Organic Fabric

I decided to pick the theme of organic fabric consisting of silk, cotton, wool, hemp etc., because of its one of kind quality and feel that is seen as luxurious and I myself find it being some of my favorite fabrics to wear and use for my own designs. I want to research organic fabrics luxury and how it came upon first using it, while also investigating the way it has and is being used by designers to put a collection together. Fabric can be manipulated in so many ways but each can do its own extent, these fabrics being “organic” has its attribute of some being way to delicate, that it then can only be handled or used in a certain way. Making it more difficult to be manipulated to recreate the vision that designers once had in mind. It interests me that due to its high quality that comes with a price, that it is then replicated synthetically in order to produce a similar look that can sold at a lower cost and be used more abundantly. This topic is important to a designer because its decision they make if they going to being using these types of fabrics to represent themselves in levels of craftsmanship, design, and quality.
