Fashioning Fabrics features textile artists working closely with fashion designers to create fabrics that travel into startling realms of techno-terror, or wearable fantasy.

Textile designer Jorgen Lehl says, “Anything, anywhere can be a source of inspiration, but it does not come to fruition without the strong wish for new experience.” This is the book’s pivotal theme, with its superb fashion photography showing cutting-edge experimental textiles at their best.

Four sections – embellished, sculpted, imprinted and constructed – feature 43 designers whose work incorporates amazing, beautiful and sometimes outrageous materials.
