The paper presents the influence of the design process on making the nonstandard patterns—constructional solutions in contemporary clothing design. A few examples of design processes have been presented, differing because of the source of inspiration and individuality of the designer in his or her strive to create original clothing forms. The influence of various factors connected with the development of new constructional solutions in clothing (including social, ideological, resulting from fashion trends, and the impact of the environment) has also been presented.
Design methodology makes it possible to plan and organise many different processes to obtain an optimal object. Students taught at the Textile Architecture specialization gain skills in design and technology, and this combination facilitates them to cooperate with industry. Recruitment expectations of companies reveal innovative fields of activity in this area. A new subject – Design Methodology for Corporations becomes a link in the process of teaching which will prepare graduates well for work in the clothing industry. The article shows a path of education of students at the Faculty of Material Technologies and Textile Design extended with the elements of artistic education. It takes up the broad topic of education in clothing design by discussing subsequent stages of education. It discusses a new subject, i.e. Designing for Corporations, which allows for a combination of artistic and technological skills. Finally it indicates potential pathways to multidisciplinary education.
