In the wide field of design, the designing of textiles is regarded as a special discipline. It requires a deeper understanding of the technical side of the production of textiles as well as a specific knowledge of each fabric, of its uses, its properties and characteristics (dyes, fibres, and colourings). “New Textile Design” covers the many and various forms of the discipline. It includes clothing, caps, shoes, scarves, bags and appliques, bedclothes, upholstery and lampshades. Even textile trinkets and other accessories are featured on the following pages. The collected designs range from central motifs (on t-shorts, for instance) to patterns which often have to compete with the visible structures of the fabric.
