Textile design is an interesting major, as it is part fashion design, part interior architecture design. Though many would just disregard textile design as a strange major, it is actually a very interesting course consisting of looking into fabric textures, patterns, and materials.
Fabrics are used for everything, from home furnishings, to clothing. Everybody has their opinions on what they wear, to what they’re always associated to. Fashion design is something everybody thinks they can do, and thus they always have strong opinions about it. However, if one thinks about it, it’s actually one of the hardest majors out there. Not everybody will appreciate one’s sense of fashion, or even what one thinks looks good. Even the models are subjected to criticism.
However, textile design is much more than that. To major in textile designs, one must know how to keep with the trends, not only with colors and seasons, but with fabric type and indoor furnishings. One must have an excellent sense of color coordination and also must possess the ability to read people’s personalities. Psychology also plays into this major. Plus, don’t forget biology! With the new craze of “green”, organic materials are also more prized and considered higher in fashion. One would have to factor in the biodegradable factor of everything, and make it look good as well.
Textiles play into every aspect of our day-to-day lives. From the chairs you sit in to the clothes you wear, there was a designer that thought the cloth would be suitable for the chair, the shirt, the shorts to be manufactured.
