About this book
Discover the fundamentals of selecting and testing textiles in the apparel industry. Covering 80+ fibres and fabrics, Angela Davies explains how designers, technologists and buyers can effectively test and choose the most suitable textiles for their products.
How do you ensure your winter gear will protect you from the cold and wet? Can you be sure a 'little black dress' won't look a little grey after two months? What fabric will endure playground tumbles, be soft on delicate skin, and still be affordable? Situating textile choice and testing within the wider industry, Textile Product Performance covers:
- testing methods to assess durability, aesthetics, comfort, health and safety for common materials and products
- standard requirements and common international regulations
- helpful overviews of advanced textiles and testing methods, from sustainable textiles to medical materials.
This practical guide also features 10 in-depth case studies with industry professionals including colouration experts, interior designers, and technologists from fashion brands like New Balance and River Island.
Whether you're a student, designer, or industry professional, Textile Product Performance is the essential resource to help you understand the fundamentals of textile selection and testing and apply these principles with confidence in your work.
