The fabrics here are African designs, made primarily in Africa,
commercially, rather than by traditional methods. Most are
contemporary, made of cotton; though varieties of rayon, wool, a
blend, or synthetic also are present, as well as fabric with
metallic thread or surface embellishment. Many examples are printed
adaptations of traditional woven textiles, because the pattern and
color and their effect are the essential qualities. This volume,
arranged visually with a focus on design, color, and pattern, is a
pictorial survey, which includes examples of simple, bold two and
three-color designs, stripes, grid formats, and overall geometric
patterns. The pictures serve as reference and inspiration to
artists, designers, and all involved with fashion and fabric. The
companion volume, African Prints, complements the designs featured
in this book.
