📖 The Scoop
Nylon, the wonder fabric, debuted at the 1939 N.Y. World's Fair and created a sensation. Later, Europeans and Americans greeted synthetic fabrics so quickly that they brought about a "fashion revolution." The book discusses the role of technology in modern life, the changing nature of popular taste, the fortunes of the late-20th-century garment industry, and the design of innovations and artistry that synthetics permit, even encourage. Tells the stories about companies like DuPont and its competitors and imitators. Introduces readers to the world of clothing design and manufacture, tracing the development of fabrics from the semi-synthetic "Art Silk" early in the century to polyester, Lycra, and the newest technological fibers and weaves.
