Critics Review
The swatches are a good assortment and fantastic quality for students to learn . MUNG LAR LAM - ROCKY MOUNTAIN COLLEGE OF ART & DESIGN
Concise, well presented, easy to comprehend. It’s a fabulous book. I am redesigning our curriculum around this book – Katrina Healey * OTIS COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN *The swatches are a good assortment and fantastic quality for students to learn. – MUNG LAR LAM * ROCKY MOUNTAIN COLLEGE OF ART & DESIGN *It is succinct. This book has information that students really need and is presented without too many technical details that can overwhelm the beginner student. The layering of fabrics and lack of color allows students to easily compare structures and fibers. The photos are modern and are fashion forward. – BETH ABARAVICH * OTIS COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN *
