Clothing design and manufacture Man-made fibre products and their end-uses Textiles play an important role in our everyday life, not only as clothing or home furnishings, but also as hygiene products and various technical applications. Each end-use sector has specific technical, functional and aesthetic requirements, and the used materials are selected to fulfil them. Cost
