Fashion & Technology SIG
The Fashion & Technology SIG serves the apparel & footwear industries and was recently extended to include members with interests in leather processing and products.
12
Smart Wearables SIG
This SIG looks at a breadth of disparate emerging technologies in the textile driven area of smart clothing and wearable technology. To bring emerging smart textile technologies to near market within this interdisciplinary area, the aesthetics and comfort of the textiles and clothing must be acceptable and the technology interface simple and intuitive for an inclusive audience. This SIG is promoting knowledge transfer through publication, and in the development of learning materials, to inform the user-led design research and development of textile and clothing ‘products’ that are appropriate for the wearer’s life style needs and culture.
13
Design SIG
The Design SIG is intended to bring together all members involved in, or interested in, design related activities across the world. This SIG aims to promote interest in design, develop networking, provide a forum for debate and form links between education and industry.
14
Schools SIG
We believe it to be important to maintain the teaching of textiles in secondary schools and realise it is difficult for teachers to keep up to date with the technological developments currently taking place in the world of fashion and textiles. We aim to offer continued support to teachers and help bridge the gap between academia and industry.
15
Sustainable SIG
Relatively new, the Sustainable Special Interest Group (SIG) has been formed to consider issues of sustainability occurring worldwide. We are aiming to build an international network of participants with knowledge and interests across the diverse fields of environmental and sustainability relative to the sector.
16
Technical Textiles SIG
This SIG looks at Technical textiles and related products are manufactured primarily for their technical performance and functional properties rather than their aesthetic or decorate characteristics. Examples of technical textile end-uses include aerospace, industrial, marine, medical and military, safety and transport textiles and geotextiles.
Technical textiles remains the fastest growing section within the global textiles and clothing industry. Textile products include Personal protective Equipment (PPE), airbags, sports clothing and clothing with integrated electronics.
17
Hong Kong Section
The Textile Institute Association Hong Kong Ltd was established in 1997 to continue the roles of its precursor, the Textile Institute Hong Kong Section in providing services to Members in Hong Kong and vicinity.

Karachi Section Pakistan
The need for Karachi Section of TI was felt because its counterpart in Lahore has been organizing successful events on textiles and materials through TI Platform; and since Karachi in itself supports a sufficiently good base of textile industries, educational institutions and other textile organisations, it is only appropriate that it forms a Section of its own.
19
London & South East Section
The London and South East Section provides is a very friendly forum at which to meet industry colleagues and make new friends. The committee meet about every six weeks to plan events and often go for a meal together afterwards, making it a sociable as well as working evening.
