ARRIS Denim is an upcoming denim collection started by Fashion Institute of Technology Textile Development and Fashion Design students in part with the annual Textile Development senior project. The projects allows students to get a feel for a real-world work environment, and provides them with the knowledge and resources to build a denim brand from the ground up. Throughout the semester we will be working with manufacturers, fabric mills, pattern makers, and many other sources that go into branding a company. Together, the Fashion Design and Textile Development students with utilize their strengths to create great quality, polished denim.
