Fabrics are the base for the world of fashion: they determine the way designers conceive their pieces and their creativity. This book is a bridge uniting materials and their creators by visually showing the profound relationship between fabrics and fashion with a wide range of patterns, their history and terminology as well.
Stefanella Sposito lives and works in Milan, where she teaches art history, costume history and textile technology. She is the author of critical essays and numerous articles published in art and fashion magazines such as Filoforme, Jacquard, and Moodmagazine. She organizes seminars and conferences at the international level on fabric techniques and history as well as conducting research projects in these fields. Some of her designs have appeared in such magazines as Vogue Italia.
