I would
like to start by introducing myself. My name is Cerbu Valeria; I
study at the Light Industry. What I want to do is to show what does
the world of fashion invent in the last decade, and I think there will
be plenty of time for questions at the end.
As the Theodore Levitt said, “Creativity is thinking up new
things. Innovation is doing new things” So let me introduce you to
some of them.
The key words of my presentation are the following:
1) Yarn – a long, thin piece of cotton, wool etc;
2) Thread- a piece of fibrous material, a fiber;
3) Natural fibers- are fibers derived from plants or animals;
4) Man-made fibers- are fibers creating by man to improve on
naturally ones;
5) Innovation- is a new idea, device or process.
Natural fibers have been used for apparel and home fashion, for
thousands of years. There are four the most known natural fibers and their
producers.
1) Linen- major producer: ex-Soviet States
2) Cotton- major producer: The United States of America
3) Wool- major producer: Australia
4) Silk- major producer: Japan
Next are Man-made fibers which are the result of research by
scientists to improve on natural fibers. The most known of them are:
1) Acetate 2)Rayon 3)Nylon 4)Velcro
5) Acrylic 6)Polyester 7)Spandex
