Book Description
The predictions of style gurus and top international designers are given form in this study of the way new technology in fabrics and fashion is bringing together art, design, engineering and science. This book is a source for those professionals in design, fashion, art and architecture, but its results on the effects textiles are having on our lifestyles will also appeal to a much wider audience.

Techno-riffic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Techno Textiles (Paperback)
This book was a well thought out and planned introduction to the world of technical/synthetic fabrics. The definitions, classifications, and examples of usage make for an interesting read. Equally exciting are the chapters on engineering, synthetics, and coatings. The designs and photos are avant-garde with references to the top designers who of course are the first to try new things. It is well organized and easy to use as a reference manual. Techno would be well situated on the bookshelf of every cutting-edge design and production team. However, based on my 15 years of experience in the fashion-forward streetwear scene, I would have expected to find listed the company Decopap Inc of Montreal Canada, which has been the leading source of Vinyl coated fabrics to the streetwear, fetish, and techno crowd for the last 30 years. This one omission aside, the book is truly a valuable source for the textile industry.
