What Are Fashion Fabrics?

Fashion fabrics are textiles specifically chosen for their aesthetic appeal, feel, performance, and design adaptability. These are the materials that give form to fashion—used in everything from haute couture gowns to casual t-shirts. Unlike utility fabrics, fashion fabrics are selected based on drape, color, texture, and trend alignment.

They include a wide array of fibers and weaves:

• Woven or knit

• Natural or synthetic

• Solid, glittered, or printed

• Textured or smooth

Fashion fabrics don’t follow a one-size-fits-all formula. Each style, trend, or brand has unique textile requirements. At Fabric Base Inc., we respond to that diversity with a rich offering designed to move with the industry.
