Philippe Fatin is a traveler, photographer and collector who has
established a world-class collection of tribal textiles from
southern China. These exquisitely colorful, hand-woven textiles are
highly prized by collectors and here for the first time is the most
extensive collection of garments collected from tribes across
southern China including the Bazhai, Zhouxi, Xijiang and Gedong
amongst others. The distinctive styles, colors and motifs from each
are looked at in turn and the remarkable photographs allow the
reader to appreciate the intricacy of each piece and the tradition
prized by each tribe. Profusely illustrated with over 320 color
illustrations the book not only studies the designs themselves but
shows the ceremonies the textiles are made for, the traditional
weaving methods employed as well other ornamentations such as
headpieces and fastenings as well dying techniques and working
methods.
