Techstyle Supporter Opportunities - Texas Tech University

The program built five tiers of support, and each one buys a different level of access to the runway event. A Title Supporter pays $10,000 for 10 reserved seats and the honor of presenting the top student award. An Icon Supporter gives $5,000 for eight reserved seats and a spot as an industry critique judge, sitting in on the evaluation of student designs. Couture, Designer and Runway supporters step down from there, from $2,500 to $500, trading judging roles for general admission tickets and early seating access.

The money goes straight to covering fashion show expenses for Apparel Design & Manufacturing students, the ones building and presenting their own collections. For Lubbock's fashion and retail crowd, it's a rare chance to sit close to the runway and actually shape which student wins recognition.

For students, sponsor dollars mean a bigger, better-funded show to launch a portfolio and a career. Local businesses get a direct line into Texas Tech's design pipeline, with judging seats and naming rights attached to a five-figure price tag.

Ten grand gets you a front-row seat and the power to crown Best in Show. Five hundred just gets you in the door.
