  • About Leather Types of Leather
    About Leather Types of Leather Leather is an ancient, durable material created through a process of tanning animal rawhide to preserve it and make it pliable when dry. Many features of natural leather make it superior to synthetic products including durability, comfort, beauty, suppleness, and resilience. Plus, leather’s ability to patina and absorb body oils continues to enhance the leather’s appearance and makes it more beautiful over time. Leather can broadly be divided into full grain, enhanced grain, corrected grain, top grain and split leathers. Full Grain Leather Full grain leather has no surface alterations. The hide’s natural pores and grain textures are intact and it will develop a patina over time. The tiny pinholes dotting the surface indicate the hide’s open hair follicles. The presence of these hair follicles demonstrates a high quality surface which has not been altered to conceal flaws. This full grain surface breathes. It keeps the user Full grain comfortable as it adjusts to body temperature. Full grain leather is the highest quality, most beautiful, and most comfortable leather available. Enhanced Grain Leather Enhanced grain leather is a full grain with an artificial grain embossed over the natural grain. Enhanced grain leather has the same comfort and breathability of a full grain, but the surface has received minor alteration to improve grain Enhanced grain appearance. Corrected Grain Leather Corrected grain leather is produced from the upper portion of the hide. The surface is lightly sanded or refined then embossed with an artificial grain texture. Corrected grain leathers have a more consistent appearance across the entire surface.

  • Ethical Consumers' Awareness of Vegan Materials
    sustainability Article Ethical Consumers’ Awareness of Vegan Materials: Focused on Fake Fur and Fake Leather Yeong-Hyeon Choi 1 and Kyu-Hye Lee 2,* 1 Department of Clothing and Textiles, Hanyang University, Seoul 04763, Korea; [email protected]figure 2 Human-Tech Convergence Program, Department of Clothing and Textiles, Hanyang University, Seoul 04763, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-2220-1191 Abstract: With an increase in ethical awareness, people have begun to criticize the unethical issues associated with the use of animal materials. This study focused on the transition of global consumers’ awareness toward vegan materials and the relationship between the interest in ethical subjects such as animals, the environment, and vegan materials. For this purpose, consumers’ posts about fur/fake fur and leather/fake leather uploaded on Google and Twitter from 2008 to 2019 were utilized, and the Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (Tf-idf ) value was extracted using Python 3.7. Furthermore, the worldwide Google keyword search volume of each word was analyzed using Smart PLS 3.0 to investigate global consumers’ awareness. First, with time, consumers began relating animal materials such as fur and leather to topics such as animal rights, animal abuse, and animal protection. Second, as interest in “animal welfare” increased, interest in “fake fur” also rose, and as interest in “cruelty free” increased, interest in “fake fur”, “vegan fur”, and “vegan leather” also increased. Third, as consumers’ interest in the “environment” increased, interest in vegan materials such as “fake fur” and “fake leather” decreased. However, as interest in “eco” increased, interest in “vegan leather” also augmented.

  • Hides, Skins, and Leather

  • Patent Leather
    PATENT LEATHER Patent leather was developed during the late 18th century, but it was not until 1818 that Samuel Boyden developed a linseed-oil treatment that gives patent leather its distinctive, high-gloss finish. That luster is often associated with formal wear, as evidenced by the Balenciaga evening dress on view elsewhere in this exhibition. LAMBSKIN Lambskin tends to be lighter and more malleable than cowhide, and it has a more even surface. This fine, breathable leather is also more comfortable to wear. It lends itself to a softer drape, as can be seen in the leather used for the jumpsuit by Stefano Pilati for Yves Saint Laurent. COATED CALFSKIN Chrome tanning was developed in 1858 and yields a softer leather than does vegetable tanning. The stiffness of this leather comes from the thickness of the split and the coated finish. The Comme des Garçons Biker + Ballerina ensemble uses similar leather to create a sculptural form. GOATSKIN Goatskin is durable and is used for everything from kid gloves to drum heads. The finest Moroccan leather is full-grain goatskin, meaning that its surface has not been buffed or sanded. This ensures the leather’s strength and breathability. LAMBSKIN Trapunto, from the Italian “to quilt,” is a decorative technique that adds dimension to a flat textile. Padding is stitched between two layers to raise the surface of the material. As on the exhibition’s Jean Paul Gaultier jacket, concentric circles are worked from the center out to accommodate the volume of the padding. Trapunto sample by Gabrielle Litterio, accessories design student, FIT PIGSKIN SUEDE Pigskin is ideal for suede.

  • La Doppia Anima Di Alberto Guardiani
    AUTUMN WINTER 2014 15 Galactic Elegance The Alberto Guardiani woman for the next Autumn/Winter 2014-15 season is distinguished by her "lunar" elegance, in a style that is simultaneously galactic and planetary. The Alberto Guardiani collection is inspired by the impeccable university team uniforms and by the exciting space missions of Eileen Collins, the first woman who commanded and piloted the Space Shuttle. For next winter the "Guardiani" astronaut chooses her daily uniform with a decisive elegance combined with freshness and modernity. Futuristic and lunar atmospheres blend with the collegiate world, breathing life into a collection that looks toward the future, due to a combination of techniques and materials that are the result of careful stylistic research. The functionality of the shapes is expertly combined with the leather cutting, the craftsmanship in construction, and the colour gradations. Materials such as suede and patent leather, refined "crown" inlays, and the closures typical of more stylized uniforms, are combined with innovative gold-laminated leathers and with the application of small golden cages on the toes of the pumps and ankle boots. Instead, the patent leather uppers show toes with a special nuance that can take on the space colours of blue, silver and gold that suggest the tones of a futuristic galaxy. The heels and their heights are the main players in this new collection, like the LULY style, where the stiletto heel varies from 50 mm, to 70 mm, and up to 100 mm. The space shoe runs the gamut of variations: perhaps a pump or an ankle boot in patent leather, with details in golden laminated calfskin that form an arrow shape at the toe, which is also in black suede with a calfskin leather toe.
