Textiles Today

This survey of contemporary textiles from around the world reveals a field that is very diverse, exciting and provocative. Extraordinary technological developments, from colour-changing, light-sensitive camouflage to emergency shelters of cement-impregnated fabric bonded to inflatable plastic, are included alongside the simply beautiful, such as Eley Kishimoto's patterns, or the astonishing colours of Morphotex, a fibre that produces changes in colour from blue to purple, red and green.
