“…Traditionally, an "artist" status of fashion designer is a professional legitimation strategy and stratification element (Steele 2017;Kawamura 2018;Crane 2019;S€ arm€ akari 2020). This is linked to the Modern concept of art being above craft, and to the Romantic notion of authorship, emerged during industrialization when the work and the artifact were separated (Shiner 2001;Woodmansee 1994).…”

The phenomenon of "digital fashion" has been lately addressed in media as the next significant step in the fashion industry. The increasing use of the 3D-software in fashion design processes is part of a wider "fashion 4.0" digitalization process. This article frames the phenomenon of digital fashion and presents an in-depth case study research on two pioneering companies in this area, Atacac and The Fabricant. How and why are they building their fashion design practice on digital 3D-design? How are these companies redefining the fashion design culture and the fashion designer? Drawing from sociology of professions, this article proposes that digital fashion is an emerging subfield within the field of fashion design, differentiating itself from the professional conventions and building new strategies of jurisdiction and legitimation. Driven by sociotechnical affordances and elevation of professional pride through ethical, conceptual, artistic and skill differentiation, digital fashion designer becomes also a digital artisan. In the increasingly virtual, or "phygital" space and a networked synergetic community of digital fashion, the professional, authorial, bodily and material boundaries of Natalia S€ arm€ akari is a Doctoral Candidate at Aalto University, Finland. S€ arm€ akari's professional background is in fashion design and her research interests concern fashion studies and design research, authorship and professionalism of fashion designers as well as the digitalization and datafication of the field of fashion design.

“…The generation of products depends on the application of 3D software to generate surreal and data-intensive digital 3D clothing virtual forms. These forms can be either pure digital products or digital models of physical products [2][3][4]. The integration characteristics of digital technology make it a versatile tool that can be applied to a wide range of fields.…”

The advent of 3D virtual presentation technology for clothing has led to the gradual popularisation of digital virtual clothing in the modern fashion industry. However, there remains a gap between the application of this technology and the integration of cultural attributes in the field of digital communication of traditional cultural clothing. Consequently, the objective of this paper is to propose the establishment of a fusion system integrating archaeological research on traditional culture with emerging virtual presentation technology. This paper draws inspiration from the replicability and easy dissemination of digital products to combine cultural archaeology and digital technology. The aim is to provide ideas for the diversity of dissemination of cultural heritage. The research object is Diplomatic Envoys, a Chinese mural painting of the Tang Dynasty that depicts friendly exchanges between countries. The research is divided into two research stages. A CLO3D software-based digital restoration test was conducted to reproduce the costumes of officials and foreign envoys depicted in the Tang Dynasty mural. The FAHP model was employed to verify the accuracy of the restoration results. The experiment demonstrated that the digitally reconstructed clothing exhibited a high degree of similarity to the unearthed mural figure clothing object. Furthermore, the restoration result passed the credibility verification, resulting in a ‘credible’ outcome. The application of digital virtual simulation clothing restoration methods offers two key advantages. Firstly, in comparison with traditional clothing restoration methods, digital restoration enables the rapid assessment of the resulting clothing effect, thereby reducing the likelihood of secondary damage to cultural relics due to manual errors. Secondly, the benefits of digital technology facilitate the convenient storage, replication, and dissemination of clothing data information. Data can not only be extended to online exhibition halls but also to game animation, clothing production, and other fields for the purposes of creative redesign and information dissemination. Furthermore, these benefits can penetrate the education industry to disseminate information to the public through all-round display models and explanations.

“…Natalia Särmäkari et al (2020) This article explores open-source fashion as a design philosophy and a phenomenon that challenges the conventional notion of fashion designers as sole creators of their creations. We suggest that in today's data-driven digital society, the idea challenges the primacy of fashion design professionals.…”

Examine the Influence of the Internet as a Cultural System on Creativity in Apparel Design and Product Development

Contradictory in nature, fashion consumption necessitates product attainment of quality and value for money, uniqueness, and brand identity, among other things. This research was conducted as part of a PhD dissertation examining the effects of computers and computer simulations on the design process, specifically how they affect the designer's ability to think creatively and come up with new ideas. The emergence of virtual worlds has significantly altered the conventional approaches to design work, such as research, ideation, and project communication.
