Science Museums of Charlotte, Inc. will develop a 5500 square foot traveling exhibit on SCIENCE of FASHION for the Science Museum Exhibit Collaborative (SMEC). Opening in February 1994, SCIENCE of FASHION will tour eight major U.S cities over thirty-two months, introducing 2.5 million people to principles of chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics, and technology that drive the textile industry. SCIENCE of FASHION integrates diverse disciplines and will help public explore science in a wholistic manner. Because the subject matter is somewhat unusual fare, SCIENCE of FASHION will help diversify audiences, drawing in population segments, particularly women, who may not normally visit science museums. SCIENCE of FASHION is an eloquent vehicle for science-rich exhibitry which teaches the mathematics of pattern geometry, production statistics, and retail costs, polymer chemistry for engineering new fabrics, the genetics of new natural colors and strong aware fibers, and the sophisticated research, robotics, and computerized technologies that keep America's textile industry at the top international commerce. Rigorous evaluation will ensure a satisfying product that is educationally-effective, durable, and appealing to a broad public audience. SCIENCE of FASHION will be a worthy addition to the rich menu of science fare in SMEC exhibitry.

夏洛特科学博物馆有限公司将为科学博物馆展览合作组织 (SMEC) 开发一个 5500 平方英尺的关于时尚科学的巡回展览。 SCIENCE of FASHION 于 1994 年 2 月开幕，将在三十二个月内巡演美国八个主要城市，向 250 万人介绍推动纺织工业发展的化学、物理、生物、数学和技术原理。 时尚科学融合了不同的学科，将帮助公众全面探索科学。 由于主题有些不寻常，《时尚科学》将有助于使观众多样化，吸引不同人群，特别是通常不会参观科学博物馆的女性。 《时尚科学》是一个富有说服力的科学展览载体，它教授图案几何数学、生产统计和零售成本、用于设计新织物的聚合物化学、新天然色彩和强感知纤维的遗传学，以及使美国纺织工业保持在国际商业领先地位的复杂研究、机器人技术和计算机化技术。 严格的评估将确保产品令人满意、具有教育效果、持久且对广大公众有吸引力。 时尚科学将成为 SMEC 展览中丰富的科学票价的一个值得补充的内容。
