Are you a Material/Fabric Snob?... I am!!!

After studying fabrics and materials in fashion school, you automatically a fabric snob - or a quality vs. price snob! I don't buy anything without comparing composition to price anymore. I don't mind viscose at all, it is after all regenerated cellulose, same with rayon.

I would like to share an example that we often talked about in school: It used to cost Zadig and Voltaire less than 10 euros to make the cashmere sweater they sold to you for 300+ euros. Composition doesn't guarantee quality, it also takes knowledge in construction to know if something is for instance high quality or low quality silk.
