The information that was told in the video about the fabric calico, surprised me. Since it's a fabric that we also work with in fashion and in my experience, only use for toiles. While it's also a fabric that can be used for the final design. I think this makes the appreciation for the fabric less, with it's huge history background and the big impact it had in that time.
I think this also shows us as fashion students, the importance of learning and having the interest of getting to know the fabric you're working with. I think as a fashion student, it's important to have a connection with your fabric and a understanding of the possibilities that different kinds of fabric can have.
So you can also get more ideas and creative with your design's.
