The Fabricnation Story The Fabricnation story Fabricnation was established in Cape Town in 2007, but it has its roots in a bond forged two decades earlier when its principals, Jane Solomon and Jann Cheifitz began printing together in a garage, whilst at Art School, inspired by their shared love of the African textile tradition. ¬"Jane-and-Jann" wasn't a company or even a label, but it was a friendship, partnership and collaboration whose printed-and-painted T-shirts, clothing and home furnishings became widely known in the alternative creative community at the height of the anti-apartheid era. Their designs expressed an emerging aesthetic at the time that reached for a post-apartheid sensibility that celebrated its grounding in contemporary urban Africa while comfortably in conversation with its global peers. The partnership became dormant by the early 90s as Jane and Jann found themselves in different corners of the world, exploring new challenges. They¬had worked together in London and then returned to Cape Town where they continued to design and produce numerous ranges of clothing and home furnishings as “Icon prints.” Jane took this business forward and extended it to create interior design concepts, while Jann moved to New York in the mid-90s.¬ Jane also works extensively as a product developer and skills trainer with urban and rural crafters. Her work in transferring skills to empower marginalized sectors of society were also the driving force behind the acclaimed "Body Maps" series where HIV-positive women used visual media to tell their truths. In New York, Jann created a new label, Lucky Fish, designing, producing and marketing an extensive range of printed T-shirts and home furnishings which¬are sold in stores all across America, as well as in Europe and Japan. But 13 years later, their shared aesthetic instinct drew them together again to launch Fabricnation, a new design house that will produce and market textile and wallpaper collections. Fabricnation aims to bring variety, diversity and fresh visual perspectives to the textile marketplace through collections designed by Jane Solomon and by Jann Cheifitz, as well as by selected established and untrained artists¬with whom they plan to collaborate. Having built 20 years of experience in textile design in different parts of the world on their original art- school impulse, Jann and Jane still remain primarily inspired by the African textile tradition, rendered in a modern urban context with its blending of diverse sources and influences to create the fabric of a nation. THE COLLECTION The Fabricnation collection includes 14 prints designed variously by Jann Cheifitz and Jane Solomon: All fabrics made and hand printed in South Africa. All designs work on a 64cm vertical repeat. AFRICAN ROYALE A playful African treatment on traditional damask, the royal lion takes center stage surrounded by ostrich fronds, rampant lions and birds. Fluorescent Pink on grey upholstery fabric. 1.45m wide White print on natural linen fabric. 1.5m wide Silver print on grey fabric. 1.45m wide CROWD An abstract pattern that on closer inspection reveals a section of a large crowd photographed at what might be an outdoor political or union rally, a church service or a civic meeting. Flipped horizontally and vertically, it creates an almost Rorschach image. Brown print on cream hopsack fabric. 1.5m wide Black print on white or cream hopsack fabric. 1.5m wide VELD An African savannah rendered in repeat in the style of a 1970s landscape photograph, offering a window onto the great outdoors that is at once expansive and calming. Olive print on cream hopsack fabric. 1.5m wide Brown on cream hopsack fabric. 1.5m wide Blue grey print on cream hopsack fabric 1.5m wide NUMBER 1 A mix of images inspired by the packaging of basic South African household products. Printed on hopsack and natural linen - reminiscent of sacking used to package products in the past. Navy on natural linen fabric. 1.5m wide Candle blue on white hopsack fabric. 1.5m wide CHAMPION Images from the packaging of basic South African household products have been combined to create a playful stripe – a take on soccer team shirts and traditional french striped tablecloths. Red print on cream hopsack fabric 1.5m wide Navy print on cream hopsack fabric 1.5m wide Green print on natural linen fabric 1.5m wide FOUR ACES A mix of images, mealies, cards, stars and fish, inspired by the packaging of basic South African household products combine to create a strip repeat evocative of West African textiles. Gold print on brown upholstery fabric 1.45 m wide Orange print on cream hopsack fabric 1.5m wide BOKKIE A reinterpretation of the springbok, inspired by art deco textiles and the South African railways Gold print on Brown upholstery fabric 1.45m wide Silver or Bronze print on cream hopsack 1.5m wide MONEY ANIMALS This textile frees a banknote from its function as a medium of exchange by transforming it into something decorative- as seen when foreign banknotes are taped to the walls of bars and restaurants all over the world. In the new South Arica wild animal iconography replaced controversial colonial figures on the Rand notes Purple print on cream hopsack 1.5m wide Green print on cream hopsack 1.5m wide Blue grey print on cream hopsack 1.5m wide SEASCAPE A west coast wave is rendered in repeat. Evocative of seaside holidays spent by the sea. Indigo blue print on cream hopsack 1.5m wide Turquoise print on white hopsack 1.5m wide OLD POSTCARDS A collage of a collection of old postcards from a faded South African past. Black print on White hopsack: 1.5m wide Brown print on cream hopsack: 1.5m wide Digital (full colour on white hopsack) 1.5m wide POSITIVE POWER A floral pattern inspired by late 60s early 70s “folk/hippy” textiles - The flowers that make up this pattern have been created by mutating, collaging elements from a variety of medical diagrams of the HI virus. The viruses (flowers) become weird and wonderful symbols. This fabric honors the courage, dedication and power of all people living with HIV who have grown to live and love – free positive lives. Red print on white hopsack 1.5m wide White print on red upholstery fabric 1.45m wide Black print on cream hopsack 1.5m wide White/ Silver print on dark grey upholstery fabric 1.45m wide LILIACEAE A variation on a traditional botanical/floral print This print investigates the strange succulents that are part of the family, Liliaceae. Printed “with roots” the textile celebrates indigenous South African flora and the healing properties, muti, associated with these plants. Lichen green print on dark grey upholstery fabric 1.45m wide Chartreuse green print on white hopsack 1.5m wide Black print on cream hopsack 1.5m wide ALOES AND LACE Aloes and lace is a playful evocation of frontier traditions of self sufficiency and simplicity. An oil lamp replaces electricity; water is pumped by harnessing the power of the wind and a lacy curtain frames our view of a harsh landscape. The economic, social and environmental crises of our times have put us back on the frontier of the unknown. Grey print on white hopsack 1.5m wide Chartreuse green print on linen 1.5m wide Indigo print on white hopsack 1.5m wide TOILE DU JOZI The Toile du Jozi design tells the story of an African city rendered in the faded style of a Toile du Jouy fabric but instead of depicting typically French rural scenes it shows Johannesburg (Jozi) street scenes. Urban meets rural, formal meets informal, tradition meets modernity.

