by  Anna Jackson

Why we have selected this book:

The Pattern book series gives an insight into the Victoria and Albert Museum’s impressive collection of fabrics and textiles. This small, beautifully bound book is dedicated to kimono fabrics. As we know, it is not the ever-changing silhouette that plays a key role in kimono, but the surface of the fabric with its patterns and texture. Stunning craftsmanship and ingenuity of the weavers combined with the refined Japanese aesthetic – nuanced, subtle beauty!

Description

Book Overview from the Publisher:

Each V&A Pattern book is an introduction to the Victoria and Albert Museum’s extraordinarily diverse design archives. The museum has more than three million designs for textiles, decorations, wallpapers and prints; some well-known, others less so. This series explores pattern-making in all its forms, across the world and through the centuries. The books are intended to be both beautiful and useful – showing patterns to enjoy in their own right and as inspiration for new design.
