The Department of Textiles and Clothing at Fu Jen Catholic University, founded by Sister Maryta Laumann in 1970, has produced over 8,000 graduates. Over the past half-century, these alumni have become a powerhouse, not just in the textile and clothing industries within Taiwan, but globally. Building on our long history of remarkable accomplishments, the College of Fashion and Textiles celebrated its grand opening on August 1, 2017. Since then, we have remained forward looking, passionately taking our position as a leader of fashion education in Taiwan while maintaining our focus on sustainability, innovation, and social engagement.

At the same time, we have remained true to the Fu Jen Catholic University mission to guide students to approach their professional training with the humanistic values of truth, goodness, and beauty.

Over our long history, we have grown roots in the industry in three ways. The three areas of specialization (fashion design, textile design, and fashion management) offered by our undergraduate program are constantly adjusted to directly respond to industry needs, and the Department’s MA degree program allows students to dig deeper with their research and expertise. Secondly, since 2012 our International MA Program in Brand and Fashion Management (taught entirely in English) is the outreach wing of our institute drawing international students and making connections around the globe. Finally, the College is also home to the Institute of Museum Studies which deals with our heritage and the preservation of our extensive clothing and textiles collections.

We invite you to visit us, either virtually or in person, where you will see the results of how we live our motto: “Together we can!”