Benjamin The Texture of Change: Cloth Commerce and History in West Africa, 1700-1850 Abstract This study re-examines historical change in western Africa during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries through the lens of cotton textiles; that is by focusing on the production, exchange and consumption of cotton cloth, including the evolution of clothing practices, through which the region interacted with other parts of the world. It advances a recent scholarly emphasis to re-assert the centrality of African societies to the history of the early modern trade diasporas that shaped developments around the Atlantic Ocean.

  • Locally Produced Textiles on the Indian Ocean Periphery 1500-1850: East Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia William Gervase Clarence-Smith
    Locally produced textiles on the Indian Ocean periphery 1500-1850: East Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia William Gervase Clarence-Smith Ravi Palat and Immanuel Wallerstein claim that India 'deindustrialised' its Indian Ocean periphery, by exploiting its advanced proto-industrial techniques, especially for the production of cloth. (Pearson 1998: 109-12, 121, 126) After 1500, the picture was complicated by the violent irruption of Europeans, and yet they failed to dislodge South Asian cloth from its hegemonic position. All scholars agree on the continued market penetration of Indian cottons and silks in early modern times, although statistics hardly exist, and publications are patchy over the thousands of kilometres that separated Luzon from Arakan, and Mozambique from the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. There is a real problem in determining what the performance of peripheral textiles might have been without imports from India. (Pearson 1998: 121-2) Anthony Reid postulates a 'zero-sum game,' whereby local output fell when Indian cottons surged in, but increased when imports from India were curtailed for some exogenous reason. (Reid 1988: 96) The evidence put forward in this paper does not bear out this mechanistic model. In reality, imports from India were as much a stimulus as a threat to local industries. Complicating matters was a marked blurring of the traditional distinction between 'manufactured imports' and 'local raw materials', given that imported textiles could serve as intermediate goods. Local artisans decorated coloured cloth from abroad, printed and dyed imports of plain white cloth, and wove yarn that had been spun far away. Indeed, they even unpicked finished cloth to obtain the dyed yarn that they desired.

