The secrets of your textiles: download the PV Textile Glossary from 11 February The - Première Vision Paris
Have you ever wondered what your clothes are made of? Beyond the labels, a fascinating world of fibers, yarns, and weaves is revealed. To unravel the mysteries of textile composition, Première Vision launches a reference work: the Textile Glossary.
This guide invites you on a journey to the heart of the raw materials that give life to our textiles. From the most ancestral natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, to the most innovative synthetic materials, the Textile Glossary provides an exhaustive inventory of the different categories of fibers and their characteristics.
The first chapter, dedicated to fibers, will be available to download in digital format from 11 February 2025.
Designed as a tool to deepen your knowledge and support sourcing, the Textile Glossary will allow you to:
- Master the technical vocabulary thanks to clear definitions of terms specific to the textile industry, to better understand technical data sheets and fabric specifications.
- Identify the different fibers by learning to recognize the visual and tactile characteristics of natural, artificial, and synthetic fibers.
- Choose the right materials for your quality and durability requirements, by understanding the different properties of fibers (resistance, drape, touch, etc.).
- Discover the latest innovations in technical fibers and eco-responsible materials.
