The Fashion Designer's Textile Directory by Gail Baugh (Paperback, 2018).

An easy-to-use guide to the properties, peculiarities and potential of fabrics.

·         Shows you how to transform your vision into a final design through the appropriate use of fabric.

·         Organised by function: do you want a fabric for structure, drape, added volume, definition or decoration? Do you want something that clings to the figure, or allows you to construct a whole new silhouette? Do you want a finish that is pretty – or lustrous and magnificent?

·         Learn to speak the language of fashion and textile design and communicate your vision in industry appropriate textile vocabulary.

·         This revised edition includes wonderful new images and an updated chapter on Responsible Design, which is a call to empower fashion industry designers to make positive changes.
