Innovative Technologies for Decorating Light Industry Products

Abstract

The article is devoted to the solution of the task of forming project images in modern mass fashion in the context of the use of innovative decoration technologies on the example of designing an author’s collection of women’s clothing. The scientific novelty of the study consists of the analysis and systematization of creative and innovative decoration technologies with the aim of further integration into the fashion design of clothing. The study’s practical significance lies in the study of characteristic techniques and elements of innovative clothing decoration. The article describes the stages and provides recommendations for producing the author’s prints for decorating products of the author’s collection. The authors focused on developing the author’s print using computer technologies in universal graphic reactors of both raster and vector graphics for further thermal transfer printing. The study demonstrates the process of forming a sketch of a fashionable design image using an information model, which allows authors to present it as a single symbolic system using modern practices of visual presentation of trendy innovations. The products in the collection are made of different materials, which, when combined into sets, give the image of unusualness and sophistication. The collection was developed in the format of the Pop Art style using fashion trends. The authors defined and thought out the main images, forms, and constituent elements of the designed products of the author’s collection sets. When creating clothing models, special attention was paid to the originality and multifunctionality of the collection’s products and their parts. The creative and design, constructive, and technological solutions of models of sets of the author’s collection were produced and presented at the All-Ukrainian competition of young designers “Colours of Podillia” (Khmelnytskyi, KhNU, 2022), were developed.

Investigation of the Resistance of Different Textile Prints to Washing and Abrasion

“…Among the most famous brands that presented their collections in the Pop Art style, fashion houses Maison Margiela, Marni, Prada, Burberry, and Alexander McQueen are worth noting. At the preliminary stage of research [18], the authors defined and thought out the main images, forms, and constituent elements of the developed products of the author's collection sets. The collection was created open in the Pop Art style format using fashion trends.…”

“…In the second stage, its vector step-by-step development was performed in the Xara Designer Pro X 19 Free Trial vector graphics editor. The CMYK color scheme was chosen as the image's color scheme, as it is the most widespread in the printing industry and in full-color direct screen printing [8,18]. Examples of prints for decorating clothing models of the author's collection are shown in Figure 3.…”

“…The author [16] offers examples of the development of smart textile prints with an interactive capability. The desire for innovation becomes an impetus for designers to choose a great, complex source of inspiration and search for new ideas for its rethinking and interpretation in the material, form-forming elements of the collection, and rhythmic organization of the composition series [2][3][4][5][16][17][18]. All of the above studies form a powerful direction of innovative author's decoration of clothing models.…”
