DESCRIPTION:The apparel industry\, though driven by fashion and expected to
  embrace transformation\, is often resistant to change in its technologies
  and vision\, according to Susan P. Ashdown\, Professor Emerita in Human C
 entered Design in the College of Human Ecology. This attitude has also bee
 n apparent in patternmaking textbooks used in apparel programs\, but in ed
 iting the 4th edition of Draping for Apparel Design (Fairchild Books\, 202
 2) Ashdown transformed this text from a ‘how-to’ book suited to a 1950
 s classroom to a modern book with an inclusive vocabulary\, as well as met
 hods and topics directed to the students who will lead the apparel industr
 y in the future. In a live\, hybrid Chats in the Stacks book talk\, Ashdow
 n will discuss how her text is closer to an engineering book than a sewing
  manual\, and how it teaches students a deep understanding of the concepts
  of patternmaking with a focus on the complex and rewarding process of dev
 eloping patterns to fit the range of body variation and using materials th
 at exhibit a seemingly endless range of properties. \n\nThis talk is hoste
 d by Mann Library. Light refreshments will be served.
