Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Pieced together much like the fine garment it portrays, this colourful volume guides the reader on an international textile tour, presenting in over 700 glorious photographs a raft of remarkable clothing, people and fabrics from all over the world.

Both an ethnographic textile map and a fabric-inspired travelogue, it explores and reveals many secrets about international textile crafts, including weaving, dyeing and applique.
All designers as well as anyone who loves fashion will find this volume a huge source of inspiration, as will fans of off-the-beaten-track travel destinations.
