1. body

2. Context
Textile design has a fundamental connection
with the body. This can be the decoration of
the fabrics that make up our garments, the
fabric we sleep in or the fabric we perform in.

3. Context
Sometimes the use of fabric is functional
therefore less decorative but more concerned
with comfort, protection or performance.

4. Context
Do you want your knee to work?

5. Context
More recently there have been advances in
medical textiles so that the textile can become
part of our body and some garments can be
used to monitor our health.

6. Context
How can you stop Bullets?

7. Context
How can you just look fantastic walking down
the street?

8. Context
Do you want to sweat less and smell better?

9. Context
We don’t all want to look the same - do we?

10. Context
Historical and cultural approaches to
transforming the body show that there is a
long history of modifying our shape to suit
current fashions.

What influences our tastes and choices today?
