so interesting! i wish there was a little more of indigenous history here and not just centered around european history. pre-incan civilizations used weaving to count their people like a census and would keep 10 years of food inventory thru these patterns made in cloth. the garments made were just as luxurious and colorful with intricate patterns and dyed materials!

In Peru these practices are so sacred and the need to preserve them is strong, there are escuelas of manualidades where people learn weaving, pottery, carving, and all sorts of things with your hands. It tends to be used as labor for exportation and tourism which is sad but at least the culture is staying alive

In Panajachel, one of the textile hubs in Guatemala, today, I happened to hear the following conversation between two locals, one a teacher who had just bought himself a nice looking jacket at a Paca, that's a used clothing store. The other was a shoe repairman, sitting on the sidewalk, repairing shoes. The teacher had come to sit between the shoe repairman and myself to try on the jacket. I was sitting rearranging my local market purchases in my backpack so they would not end up as mash when I got home. The teacher said he had gotten the jacket for Q5, that's US$0.66. The other man said: Ten years ago, it cost the [Mayan Indians = hoi polloi)] Q1000 (US$150+-) to dress decently. Now, everybody can for Q5. Thanks to this amazing invention. To think I was going to skip this video...

Textiles are the first technology of any civilization and it will be the first thing we have to get going in space. That culture may use human hair, hair of long-hair cats, and plants like hemp (since they’re so hardy and productive). And lots of recycling!

The industrial revolution was the nail in the coffin for fashion and fine clothing. Innovation has declined ever since, and the knowledge base among average people.

@@martijnkeisers5900 you should study the actual textiles, instead of consuming propaganda. The Dakha muslin vanished due to early industrialization by Colonialition. Beautiful silks were replaced by nasty, toxic rayon that causes skin cancer. Crochet still can't be done by machines, and most lace is horrible, molded polyester that feels like the petroleum product it is. Good grief! Haven't you ever seen needle lace? If you want to express a valid opinion, look into the matter first. Beautiful clothes have been replaced by jeans and t-shirts, and Burmuda shorts. Give me a break!

@@valerieprice1745 Hi! Thanks for responding! I understand what ur saying but there is a difference between fashion and craftsmanship. The materials u describe were extremely expensive and only accessible for the elite. Fashion only changed slowly over decades and garments were constantly repaired and adjusted. From the moment equipment arrived to make textiles easier and faster and sowing machines were invented it became an industry on its own. Fashion is all about creativity, experiment, zeitgeist and ofcourse also craftsmanship. All the fabrics and techniques that came with the industrial revolution contributed to so many fashions afterwards and because of that became one of the biggest industries in the world. And i am sure ur closet is filled, not with brocade and handwoven silk but machine stitched rayon, polyester, stretch and nylon fabric blends. Fashion IS, and always was a reflection of society whether you agree or disagree it moves on anyway.

Interesting. I guess I've always just taken textiles for granted. I imagine it would be pretty amazing for someone way back when, to see someone draped in one of the earliest pieces of fabric. Something that is not animal skin. You would have to touch it and you would definitely want some for yourself.
