The winners have been chosen for the 2010 AATCC C2C Student Design Competition.

The event take palce on Friday, March 26, 2010 at RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., USA.

AATCC launched its sixth annual design competition in August 2009, and received 70 entries from 16 schools and universities. The Summer Bling! theme gave students the challenge of creating fabric or product designs for pool and beachwear based on color palettes from Pantone.

Entries included embellishments anywhere from beading and embroidery to knotting and smocking.
