Hyosung team to lecture at fashion colleges
Representatives from Hyosung will tour fashion colleges and universities to promote its fibres to upcoming designers and textiles developers.

This series stems from a product development collaboration with the University of Oregon’s Sports Product Management Program in 2020 where students worked with Hyosung’s textile team to develop a backpack for run commuting.  

Mike Simko, Hyosung’s markering director for textiles, commented that is beneficial to have experts from the textile and fashion field to share ‘real-life’ experience and material insight to students.

He said: “Upon graduating, these students could very well be our customers.”

Hyosung has presented to students at the De Montfort University in Leicester, England, and will present at London College of Fashion and New York-based Fashion Institute of Technology in March. 

The South Korean group owns the creora spandex brand,  Mipan nylon and specialty polyester.
