Textiles and Fashion

Textiles and Fashion explores the role of textile design in fashion by showing the links with technical innovation and social developments. It then focuses on the processes of textile design, including ethical and sustainable issues, and provides practical information on fibre production, dyeing and finishing techniques. Various surface treatments are explored, as well as the way in which colour and trend influences fashion and textiles. This third edition includes expanded coverage of emerging technologies available for producing fibers, fabrics and finishes in production and additional construction diagrams and embroidery examples.
