Product Description

Book Description

This excitingly illustrated book describes the new fabrics (including those made of metal, glass or ceramic yarns) developed for specialist sportswear - and how these are now being eagerly taken up by fashion. Packed with information, textual and visual, this cutting edge survey also includes a detailed glossary of technical terms and a director of designers and manufacturers. No aficionado of either sport or fashion will be able to resist it; all design professionals will find it essential reading.
