Choosing Fabric: Guidance from the Garment District

THE FIRST COLOR WHEEL OF FABRICS - More than 90 of the most common fabrics and 25 fibers found in a typical New York City fabric store are organized into cross-compatible spectrums of movement and weight, making it easier than ever to browse the diversity of the Garment District wherever you are.

Curated fabrics for every project include atypical options as well as a generous range of classic textiles. An introduction to fabric in the first pages also creates a shared vocabulary around fabric, fiber and stretch essential for buying and using fabric.

If you've ever been intimidated or overwhelmed in a fabric store, or searching for fabric online; if you love fashion and fabric but don't have time to go to fashion school; if you're serious about interior design and want to take your upholstery and soft interior fabrics to the next level: this is the reference tool for you.
