Textiles and Fashion : From Fabric Construction to Surface Treatments

Textiles and Fashion explores the integration of textile design with fashion. It begins with a brief history of textiles, showing the links with technical innovation and social developments. You'll then learn about the processes of textile design, including the ethical and sustainable issues around textiles, before moving on to practical information on fibre production, dyeing and finishing techniques. Various surface treatments are explored, as well as the way in which colour and trend influences fashion and textiles.
