CHOICE Review

Baugh (San Francisco State Univ.; Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising) offers an excellent reference source for fashion designers and fashion students. The book's discussion of responsible design and fabric production provides the foundation for detailed descriptions of over 120 fabrics and fabric manipulations. For ease of use, the book is organized into five fabric categories based on weight and desired use in design: structure, fluidity, ornamentation, expansion, and compression. Each entry includes a description of a textile's qualities; is richly illustrated with detailed, full-color photographs of fabric samples; and includes information about the textile's use in garments. The author addresses ecological or social concerns about the textiles, including both natural and synthetic fibers. Also included are definitions of key terms in the textile industry. Readers interested in a brief summary of the fabric information will appreciate the color-coded charts, featured throughout the book, that highlight important fiber characteristics and facilitate easy movement between the detailed entries and the summary of fabric qualities and construction methods. This directory will be a valuable addition for university and college libraries supporting fashion and textiles programs, as well as industry professionals. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Two-year technical program students; lower-level undergraduates through professionals/practitioners. C. B. Cannon Savannah College of Art and Design
