Book Description

23 Feb 2009 1856695816 978-1856695817
Textile Designers at the Cutting Edge showcases a selection of textile designs from all over the world, presented in feature interviews with the world's most visionary young designers.

Chosen for their contributions to fashion textiles and interior fabrics, the designers describe their output and inspirations in their own words. Whether speaking from style capitals, such as London, Paris, Milan, Madrid, Berlin, Tokyo, and New York, or in less-trafficked cities, today's most forward-thinking textile designers showcase exciting work that signals new directions in textile practice and the emergence of new textile forms and fiber technologies.

The book not only features images of completed designs, but also previously unseen archive material, such as work-in-progress photographs and digital drawings. These unique visuals create a stylish picture of today's textiles, as well as an essential reference guide for those interested in contemporary textile design.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING 20 Jan 2010
By Faye
Format:Paperback
This book contains so many images of just about everything textile related. The book is mainly based on fashion but there are also areas of print, knit and weave as well as spatial installations. There is some beautiful creations by Hsiao-Chi Tsai and awe inspiring embellishments by Sebastien Barilleau along with well known designers like Timorous Beasties and Florence Manlik. The book gives a real insight into modern textile innovations and is an explosion of colour and pattern all tied up in a lovely pink bow. I brought this book for my university studies but it could easily be used as a coffee table book or for someone who just loves beautiful things. BUY THIS BOOK.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully inspiring! 28 April 2009
By Susie G
Format:Paperback
I love this book! The stunning cover is just the start; detailed information about the artists and designers is well supported by close-up photos and enough visual information to get inside the artists' heads and understand their techniques. Well worth buying.
