Textures

: - Also refers to the appearance of the fabric;
texture means the hand i.e., the way fabric feels The designer
develops this vogue (knowledge, trend), awareness of how
fabric feels, i.e., the ‘Tactile Sense’ (the knowledge of how to feel
the fabric) into a conscious knowledge of the appropriate
texture for specific garments, e.g., a designer uses his tactile sense
to study the elevations of fabric just as a potter experiences the
basic stone or clay with his hand and eyes. The design student
should begin to develop a tactile sense by sourcing and draping
fabrics. Look at the fabric and feel its texture, experiments with
fabrics should be done to see how they cover they body and fall
on it.
