This is one of my all time favourite books. It is worth the money for the pictures alone but the information is really useful. It is great for a fashion and textiles designer or student. I love to just flick through the pages and look at all the beautiful images - it makes me want to get creative and is very inspirational! I would absolutely recommend buying this book to anyone interested in fashion and/or textiles! A+++++

`Fashioning Fabrics' features textile artists working closely with fashion designers to create fabrics that travel into startling realms of techno-terror, or wearable fantasy.
Textile designer Jorgen Lehl says, "Anything, anywhere can be a source of inspiration, but it does not come to fruition without the strong wish for new experience." This is the book's pivotal theme, with its superb fashion photography showing cutting-edge experimental textiles at their best.
Four sections - embellished, sculpted, imprinted, constructed - feature 43 designers whose work incorporates amazing, beautiful and sometimes outrageous materials, and the text is packed with a rich amalgam of knowledge, both ephemeral and apocalyptic.
