Textilepedia is an extensive textile dictionary that covers all essential fabric knowledge, making it the ultimate reference for anyone involved in the fashion industry. Whether you're a seasoned designer or a beginner, this book simplifies the complex world of textiles with a perfect blend of text and imagery. It includes everything from fibers, yarns, woven, knits, non-wovens, laces, leathers and furs, finishing, and more. Textilepedia helps you navigate through different types of materials, understand finishing options, and make informed decisions about fabric selection.
Textilepedia is designed to be the go-to resource for all aspects of fabric selection. It provides comprehensive information on fabrics, understanding varying textures from rough to soft, and evaluating breathability and drape. E.g. the book explains why fabrics have different widths, what makes a fiber or fabric elastic, which fabrics are best for printing, and the sustainability of natural fibers. Packed with essential information about textiles, Textilepedia benefits a wide range of roles within the fashion industry, from designers to product developers.
Delivering comprehensive knowledge about textile applications right to your fingertips, Textilepedia covers everything from choosing fibers and the formation of yarns to the characteristics of common fabrics and the effects of textile finishing. Essentially, it's an all-in-one textile information hub that can be carried wherever you go.
Understanding textiles can be challenging, even for experienced designers who work with fabrics daily. That's why Textilepedia is presented in a highly visual and easy-to-understand format. The book is filled with clear and attractive images, illustrations, diagrams, and icons that make the information easy to read, understand, and remember.
Practicality is a core focus of Textilepedia, with information presented in a straightforward and digestible manner. Lengthy theories are replaced with concise, essential information that can be quickly applied in real-world scenarios, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness as a designer.
Fashion design is a harmonious blend of imagination, fabrication, and execution. A strong understanding of textiles is crucial for ensuring the functional base of any design. The deeper the knowledge of textiles, the more creativity can be pushed to its boundaries. Textilepedia provides that foundational knowledge, giving a head start in understanding textiles and an edge in a fashion career.
