Label copy

Eugène van Veldhoven has explored new textile surface treatments

for more than a decade. One developing trend which dates from

the 1990s merges high technology with “low” technology, or hand

techniques. Van Veldhoven’s forecasts from this period illustrate

the many directions the industry has followed since the computer

“revolution” made inroads into the education and manufacturing

segments of the textile establishment.

These swatches were developed as trend forecasts for the

publication View: Textile View Magazine. Serving as inspiration and

indicators of change for the textile and fashion industries, van

Veldhoven’s collections looked to issues of weather and climate

change as well as corporate branding and individual identity, always

with a bit of humor and irony.
