Fabric takes readers on a visual journey across the globe, weaving people and fibers together in search of sustainable fashion. With in-depth storytelling and immersive photographs, Fabric highlights the history of clothing from the archaeological discovery of ancient textiles to contemporary designers spearheading the sustainable fashion movement, inspiring us to radically rethink what we wear. Fabric breaks new ground by focusing on the ecological, cultural, and natural history of raw materials with powerfully humanizing portraiture and in-depth storytelling. A defiantly optimistic book, Fabric inspires us to radically rethink what we wear. It envisions a future where we can restore the health of our planet’s ecosystems and celebrate the diversity of human cultures working together toward a thriving post-petroleum world. National Geographic Explorers Tierney Thys and Carroll Dunham invite readers to join them on a wild ride in search of alternative natural plant and animal fibers. Along the way, they introduce contemporary designers inspiring the next generation of makers, from radical fiber revivalists bringing back forgotten crops, to trailblazers artfully repurposing existing materials, to high-tech biofabricators forging a new future in fashion. IMMERSIVE VISUALS: Hand-drawn illustrations of plants and animals accompany intimate photographic portraits from National Geographic photographers. GLOBAL LENS: Fabric takes readers on a visual journey across the globe, from the northern reaches of Alaska, to the steppes of Mongolia, to the tropics of Uganda and Colombia. WRITTEN BY NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORERS: Tierney Thys and Carroll Dunham are both experts in their respective fields and have been recognized by National Geographic as exceptional individuals who protect our world through their work. FIRST OF ITS KIND: Fabric stands alone in its scope and ambition. The authors bring together stories of plant, animal, and bio-fabricated materials to recount where we have been and where we are going. JOIN THE SUSTAINABLE FASHION MOVEMENT: Fabric is a call to action that inspires all to understand where our clothing comes from and how to make conscious choices for a sustainable future.
