Particular Area of interest
DEMT Clothing Construction students participate in the creative energies of design by “redesigning” denim jackets for the annual fundraiser benefiting the Dallas chapter of Design Industries Foundation Fighting Aids (DIFFA). The jackets are cut, ripped, painted, bleached, dyed, jeweled, embellished and otherwise sewn and fashioned into one-of-a-kind works of art then auctioned at a gala extravaganza.
