Textile Designers at the Cutting Edge showcases a selection of textile designs from all over the world, presented in feature interviews with the world's most visionary young designers.

Chosen for their contributions to fashion textiles and interior fabrics, the designers describe their output and inspirations in their own words. Whether speaking from style capitals, such as London, Paris, Milan, Madrid, Berlin, Tokyo, and New York, or in less-trafficked cities, today's most forward-thinking textile designers showcase exciting work that signals new directions in textile practice and the emergence of new textile forms and fiber technologies.

The book not only features images of completed designs, but also previously unseen archive material, such as work-in-progress photographs and digital drawings. These unique visuals create a stylish picture of today's textiles, as well as an essential reference guide for those interested in contemporary textile design.

A must for the shelf.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 July 2014

I bought this compendium for my textile mad daughter and I love it! It's exciting and full of excellent information. You will not get patterns per se but you will get lots of useful information. The variation on the different types of designers and their form of textile and use of the woven fabric is brilliant. A must for the A Level newbie to textiles.

AMAZING

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2010

This book contains so many images of just about everything textile related. The book is mainly based on fashion but there are also areas of print, knit and weave as well as spatial installations. There is some beautiful creations by Hsiao-Chi Tsai and awe inspiring embellishments by Sebastien Barilleau along with well known designers like Timorous Beasties and Florence Manlik. The book gives a real insight into modern textile innovations and is an explosion of colour and pattern all tied up in a lovely pink bow. I brought this book for my university studies but it could easily be used as a coffee table book or for someone who just loves beautiful things. BUY THIS BOOK.

Wonderfully inspiring!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 April 2009

I love this book! The stunning cover is just the start; detailed information about the artists and designers is well supported by close-up photos and enough visual information to get inside the artists' heads and understand their techniques. Well worth buying.

A visually stunning book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2010

This book gives an excellent overview of some of the leading designers in this field, with just enough background information, how they developed their style etc and with stunning illustrations. It is beautifully presented and a real source of inspiration to anyone with an interest in the subject.
