Fashion Editor

The serious student of fashion
interested in actual textile design
ing or on an inquisitive quest for
more fashion knowledge, has at
his disposal here in Washington,
D. c., source of inspiration that
can lead him to a wealth of ideas
in addition to providing history
romance, and the inspirational
stimulus desired.
The Textile Museum at 1920
street NV, open Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays from
until 5 pm, is veritable treas
ure trove of ancient textiles which
can serve as the introduction to
the exotic lands and cultures
which have contributed so much
to our present-day textile scene.
This museum is the storehouse
Of some Of the worlds most pre-
cious ancient textiles. 1t is the
only such museum dedicated to
textiles in America. About 5000
specimens of textiles and about
42o rugs from the Near East, Far
East, and Peru are in it. They
date from the first century or
earlier. through the 10th century.
The museum contains in a
great part the former private tex
tile collection of it's present presi-
dent, George Hewitt Myers.
How many of the fabulous tex
tiles are obtained is not a single
story but a series of stories.
Many individuals send "frag-
ments," as the pieces of textiles
are termed, as do many archeolo-

little if any resemblance to the
original design.
The display Of exhibits varies.
Some textiles are in special cab
inets with "slide-out" panels.
while other fragments" which
have been treated, washed and
worked upon, are mounted on
lumarith, which is then placed be-
tween two pieces of plexiglas for
easier and safer study. Many
rugs are on the floor or hung on
the walls. Storage rooms hold
rolls of fabric on special racks
that wait to be analysed or to
be fixed for exhibits. Catalogue
files also help in leading directly
to objects needed in research.
The Textile Museum works
closely with other museums and
with art departments of schools
and universities both in Europe
and in America. Right now the
museum is working on research
in cooperation with Dumbarton
Oaks and the Victoria and Albert
Museum in London.
Another phase of their work,
travelling exhibition loans, consti-
tute an important function of the
museums work. A loan Of SO tex
tiles has just been assembled for
the South Carolina Art Associa-
ton. This exhibition of textiles
will be shown at the Gibbs Me-
mortal Art Gallery in May, at
which time the cotton manufac-
turers will be convening in
Charleston. 1t is hoped that the
ancient textiles will help stimu-
late interest in Americas produc-
ing better designs for American
fabrics.

gists who come across them in
diggings. Many are purchased.
Many are obtained, as Mr.. Myers
put it, "by hook or by crook. p"
Sometimes part of a digging in
a far-of corner of the world will
be financed by someone interested
in the museums collection of tex
tiles. The stipulation is that
whatever is uncovered will eventu-
ally find its way to the museum.
Nobody knows exactly where
textiles first originated. In fact,
it is a very moot subject when
ever talk turns to ancient textiles.
Many textiles attributed to set
regions upon careful analysis have
been discovered to have originated
elsewhere. Via caravan or trad
ing they may have been brought
to another land and, due to the
climate. preserved. Climate deter
mines to a great extent whether
ancient textiles of a particular re-
gion are even available to be
studied. In parts of Peru, for ex-
ample, where the climate is very
dry, many specimens have been
found for study of periods dating
before Christ.
It is amazing to see how many
of these Peruvian textiles, some
woven before the birth of Christ,
have retained their colors. An
cient dyes were mostly vegetable
and one marvels that they have
stood up so well against the pass
ing of the centuries.

country to textile is sometimes a
little easier. Silk is associated
with China. Linen with Egypt
Cotton with India and wool with
MeSopotamia. In the Western
Hemisphere, Peru has proved an
endless source of information re-
garding ancient textiles from that
region. The Peruvian Room of
the Textile Museum contains in
addition to exquisite textiles, rugs
from Spain, ceramics and cere-
monial robes of beautifully colored
feathers.
The people who use the rich
resources of textile information
available at the Textile Museum
range from artists, fashion design
ers, textile designers, to professors
from all over the world who come
to the Museum to study and do
research. The inspirational and
factual value Of the color COM
binations, textures, techniques and
patterns of the textiles are of
tremendous value to them.
There Is one "catch" the mu-
