“Textile design fluidly absorbs innovation and transcends cultural boundaries. Conceived as canvases that can be adapted to the human form, textiles express an aesthetic at once personal in nature and cosmopolitan in scope... Given fashion’s insatiable appetite for novel ways to enhance appearance, textiles ... have, throughout history, circulated widely and across vast distances through trade networks.”16 Serge Mouangue
