I found a link to this in the archives of a blog last week (sorry, I can't remember where!) I loved the image above, the fabric books of an Italian manufacturer, Mantero.

The Herald Tribune featured the photo accompanying an article titled The Globalization of Fabric. Check it out to learn a little about the difference in the quality of cloth used by some of the brands you would find at your local shopping mall versus those used in the world of luxury fashion. The story also explains some of the countries that supply the luxury market, and the types of fabric they specialize in.
