This is followed by the ‘Feature’ section, which carries stories on the rich and timeless textiles of India; an elaborate body of arguments and counter-arguments on the fame and usage of fur; the intriguing world of blended textiles; and how sustainability is increasingly being employed in textile- and apparel-dyeing processes; and the applications of Pantone’s 2020 Colour of the Year Classic Blue in apparel.
