Accessories Seminar: Fitness for Purpose

For thousands of years natural fibres have been used for decoration and embellishment.  Technology exploded in 1895 with the commercial production of viscose, 1896 for the invention of the first synthetic dye - Mauvene or Perkins Mauve (an accident but a happy one) and in the 20^th century the rise in an ever more fashion conscious youth has driven the need to accessorise.

 

This seminar will address your interest in the construction of fabrics and understanding the design, care, preservation and merchandising of these articles in relationship to their properties. Instruction will provide an understanding of structure, characteristics and proper handling of a wide range of materials, enabling you to effectively utilize them in the accessories industry.  The interpretation of test reports for textile testing will also be covered.

 

Delegates are encouraged to bring along their own samples for open discussion.

 

This seminar is especially suited to designers, buyers and textile technologists.
