Textiles Traditions and Transitions
PRESENTATION: Textile Traditions & Transitions: Evolution of the Clothing Industry During the 18th and 19th Centuries
For much of human history textiles were produced slowly in the home or small workshops with very little change in how cloth was produced. The desire to speed up and simplify the production of textiles was the driving force behind the industrial revolution. The 18th and 19th centuries were the golden age of textile innovation and invention from things as major as the sewing machine to something as simple as a tape measure. Learn more about this fascinating era from fashion historian Maggie Koenig.
