Fabric design focuses on the creation and development of textile materials used in garments, furnishings, and other applications. Designers in this field experiment with different fibers, textures, colors, and patterns to produce fabrics that meet specific functional and aesthetic needs. Whether creating fabrics for mass production or designing unique, handcrafted textiles, fabric designers must have a strong grasp of the qualities of materials and the processes involved in weaving, knitting, or printing textiles. The result is the creation of fabrics that can be both functional and visually captivating.
