Textiles Now - Cole Drusilla

. .

Résumé :
This beautiful book celebrates contemporary textile design from around the world. Focusing on fabric and fibre designs from the past five years that have been created for use in decorative art, fashion and interior design, it is an indispensable reference for anyone with a passion for textiles. Includes more than 400 exquisite designs from over 100 textile and fibre artists, and features newly graduated students as well as established artists. Never before has such a broad range of textile designs been brought together in one book - from hand-painted and digitally printed patterns to embellished, hand - or machine-embroidered pieces and dyed, felted or pleated three-dimensional forms. Hundreds of photographs show the textiles in detail, illustrating their end use in context where appropriate, accompanied by comments by the author or contributing artists as to their inspirations, techniques or use of materials, enabling a deeper critical understanding and appreciation of the medium. Organized into sections embracing constructed textiles, dyed, painted and printed textiles, and stitched and mixed-media textiles, this is a treasure trove of inspirational images as well as a showcase of some of today's most exciting and innovative textile designs.
