraid to step outside the box and go against the norm. If designers did not think outside the box, we would never have any iconic fashion moments.

Have you had any outside industry experiences throughout your years at K-State?

I have my own business, Jaxson Wyatt. Jaxson Wyatt’s mission is to create clothes that empower ALL women. If you can feel confident in what you are wearing, you can rock whatever you do, whether it be at your job, a night out on the town, or a daunting first impression. The brand also has the selfresponsibility of creating clothing that is more socially and environmentally sustainable. Jaxson Wyatt has had the honor of showing collections at Kansas City Fashion week twice, for F/W 19/20 and F/W 20/21.
