FASHION FABRICS [4 VIDEOS BELOW]: a whole language of their own.
When we look at fabrics, we ask ourselves:
How do we describe texture, weight, drape, quality, content of a fabric?
Are there key words that we can use to communicate about this fabric?
How do we recognize the kind of fashion fabric we ARE LOOKING AT?
Can we identify and discuss the fabrics in our hands?
Can we analyze its functionality when we see and touch it?
Can we asses its price range, washability, seasonality?
What can we understand about this fashion fabric’s sustainability?
Where does it come from? Where will it go? How is it produced? What special care will making clothing from it require?
IS IT KNIT or WOVEN? Is it printed or yarn dyed pattern? Is it difficult to sew?
Depending on what you are doing with fashion fabrics, a professional is going to have some fluency in this area.
