Fabric for Fashion

Fabric for Fashion: The Complete Guide is the only book specifically for fashion designers to explain the behavior, properties and sustainability of different fabrics. Fashion design is largely determined by how fabrics work, move, feel and look. The most successful fashion designers are those who understand their materials, who match design skill with technical knowledge. They also need to understand the ethical and environmental impacts of their fabric choices. This new edition covers both natural and manmade fibers and the latest innovations in the fields of smart textiles and biofabricated materials.
