The Industrial Revolution was a time where trade called for higher demands, in everything. Specialized artists were being eliminated due to ever evolving inventions and the presence of factories. Textiles was a field affected by the Industrial Revolution that is still present in our everyday lives just as much as it was then. Since the Industrial Revolution, weaving has foregone several phases such as the Spinning Jenny in 1770, to the spinning mule, and then the Power Loom. There was also Eli Whitney's invention of the Cotton Gin that helped push textiles and fashion forwards. Finally, machines were created to produce printed fabrics, as well as create more intricate fabrics such as Lace.
