Libros de Industrias textiles

La industria textil sedera de Toledo fue la más importante de toda la submeseta sur castellana durante la Edad Moderna y, hasta mediados del siglo XVII, la de mayor significación y alcance de España. Esa laboriosidad, unida a otras de menor entidad, daba a la ciudad el caracter de inmensa colmena que latia al ritmo de los miles de telares esparcidos por sus tortuosas y estrechas callejuelas. El siglo XVII y la primera mitad del XVIII fueron de postracion y ruina. Hacia la mitad de esta ultima centuria recibio un empuje con la creacion de la Real Compañia de Comercio y Fabricas que la volvio a situar en un lugar preeminente; pero solo fue un espejismo, pues a finales de la misma torno a decaer, y a partir del siglo XIX esa continua tarea, esa inmensa actividad, ese ritmico son diligente se convirtio en profundo silencio. De todo ese quehacer solo quedan algunas de sus maravillosas creaciones en las vitrinas del tesoro de la catedral y del convento de San Clemente.

Textiles owe their development to religion, commerce, exchange and travel, and their vibrant and creative preservation to tenacious regionalism. Artists and designers from India, Mali, Madagascar, Morocco, Burkina Faso and Nigeria have reinvigorated art and fashion by using the fabrics and graphic elements they find on the streets of London, Paris and New York and other cities. Extraordinary technological developments, from colour-changing, light-sensitive camouflage to emergency shelters of cement-impregnated fabric bonded to an inflatable plastic, are included here alongside the simply beautiful, such as Eley Kishimoto's patterns that point to the historical exchange of ideas between the East and the West, or the astonishing colour transmutations of Morphotex. A former design consultant, Chloë Colchester received a doctorate in anthropology for her research into Fijian barkcloth and was a research associate at University College London where she studied contemporary transformations of Polynesian cloth traditions.
