<strong>Textile</strong> Trends with<br />
Valdese Weavers<br />
In industry, textile companies<br />
look to designers or stylists to see,<br />
understand, and capture current<br />
and future trends in color and<br />
pattern. A designer must guide<br />
a company to use its capabilities<br />
fully in producing new, different,<br />
and timely fab¬rics.<br />
The textile industry is an immense global market<br />
that affects every country in the world either directly<br />
or indirectly. The textile industry is varied, which<br />
means that many countries choose their own path<br />
and direction to follow, whether that is medical textiles or<br />
high fashion. However, there are a few trends that seem to<br />
be the new direction for most of the textile market.<br />
In the manufacture of fabrics, as in any other discipline<br />
of design, maintaining and even surpassing high aesthetic<br />
stan¬dards are a designer’s primary goals. Proportion, balance,<br />
and texture are attained through expert draftsmanship.<br />
Tasteful and innovative use of color is an innate ability<br />
developed through study and practice.<br />
