Product Description
"The gorgeous photography of innovative surfaces and structures will inspire fiber artists, even those who are drawn to low-tech process."—Fiberarts
This up-to-date book highlights advanced textiles in production and available to the designer, artist, architect, and consumer today. It explores the exciting confluence of art, design, and technology: new textiles that shrink or expand to fit; fabrics developed from carbon, steel, glass, and ceramics; materials that protect the wearer from environmental extremes on earth and in space.
Featuring a wide selection of textiles at the cutting edge of technology, the book covers the field in three main sections:
• Innovations: how the newest textiles are imagined and produced.
• Applications: from fashion and design to architecture and art.
• Reference: including a glossary, biographies, a bibliography, and directories of addresses and public collections. 300+ color illustrations and photographs.

 An exciting pick for any designer or artist working in fabrics May 22, 2006
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
TECHNO TEXTILES: REVOLUTIONARY FABRICS FOR FASHION AND DESIGN will prove an exciting pick for any designer or artist working in fabrics. Here are features of new textiles developed from carbon, steel and even glass: materials which protect wearers from the environment or offer new versatility traditional fabrics can't match. Accompanying color photos of fabrics in use are discussions of changing trends in fabric construction, design and style - an outstanding display of images in a top-rated title juxtaposing art and functional style. Very highly recommended.

This book was not at all what was expected...
It almost has no purpose.
