Fashion: Essential Fabrics















Gentle Reader -

After the flurry of Spring/Summer 2012 collections, one thing seemed to stand out:

- those who know how to work with fabrics, and those who are not yet masters

Consider that Cristobal Balenciaga's most famous silhouettes were made with gazar; Yves Saint Laurent's smokings (the evening pantsuit) would not be the same without wool grain de poudre. Do we have to mention Coco Chanel and wool jersey?

Choosing a preferred material to work with may perhaps yield better design than the many options that designers use (or are forced to use) in today's fashion.
