fabric - the Book

Preorder fabric now. We are pleased to announce “fabric”, a 300-page book about the last 25 years of fabric featuring rare photography, archival images, old flyers and iconic club artwork.

Back in 1999 converting a derelict meat store in an unfashionable part of London into a venue seemed like a great idea. 25 years later, we are still here.

With stories about the fabric’s birth, struggles and successes collected by Joe Muggs as well as an introduction by Bill Brewster and foreword by Annie Mac, the book celebrates the impact of fabric on club culture and vice-versa. Above all, it’s a story about the misfits and visionaries who made it happen, the curators and resident DJs who have kept it true to its roots, and the experiences of dancers on the dancefloor.
