"Designers, we're going to Mood!" More than 10 years ago, Tim Gunn and Project Runway introduced millions of viewers to New York's ultimate fabric mecca, Mood Fabrics. Now, the experts behind this fabric powerhouse bring their fabric and fashion know-how—plus their behind-the-scenes stories—to the sewing public. The Mood Guide to Fabric and Fashion is the ultimate guide for home-sewers, fashion students, aspiring designers, and Project Runway fans who want to learn everything they need to know to choose and use quality fabric. Drawing upon the expertise of the Mood staff, the book teaches readers the fundamentals—from where fabric is produced to the ins and outs of its construction—and features a fabric-by-fabric guide to cottons and other plant fibers, wools, silks, knits, and other specialty fabrics.

      This guide brings sewists into the world of New York City's Mood Designer Fabrics, while simultaneously providing an overview of fabrics used in garment sewing. A brief introduction provides a history of Mood, which was founded in the early 1990s by Jack Sauma, a Syrian immigrant with a background in fashion design. With the debut of Project Runway, an iconic fashion destination was born. The majority of the guide focuses on different types of fabrics, organized by fiber content (e.g., cotton, wool, silk). Each fabric's write-up includes descriptions, photographs, and tips for working with the fabric, and fashion photographs showing the fabrics in use (including many designs by Project Runway alums) are featured throughout. Sidebars feature profiles and tips from Mood's in-house experts. Tim Gunn provides the foreword. VERDICT A pleasingly presented layperson's introduction to the world of fashion fabrics. The name recognition will be a big draw.
