Abstract Textile Designs (A Schiffer design book)

Historic prints of the abstract genre--from upholstery fabrics and curtains to the wearable art we don daily--is explored through photographs of 300 fabric swatches from couture houses in Italy, France, and the United States. This colorful volume is a must-have for up-and-coming textile and fashion designers ready to take a lesson from their predecessors in the everyday gallery of art.
