Sonia Delaunay: Fashion and Fabrics Jacques Damase, Sonia Delaunay 1997 art deco, fabric design, robert delaunay, fashion history, book
The Russian-born artist Sonia Delaunay, who with her husband, Robert Delaunay, was a leading light of the Cubist splinter group Orphism, branched out after the First World War into a distinctive career of her own. Between 1920 and 1930, a decade full of activity and success, she produced some of the most striking and original fabric designs of modern times. She was the inventor of abstract design for fabrics, and her materials--brightly colored and filled with geometric patterns--were the rage among fashionable circles in the Art Deco era. Delaunay made imaginative waistcoats for Tristan Tzara, Louis Aragon, Ren Crevel, and other Surrealist poets.
Studio subTela Barbara Layne (Hexagram Institute) institute, research, visual art, engineering, intelligent clothing, smart fabrics
Barbara Layne is the Director of Studio subTela at the Hexagram Institute where she works with a team of graduate students from Visual Arts and Engineering at Concordia University and a variety of international collaborators. The Studio is focused on the development of intelligent cloth structures for the creation of artistic, performative and functional textiles. Natural materials are woven in alongside microcomputers and sensors to create surfaces that are receptive and responsive to external stimuli. Controllable arrays of Light Emitting Diodes present changing patterns and texts through the structure of cloth. Wireless transmission systems have also been developed to support real time communication. In both wearable systems and site related installations, textiles are used to address the social dynamic of fabric and human interaction.

The Fashion of Architecture Bradley Quinn 2003 book, fashion, architecture, haute couture, catwalk
The Fashion of Architecture is the first attempt to investigate the contemporary relationship between architecture and fashion in considerable depth, by examining the ideas, imagery, techniques and materials used by visionaries such as Martin Margiela, Issey Miyake, Alexander McQueen, Tadao Ando and Daniel Libeskind. As mavericks ranging from Hussein Chalayan and Rei Kawakubo to Rem Koolhaas and Zaha Hadid describe architectureís role in the formation of fashion identities, new readings of both areas emerge. Probing and far-reaching in its content, The Fashion of Architecture is the most comprehensive study of this exciting area to date.

Varitex (Varitex) company, smart materials, medical equipment, research
Van oudsher is Varitex nauw verbonden met de flebologie. Zo werd de eerste Varitex maatkous ontwikkeld voor de praktijk van pionier H.R. van de Molen. Varitex heeft altijd een actief en stimulerend beleid gevoerd ten aanzien van wetenschappelijk onderzoek en de publicatie daarvan. Vanaf de oprichting onderkende Varitex dat productie van elastische kousen samen moet gaan met de ontwikkeling van de compressietherapie. Zo werden de eerste drukmetingen al in 1958 met behulp van TNO apparatuur bij Varitex verricht. Deze metingen zouden de basis leggen voor de officiële indeling in de klassen 1 tot 4. Momenteel levert Varitex zelf aangepaste apparatuur voor drukmeting aan TNO en fabrikanten van elastische kousen. Vanuit deze taakopvatting en de ontwikkelde kennis op het gebied van compressietherapie, is Varitex nauw betrokken bij de nationale en internationale ontwikkelingen op het gebied van regelgeving en standaardisering. Vanzelfsprekend is een goede compressietherapie afhankelijk van het juist instellen en uitvoeren van die behandeling. Daarom beschouwt Varitex het instrueren en opleiden van ieder die bij de behandeling betrokken is, als een essentieel onderdeel van haar taak.

XS labs Joanna Berzowska (XS labs) lab, innovation, electronic textiles, reactive garments, interactions, design research studio, complex textile-based surfaces, transitive properties
Joanna Berzowska's XS Labs is a design research studio with a focus on innovation in the fields of electronic textiles and reactive garments: "second skins" that can enable computationally-mediated interactions with the environment and the individual. We are equally inspired by the technical and cultural history of how textiles have been made for generations (weaving, stitching, embroidery, knitting, beading, quilting) and by new and emerging materials with different electro-mechanical properties. This enables us to construct complex textile-based surfaces, substrates, and structures with "transitive" properties.
