Fabric of the 1970s was as distinct as the clothing into which it
was made. Bold colors and patterns that dominated fabric design
ranged from flamboyant to garish. Dizzying complementary color and
pattern combinations, called psychedelic, were adapted from sources
as diverse as non-Western folk art and Western technology. The
fibers of the 1970s were made of materials in two general groups:
the naturals and the synthetics. This book concentrates on the
natural materials and presents a visual sampling of silk, cotton,
flax, and wool. The prints include solids, stripes, plaids,
geometrics, florals, paisleys, and much more to offer a pictorial
reference for future designs while providing a visual record of the
fashions and fabric trends that shaped the decade. This book is a
delight for historians, designers, and all with an eye for fashion,
fabrics, and fun. A glossary, index, bibliography, and informative
captions included.
