  • Emilio Pucci: Revolutionizing Textile Design
    Emilio Pucci: Revolutionizing Textile Design Samara Cifelli Keywords: Emilio Pucci / Diane von Furstenberg / Suki Cheema / Nieves Lavi Abstract Emilio Pucci’s influence on American fashion design is undeniable, but his contribution ranges far beyond the runway. During the 1960s and '70s, Pucci explored and pushed the boundaries of textile design through both art and science. His contributions to color chemistry, graphic design and textile engineering laid the groundwork for American designers from Diane von Furstenberg to home goods innovators like Suki Cheema and Nieves Lavi to explore and create fabrics that owe their inspiration to the Italian “Prince of Prints.” Pucci and Pattern “The body of the woman moved the dress, the dress didn’t create the body of the woman” (Taschen 22). Emilio Pucci’s innovative and bold use of patterns pushed textile design, color chemistry and pattern/textile engineering in demanding steps forward in the 1960s and 1970s. The results of Pucci overseeing every detail of production are still influential in 21st century fashion. Famous for his innovative, colorful, and complex patterns, Pucci revolutionized textile design and how it is used to enhance, emphasize, and flatter the female body. Emilio Pucci’s clothing freed women’s bodies by using fabrics much lighter than those being used at the time but he also utilized his patterns to flatter the body. “There were few gathers, tucks, or pleats to hide anything, but the patterns themselves camouflaged, and the cut was ample” (Kennedy 7). Because Pucci had such a great grasp on the engineering aspect of textile design, he was able to utilize such information as textile placement for patterning.

  • Parametric Design Thinking About Digital and Material Surface Patterns
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DESIGN EDUCATION 6 & 7 SEPTEMBER 2018, DYSON SCHOOL OF DESIGN ENGINEERING, IMPERIAL COLLEGE, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM PARAMETRIC DESIGN THINKING ABOUT DIGITAL AND MATERIAL SURFACE PATTERNS Wenche LYCHE, Arild BERG and Kristin ANDREASSEN OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University ABSTRACT There is a growing need in contemporary society to understand new and emerging relationships between technology and creativity. In practice-oriented areas of education such as design, many instructors have come to understand the importance of different learning styles and how students benefit when presentation of new material is varied to reach all students. The concept of parametric design thinking enabled by advanced computational processes has recently been identified as a relevant approach to design education. The present research further explores parametric design thinking through two case studies of design workshops in an educational context and how this approach can promote diversity. The first case (Robotised Clay Workshop) documents material exploration and creative and aesthetic possibilities in digitalised clay processes. The second case (Surface Patterns in Textiles: From Tradition to Digitalisation and Back) explores digitalised processes in hybrid textile design. The two case studies contribute to the exploration of parametric design thinking as an educational approach and discuss digitalisation and the relations of body, hand and mind in terms of the Vygotskyan ‘zone of proximal development’. This content was synthesised for a workshop on surface patterns for third-year bachelor design students. The paper identifies some potentials and pitfalls of this pedagogical approach and concludes that students’ awareness of conformity and diversity in the design process can be used as a starting point to explore digital surface patterns, offering students a new way of learning about function, aesthetics and product semantics through parametric design thinking.

  • Fashion and Textile Design Using Emotion and Personality
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by ZENODO Fashion and Textile Design Using Emotion and Personality Wendy Moody, Fashion Retail and Design, Department of Textiles and Paper, UMIST – UK Peter Kinderman, Department of Clinical Psychology, University of Liverpool – UK Abstract Good design should engage personality and emotion. Using appropriate psychological approaches to the measurement of both personality and emotion offers a humanitarian approach to design. From a design perspective this project explores the preliminary development of the traditional design process or formula, using psychological methods to inform the process. ‘By describing the individual’s standing on each of the five factors [of personality], we can provide a comprehensive sketch that summarises his or her emotional, interpersonal, experimental, attitudinal, and motivational style’, (Costa & McCrae, 1985). Emotion, once experienced, will create or enhance either a positive or negative mood affect (Watson & Tellegen, 1985). Mood affect has been strongly associated with personality. If the designer is more aware of their own personality and emotional self, by fusing emotion, mood, personality and an understanding of the self-concept in the design process it could help the designer offer an alternative and informed method of tailoring a product to an individual. Drawing upon data collected from a short project carried out by Level One students in fashion and textile design, and examples of the first author’s visualization work, we explore how fashion/textile design concepts reflect personality, how they capture emotion and mood, and how this information can be used to inform the design process or even be used to develop design and retail services.

With this, the Twelfth Conference on Design Principles and Practices, we wanted to prompt some reflection on the traditional boundaries collapsing between people, things, ideas, and places in the face of new forces of technological, political, social, and cultural evolution. Often it seems that we are losing our awareness of what could be our future and our role and responsibility to participate in its building.
