Costume designers create as well as collaborate.This book deftly illustrates how fashion has propelled technology since the beginning of humankind. The impact of clothing, dyes & fibers are often vastly under estimated. Understanding design/making/ history of clothing requires the comprehension of multiple disciplines & willingness to TRY. Understanding the history will, hopefully, feed the ability to marry traditional skills with an openness to incorporate new technologies, thus enhancing both.
