Two world-wars changed society forever: the status of women, class system, attitudes to sex. Fashion played a key role in social aspiration: man-made fibres fed a new mass market with attractively priced clothes and the easy-care demanded by consumers. The book covers history, invention, technology of Rayon, Nylon, Polyester and Acrylic fibres.
