Textiles Today

Product Description

Textiles design lies at the heart of creativity today. Designers all over the world, with their multifarious achievements, provide the stage for one of the most and least localized of the arts: textiles owe their development to religion, commerce, exchange and travel, and their vibrant and creative preservation to tenacious regionalism. In the recent past artists and designers from different ethnic backgrounds - India, Mali, Madagascar, Morocco, Burkina Faso, Nigeria - have reinvigorated art and fashion by using the fabrics and graphic elements they find on the streets of Paris, London and other cities to project an alternative, synoptic vision of textile culture on the international stage.
