Merchandising Professor Earns High Honors

Posted Tuesday, September 1, 2009

Eulanda Sanders, associate professor in the Department of Design and Merchandising in the College of Applied Human Sciences, won second place in the international Peacock Standard Thai Silk Design Competition. The competition was co-sponsored by Thailand's Queen Sirikit Institute of Sericulture and the International Textile and Apparel Association.

The purpose of the competition was to showcase the Thai government's new "Peacock Standard" for Thai silk. The new standard was established by the Queen Sirikit and bears the Royal Peacock logo. The standard is four quality levels of which the highest is labeled as gold.

Sander's entry, a silk suit design, was titled "Square Root" (modeled below). After sketching sessions and testing the physical characteristics of the fabrics by stitching, cutting and knitting, Sanders (pictured at right in Thailand), created a three piece ensemble inspired by the shape of a square.

Sanders' purpose was to create a women's ensemble that is wearable in a business setting, but also expressing the wearer's aesthetics using four complimentary Peacock Standard Thai silk fabrics.
