The book that covers everything you ever wanted to know about innovative fabrics...... textiles that enhance performance and physical comfort (from energy-stimulating magnets to multilayered garment system), ... how do washing balls clean garments and microfibers wipes work, or shower-cleaning suits and noiron shirts, ... the secrets of fabrics that protect from everyday nuisances (bacteria, electromagnetic radiation, UV, mosquitoes, wrinkles...),... the reality behind many so-called eco-textiles (from fibers to garments), ... the promises of textiles to come: Part science, part fiction (from electro-textiles and seamless sprayon clothing to the dream of self-cleaning clothing...), and many others mysteries deciphered and explained by the authors Sophie Bramel and Patricia Poiré, and illustrated by the perky and playful drawings of fashion designer Corinne Delemazure.
