My last few posts on natural fibers, petroleum-based manufactured fibers, and cellulosic manufactured fibers went into a lot of technical detail on the building blocks of the fabrics we use for sewing. This month, I want to talk about the properties of some of my favorite fabrics themselves. If you remember what I discussed at the fiber level, you should start seeing how the fibers, when assembled into fabrics, bring their properties to the materials we use for sewing.
In the years since, the contemporary art market has only gotten hotter. And with this year’s confluence of biennials (notably Venice) and festivals like Art Basel, the influence of art on culture, writ large, seems at last to have reached critical mass. Fashion has taken note: Last season, Rachel Comey worked with gallerist Mirabelle Marden on a capsule collection; next season, perennial art provocateur Damien Hirst will debut his collaboration with Levi’s, for its Warhol Factory X label.
I made sure to choose fabrics that had a bit of stretch woven into the fabric, since I cut my pants a little down in size (I wanted a tighter fit).
