Fabrics can represent an era. The decade of the 1960s
was one of extremes. Traditional plaids were reintroduced and became popular
at the same time as bold prints and geometrics, notably Op Art and "psychedelic"
patterns and colors, characterized the decade. Synthetics took off, and
phrases like "polyester knit" and "stretch knit" elicit visions of unmistakably
'60s staples.The best way to experience the fabric of a decade is to see
it, and this book is entirely dedicated to the sensory, the visual. Nearly
600 close-up color photographs.
The wide range of sixties fabric designs reflected the transition from the comforting tranquility of the early years to the bolder, more "hip" end of the decade. Funky Fabrics of the 60s takes you on a nostalgic tour of pastel and splashy florals, patchwork calicos, denims and stripes, wild abstract geometrics, and neon paisleys. |
