A textile is described as a material made of interlacing fibers. There are a variety of different uses for textiles that include rugs, crocheting and cloth production.
The functionality of a textile can vary drastically because it is such a versatile material.
The Kimono - as described in my previous blog is a traditional Chinese garment that is worn for variety of occasions. I have chosen to relate it into the theme of textiles. Textiles have a variety of uses that relate to the Kimono. For starters, well, the kimono is technically a textile. It is made of fabric, which fits the textile definition. The kimono has practical uses, like every day attire, as well as decorative purposes. Textiles like rugs, tapestries and coverings can be made of different fibers and patterns that relate to the functionality and occasion, not unlike the kimono. Kimono uses range from casual to extremely formal dress wear, often depending on the fabric used and how it was sewn.
Both the kimono and the theme of textiles are quite similar in the fact that they play a huge role in the aesthetics of whatever the purpose is for.
