From Fibre to Fabric by Chris Halsey
With a foreword by Tricia Guild this is a comprehensive sourcebook with elegant sumptuous images. It examines the variety of fibres available, their origins and unique characteristics; reveals how fibres become fabrics by spinning, weaving and printing; and finally explains how fabrics are used for curtains, upholstery, cushions and trimmings.
Chris Halsey has spent over 40 years working with fabric and textiles, developing product ranges for Heals, Habitat, The Conran Shop and most notably Designer’s Guild where he worked closely with Tricia Guild developing her eponymous ranges. Wilhelmine van Aerssen is an interior design agent for world famous brands including Designer’s Guild, Ralph Lauren, Nina Campbell and Nobilis. Concern for the lack of technical knowledge in traditional and modern fabric production, both in terms of textile training and information available (you will not find anything on the internet) was the motivation for writing the book.
