Textiles and fashion are profoundly inter linked, and remain chained together by a series of interlocking processes, and an understanding of the elements that make up this interrelationship is explored through the individual chapters in Textiles and Fashion.
The Oxford dictionary defines ‘Fashion as a currently popular style of clothing, or behaviour, etc., or the production and marketing of new styles of clothing and cosmetics’, it defines textiles as ‘a type of cloth or woven fabric or relating to fabric or weaving’.
This book provides a platform for an integrated study experience and researching additional information. Its aim is to provide a framework and platform from which to engage with a more holistic overview of the industry of textiles and fashion. This book seeks therefore to capture some of the diversity in textiles and fashion through the documentation of both the aesthetic and technical considerations that this topic entails, with the scope and the shape of each chapter shaped by the specialists that have contributed to the book.
