About the Author

Chris Halsey has spent over 40 years working with fabric and textiles, developing product ranges for Heals, Habitat, The Conran Shop and most notably Designer’s Guild where he worked closely with Tricia Guild developing her eponymous ranges. Wilhelmine van Aerssen is an interior design agent for world famous brands including Designer’s Guild, Ralph Lauren, Nina Campbell and Nobilis. Concern for the lack of technical knowledge in traditional and modern fabric production, both in terms of textile training and information available (you will not find anything on the internet) was the motivation for writing the book.