  • African Textile Design and Fabric Arts As a Source for Contemporary Fashion Trends Dereje Debeli , Liu Jie Yuan , Zhou
    2nd International Conference on Science and Social Research (ICSSR 2013) African textile design and fabric arts as a source for contemporary fashion trends Dereje Debeli 1, a, Liu Jie Yuan 1, b, Zhou Jiu1, c* 1Key Laboratory of Advanced Textile Materials and Manufacturing Technology, Ministry of Education, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, 310018, China. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Key words: African textiles, design, fabric, arts Abstract. Textile design and arts in Africa traced back to thousand of centuries when some ethnic groups were started producing clothes for multi-purpose uses. Their design creations and arts were known to be having geometric patterns graced with wonderful choice of colors which were primarily bright in that sense. This paper introduces African textile designs and dressing styles. The concept of designing African textiles and its method to integrate on contemporary fashion trends are intended to be discussed. Color choices, selection of patterns and combination of aesthetics values are also included after taking some examples that illustrated African textiles. The kind of motif selection, balancing shapes and color sonority imbedded on these fabrics have a lot of thing to do with their wearing culture and dressing styles. The import of motifs on fabric has its own techniques. Textile design and fabrics produced based on these techniques are finally planned to convey known values from generation to generation. Introduction African textile designs and arts are representative symbols of African society. Some people and societies in Africa have developed symbols from proverbs, sayings, and king’s quotation in a form of arts.

  • West African Textiles
    WEST AFRICAN TEXTILES BARROW HALL GALLERY March 4—April 3 9 a.m.—5 p.m. WEST AFRICAN TEXTILES Exhibit curated by José Blanco and Jennifer Regan with assistance from Dr. Patricia Hunt-Hurst, Raúl Vázquez -López, and students from TXMI 4580: World Textiles (Jessica Baker, Allie Bashuk, Lauren Fylstra, Sara Idacavage, Rachel Jack, Ashley Scruggs, Kim Stober, Danielle Walsh). Unknown maker Light teal and brown two piece female outfit, Burkina Faso Cotton, synthetic embroidery On loan from Dr. Karim Traore This female outfit represents the colorful and flamboyant prints of modern African fashion which contrast the hand woven designs of traditional African dress. It is interesting to note that the modern print of the ensemble is not a traditional African design and resembles the art deco style of the early twentieth century. The pattern is created by a wax-printing process that has been copied by the Europeans. Interestingly, English wax-printed fabrics have become prestigious items in Nigeria costing more than the local outputs of the region. The fabric is inscribed with the words “Guaranteed English Wax” therefore verifying the quality of the print. The second interesting feature of this ensemble is the colorfully embroidered collar around the neckline of the caftan that appears to be industrially made. The decorative elements of the ensemble indicate that it is probably intended for special occasions. Unknown maker Teal Kampala fabric with white and orange print, Nigeria Cotton brocade On loan from Dr. Akinloye Ojo This piece is similar to Kampala textiles created in Uganda. The material is likely a damask weave created with a synthetic fiber.

Mudcloth is a traditional African fabric that was first made in Mali, West Africa. It’s typically characterized by white geometric designs on a black, brown, mustard, red or green background (although other colors are sometimes found). Although Mudcloth is relatively new to the US, having only been commonly seen here since the 1990’s, Mudcloth in Africa dates as far back as the 12th century AD. Mudcloth actually does contain mud due to the process used to make it, which involves among other things using fermented mud as well as a liquid that is concocted from the leaves of native trees. Mud cloth is often soaked in this liquid several times before the cloth is actually fin- ished. The term Mudcloth is actually a direct translation of an African word – bogolanfini. Traditional Mudcloth is made in the old-fashioned man- ner of weaving cotton into strips on looms and then binding these strips together.

The Kanga, A Cloth That Reveals1 Co-production of Culture in Africa and the Indian Ocean Region Phyllis Ressler [email protected] Photo: Kim Retka The kanga, a colorful machine printed cloth, is frequently identified with the Swahili culture along the east African coast starting in the early 1880’s. This rather mysterious cloth continues to be used and valued by millions of people in many countries today. The kanga is approximately 45 x 65 inches in size, is usually sold in pairs, and can be identified by its distinctive border and central design or motif. Typically a line of text is printed along the border. Kangas are found all over the world. Japan, Lamu, the Rift Valley, Nairobi, Dar es Salam, the Comoros islands, Mozambique, eastern DRC, Oman and Dubai are but a few of the locations where kangas have been worn and used for generations.

As studies have recently shown, a critical factor driving trade in this zone was local demand for foreign cloth; from the 1830s the majority of it was industrially made coarse cotton sheeting from Europe and America, which largely displaced the handwoven Indian originals. Employing archival, object, image and field research, this article demonstrates that until 1885 luxury textiles were as important to economic and social life in central eastern Africa, textiles known to the Swahili as ‘cloths with names’.
