Within
a
concentrated
time
scale
of
just
over
200
years
a
remarkable
diversity
of
thinking
and
creativity
has
evolved
in
textile
design.
While
this
is
certainly
the
result
of
developments
such
as
the
technological
innovations
of
the
Industrial
Revolution,
the
invention
of
synthetic
fabrics
in
the
twentieth
century
and,
most
recently,
the
digital
revolution,
the
inspiration
that
fueled
this
evolution—and
continues
to
inspire
modern
textile
designers—is
firmly
rooted
in
the
remarkable
variety
of
imagery,
design
styles,
patterns,
and
techniques
that
has
been
created
over
the
past
4000
years.
This
chapter
looks
at
the
historical
and
cultural
contexts
in
which
textile
design
has
evolved,
and
provides
insights
into
the
creative
and
technical
capabilities
of
its
early
craftsmen,
as
well
as
highlighting
the
work
of
key
twentieth-century
designers.
It
also
describes
the
complex
trade
relationships
that
have
existed
and,
in
some
cases,
continue
to
exist
in
the
field
of
textiles,
and
discusses
the
environmental
and
ethical
challenges
that
textile
designers
face
in
the
twenty-first
century.
This
opulent
Sunni
textile
is
an
example
of
a
complex
geometric
pattern
based
on
mathematics,
an
art
form
for
which
the
Islamic
world
is
renowned.
