This government-produced resource details many of the textiles used by Australian fashion designers and manufacturers over the last 50 years. It provides information on specific topics such as batik textile design, lightweight wool manufacture, Indigenous textile production, and licensing agreements with textile manufacturers. Links to useful fashion and textile related resources are included with information relating to Australian fashion and design history and Indigenous cultural heritage and art practises. The writing style considers a range of audiences and although the information provided is an overview, it lists a variety of Australian based textiles. The weakness of this website is that the information is limited and has not been updated for several years. This is a good resource for those wanting to begin to explore the variety of textiles used in the Australian fashion industry, however some of our other resources we have included are much more detailed.
