Smashing Support: For The Love of Textiles

As the slow cloth/fashion movement grows alongside the development of even higher-tech fabrics, textiles will become even more enmeshed in our daily lives.

We stumbled upon this post from Sarah Scaturro in response to a video interview (below) where trend forecaster Lidewij Edelkoort entertains the notion of textile extinction. Can you even imagine a world without textiles? If you can, pleasestop. We may have a itty-bitty darling tantrum, and you dont want to see that. (Please dont make TrishDarling cry) We just cant believe that textiles are going extinct; we have to believe textiles are in a state of transformation, a re-birth if you will. We hope you will *believe right along with us. For magical inspiration, lets go full circle back to the initiative curated by Lidewij Edelkoort: Talking Textiles.
