This is a photographic celebration of textiles. Textiles in one form or another have played an important part in man's existence for millennia. In this book, National Geographic photographer Cary Wolinsky records the use of fabric - be it wool, cotton, silk or high-tech fibres - around the world, showing how it plays an important role in all facets of life. He presents the epic story of cloth in all its splendour in this lavishly illustrated volume. The introduction is by the well-known clothes designer Issey Miyake. The result is a stunning coffee table look at textiles and their use around the world.
