"UNIQUE IN SCOPE AND PRESENTATION"

 
 

Clothing Technology
...from fibre to fashion
5th ed 2008
304 pages, numerous colour illustrations, hardcover
€ 39,80  (freight will be charged additionally)

Adapted translation of the 9th ed 2007 of  “Fachwissen Bekleidung”

 
 

CLOTHING TECHNOLOGY is a vocational book, directed primarily at students of the clothing industry: sewing, cutting, garment assembly, men’s and women’s tailoring. It will also be found useful in courses for supervisors and technicians, and as a general reference work.

A key feature of the book is its concise and compact design – a prerequisite for summarising such a wide range of material in a single volume. Each page is complete in itself. Particular emphasis has been laid on providing a simple layout and straightforward language, which students will find easy to grasp. Numerous colour diagrams are an effective aid to the comprehension of some of the more difficult topics.

In this English version an attempt has been made to present a more international perspective. Wherever possible, ISO standards have been referenced.
 
At all stages, account is taken of the latest scientific findings and the practical experience of the industry.
