Knowledge about materials and processes helps designers to create textiles and products that can be manufactured effectively, sometimes thousands of miles from their studio, as well as inspiring entirely new approaches to design. This fundamental new resource explores established, traditional, emerging and innovative techniques and materials used in textile and fashion design. This fundamental new resource explores established, traditional, emerging and innovative production techniques and materials used in textile and fashion design. Organized into four main parts - Fibre and Yarn Technology, Textile Technology, Construction Technology, and Materials - parts one to three explain over 70 major processes in detail, each featuring a technical description, an analysis of the applications, design opportunities and considerations, quality, cost, speed and environmental impact. All of the processes feature detailed step-by-step case studies showing the process ‘in manufacture’ at a leading international supplier. Part four features essential knowledge on over 60 natural and man-made materials.
