Fashion design is largely determined by how the fabrics work, move, feel, and look. The most successful fashion designers are those who understand their materials, who match design skill with technical knowledge. This book bridges that gap by providing a mix of practical information and industry vocabulary, visually examining generic fabric types, discussing the characteristics of fabrics, and showing how to exploit materials to push the boundaries of design. With stunning colour photographs that show how fashion designers, both past and present, have worked with fabrics, the book?s prime objective is to stimulate creative exploration of the relationship of fabrics to fashion. 606 $aTextile fabrics 606 $aFashion design 606 $aDressmaking materials 606 $aTextile industry 606 $aTextile fibers 615 0$aTextile fabrics. 615 0$aFashion design. 615 0$aDressmaking materials. 615 0$aTextile industry. 615 0$aTextile fibers. 676 $a746.92 700 $aHallett$b Clive$01269428 701 $aJohnston$b Amanda$01269429 701 $aBaum$b Myka$01649476 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825040503321 996 $aFabric for fashion$93998243 997 $aUNINA
