Fashion Textile Design
The term 'fashion' usually applies to a prevailing mode of expression, but quite
often applies to a personal mode of expression that may or may not apply to all.
Inherent in the term is the idea that the mode will change more quickly than the
culture as a whole. The terms "fashionable" and "unfashionable" are employed to
describe whether someone or something fits in with the current popular mode of
expression. The term "fashion" is frequently used in a positive sense, as a
synonym for glamour and style. In this sense, fashions are a sort of communal
art, through which a culture examines its notions of beauty and goodness. The
term "fashion" is also sometimes used in a negative sense, as a synonym for
fads, trends, and materialism. Fashions are social psychology phenomena common
to many fields of human activity and thinking.
A textile is a flexible material comprised of a network of natural or artificial
fibers often referred to as thread or yarn. Yarn is produced by spinning raw
wool fibers, linen, cotton, or other material on a spinning wheel to produce
long strands known as yarn. Textiles are formed by weaving, knitting,
crocheting, knotting, or pressing fibers together.
The rises and falls of fashions have been especially documented and examined in
the following fields: Architecture, interior design, and landscape design, Arts
and crafts, Body type, clothing or costume, cosmetics, grooming, and personal
adornment, Dance and music, Forms of address, slang, and other forms of speech,
Economics and spending choices, as studied in behavioral finance, Entertainment,
games, hobbies, sports, and other pastimes, Etiquette, Management, management
styles and ways of organizing Politics and media, especially the topics of
conversation encouraged by the media Philosophy and spirituality (One might
argue that religion is prone to fashions, although official religions tend to
change so slowly that the term cultural shift is perhaps more appropriate than
"fashion") Technology, such as the choice of programming techniques Of these
fields, costume especially has become so linked in the public eye with the term
"fashion". The more general term "costume" has been relegated by many to only
mean fancy dress or masquerade wear, while the term "fashion" means clothing
generally, and the study of it. This linguistic switch is due to the so-called
fashion plates which were produced during the Industrial Revolution, showing
novel ways to use new textiles. For a broad cross-cultural look at clothing and
its place in society, refer to the entries for clothing and costume. The
remainder of this article deals with clothing fashions in the Western world.
The words fabric and cloth are commonly used in textile assembly trades (such as
tailoring and dressmaking) as synonyms for textile. However, there are subtle
differences in these terms. Textile refers to any material made of interlacing
fibres. Fabric refers to any material made through weaving, knitting,
crocheting, or bonding. Cloth refers to a finished piece of fabric that can be
used for a purpose such as covering a bed. Weaving is a textile production
method which involves interlacing a set of vertical threads (called the warp)
with a set of horizontal threads (called the weft). This is done on a machine
known as a loom, of which there are a number of types. Some weaving is still
done by hand, but the vast majority is mechanised. Knitting and crocheting
involve interlacing loops of yarn, which are formed either on a knitting needle
or on a crochet hook, together in a line. The two processes are different in
that knitting has several active loops at one time, on the knitting needle
waiting to interlock with another loop, while crocheting never has more than one
active loop on the needle. Learn Fashion Textile Design, SCHOOLS
