Many of the objects we use each day were made via the process of weaving, which is an ancient textile art. The clothes on our backs, the blankets we sleep under and the rugs on our floors are just a few of the woven products we use regularly without really stopping to think about how they were made. The truth is that if weaving had never been invented we would still be relying on animal skins to keep us warm.
Weaving started thousands of years ago and still now, the technique has kept much of its original form. Although there are now several tools and modern equipment that can make patterns faster and more evenly, you can still find hand-woven products made from different parts of the globe. You will find that the design will change depending on the source and the creator. Weaving is still very much the same as it was millennia ago.

Hailed as the "designer's designer," Isabel Toledo is known for her impeccable handmade construction and understanding of how her pieces make a woman feel-a unique approach considered a lost art in the midst of the everevolving world of fashion. Although her pieces are sold in select high- end retailers, her work has made national and global headlines, most notably when Michelle Obama wore her unforgettable lemongrass dress at the presidential inauguration. Although becoming more visible and accessible, Isabel remains a very private designer, paving her own way with her own rules, including choosing not to show at Fashion Week.In Roots of Style, Isabel opens up for the first time about her life, process, inspiration, and experiences while imparting her guiding principles for any woman to sharpen her sense of style. Isabel's equally artistic husband, Ruben Toledo-an institution in his own right- transforms her designs from concepts to fleshedout illustrations, bringing Isabel's words and artistic sensibility to life with beautiful and visually stunning drawings.
