Timeline
Using Natural Fibres
1700
The 1700s saw the use of natural materials such as cotton, linen and wool, which were decorated with fabric manipulations for aesthetic appeal.
Introduction Of Artificial Material
1800
Although natural materials were still generally relied on, 1846 saw the development of the synthetic fibre Rayon, as well as artificial silk made from mulberry trees as an inexpensive alternative to silk.
Development Of Synthetic Materials
1900
This century saw the development of new materials, including synthetic materials such as polyester, nylon and elastane which developed the underwear industry significantly, providing materials to stretch and shape the body.
Developing Sustainable Alternatives
Present Day
Although synthetic materials are still very much in use, researchers today are working towards developing innovative materials, including recycling synthetic waste and creating materials from natural resources, to tackle the issue synthetics have had upon our environment.
