Description

Textiles and Fashion explores the integration of
textile design with fashion, showing the many
ways designers use fibre, fabric construction and
surface treatments within a garment and on the
body. It begins with a brief history of textiles in
fashion, showing the links with technical innovation
and social developments. You'll then briefly learn
about the processes of textile design, including
ethical and environmental considerations, as
well as fibre production, dyeing and finishin
techniques, before moving on to making the most of
different surface treatments and the ways in which
colour and trend influence fashion and textiles.
This 3rd edition includes updated coverage of
emerging technologies, including smart textiles
and 3D printing, and interviews with fashion
designers to offer insight into how they use textiles
in their work. Overall, this is the ideal introduction
to using textiles within a fashion context.
