Designers of High Fashion Enter the Age of High Tech

Article post: Macho Mesh Is Back (Warning: The article might not be viewable.)

This article was about black mesh, and its prevalence in fashion and design today as opposed to its use in the past. According to the article, "mesh suggests royalty and the age of chivalry. It evokes origins as diverse as chain mail and chain-link fence. It also recalls the front of early racing cars. It can be light and ethereal or tough and forbidding. Mesh can be macho."

I think it's interesting that while mesh has always been apart of our lives (like the article said, "mesh is everywhere"), I find it interesting that mesh is making a comeback, especially in furniture, architecture, and automobile design.
