Textiles and Clothing Along the Silk Roads

Textiles and clothing are indispensable parts of our lives, with around 1 in every 8 workers employed in the industry globally. Historically, textiles and clothing have also been vectors of mutual exchange and influence between cultures. Despite this, their significant role in connecting us is sometimes overlooked.

This volume of the thematic collection of cultural exchanges along the Silk Roads takes us worldwide, from Java to West Africa, Scandinavia to the Philippines. It charts a fascinating history, from how patterns and dyes were elements of cultural imitation, hybridization, and exchange, to how particular motifs and symbols were adopted across cultures and used to influence.

Anyone in the textile segment of screenprinting, especially those in design and marketing, will find the exploration of the rich history of textiles and clothing a common thread that connects us all.
