Fashion is a powerful communicative tool; a timeless and universal instrument of cultural transmission. As a visual language that we use to communicate and transmit our ideas about ourselves as individuals, as well as our culture and our society, fashion has the power to influence and helps to inform and create the institutions around which our lives are based. Nothing is untouched by fashion; the global economy, our cultural identities and our very notions of self. As such fashion, as a creative discipline, has the power to innovate and transform everything with it comes into contact with. At the conference we debated this stimulating theme in detail, looking at how the influence of ‘fashion’ has evolved over time and how, by gaining a better understanding of its power, we can use it to enhance the quality of our lives and the improve the world we live in. We explored sub- themes such as fashion and happiness, interrogating the psychology of fashion, its effects on our individual cognition and interpersonal relations, as well as fashion as a force for technological advancement, education and transformation. The conference attracted over 110 delegates from fashion technology institutes around the world as well as a number of representatives from the fashion industry. The distinguished key note speakers included: Takeshi Hirouchi (Chairman, Japan Apparel Fashion, Industry Council; Chairman, Council of Industry-Academia Collaboration on Textiles and Fashion; Representative Director, Chairman and President, Onward Holdings Co., Ltd.), Susumu Kataoka (Director of Textile and Clothing Industries, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry), Hiroyuki Horihata and Makiko Sekiguchi (Designers of matohu) and Prof. Zeshu Takamura (Professor of Advanced Fashion Design and Head of the Fashion Illustration Laboratory, Faculty of Fashion Science, Bunka Gakuen University Graduate School; Lecturer, Tokyo Institute of Technology). All of the keynote speakers gave insightful presentations and I would like to thank them for their valuable contributions. Other highlights included the presentation of over 28 academic papers by faculty from member institutions, a tour of the Bunka Gakuen campus, Bunka Fashion Textile Research Laboratory and the Digital Human Research Centre. Delegates were also invited to hear from eminent guest speaker, Yohji Yamamoto, as part of the Bunka Fashion Graduate University Fashion Week Seminar. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the organising committee and staff at Bunka Gakuen for all their hard work and for making us feel so welcome. My particular thanks also go to Tina Guglielmino (Deputy Head of Vocational Education & Training at RMIT Australia and former Chair of IFFTI) for her insight and guidance and to Commodore Vijay Chaturvedi (Retd.) for his untiring hard work and support as Secretary-General of IFFTI. One of the aims of IFFTI when it was founded in 1999 was to serve as an international forum for the exchange of ideas and collaborative research and development in fashion design, technology and business and related industries. I am confident that the 2014 IFFTI conference at Bunka Gakuen has successfully met this aim. And I look forward to attending many more successful conferences in the years to come as IFFTI continues to fulfil an important role in global fashion education. INTRODUCTION Sunao Onuma 7 CHAIRMAN, BUNKA GAKUEN EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION, JAPAN Following on from Los Angeles in 2013, it was a great honor to host the 16th Annual Conference for the International Foundation of Fashion Technology Institutes (IFFTI), which was held at Bunka Gakuen Educational Foundation in Tokyo, from January 27 until 31, 2014. This year’s set theme – “The Power of Fashion” – was chosen to inspire all delegates to think about how the power of fashion has evolved over time and the contribution it has made to build a better world for future generations. The conference proposed contributions from experts, academics and professionals all passionate about addressing the conference theme in its full entirety. Takeshi Hirouchi, Chairman of the Japan Apparel Fashion Industry Council, the Council of Industry-Academia Collaboration on Textiles and Fashion opened the official proceedings by outlining the prosperous outlook of the fashion business in Japan. Japan’s future role to play in the global fashion and apparel industry was then addressed by Susumu Kataoka, Director of Textile and Clothing Division Manufacturing Industries Bureau Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. The following day, Japanese Designer duo Matohu, Bunka Fashion College alumni, Hiroyuki Horihata and Makiko Sekiguchi spoke about our current age of globalization and the importance of designers to search for a real originality within the aesthetics of one’s local culture. They were followed by Professor Zeshu Takamura of Bunka Gakuen University who spotlighted the current Japanese fashion which derived from ‘Japanese pop culture’. During the course of the conference a broad range of social; economic; business; industry; technology; culture; and educational subjects were focused upon with many academic paper presentations addressing the theme and the subsequent sub-themes which resulted in stimulating discussions and exchanging of ideas. Throughout the course of the conference

  • Color Basics for Landscapes
    Landscapae Nov. 2006 L-18 Color Basics for Landscapes Melvin Wong, Department of Tropical Plant and Soil Sciences he topic of color can become very complicated. This Twelve hues of the color wheel Tpublication introduces some basic concepts of color theory and some ideas about our reactions to color that Primary colors may be applicable to choices we make when choosing Yellow plants for landscapes. Red We see only a small portion of the total electromag­ Blue netic spectrum. We cannot see ultraviolet or infrared light, X-rays, gamma rays, microwaves, radar, or waves Secondary colors from television or FM, AM, or short-wave radio. What Orange (yellow-red) we perceive as “visible” is light waves of a limited range Purple (red-blue) of wavelengths. We “see” these light waves when they Green (blue-yellow) are reflected from objects to the retinas at the back of our eyes. We see black when nothing is reflected, and Tertiary colors white when all visible-wavelength light is reflected. We Yellow-orange (saffron or amber) see red when all light is absorbed except red, blue when Orange-red (vermillion or terra-cotta) all light is absorbed except blue, and yellow when all Red-purple (magenta or fuchsia) light is absorbed except yellow. Purple-blue (navy or royal blue) Twelve basic colors form the color wheel, which was Blue-green (teal) invented by color theorists to help us think about color. Green-yellow (chartreuse) The twelve colors are called hues. Three colors (yellow, red, and blue) are called primary colors because you cannot mix other colors to make them.

  • Florence Nelson Kennedy FASHION ILLUSTRATOR
    ^sp-""* ' Florence Nelson Kennedy FASHION ILLUSTRATOR Pat Kennedy Crump lorence Nelson Kennedy often called herself a "stubborn Swede." Determined would have been a better description. She started to draw at an early age and loved doing it; she ac­ knowledged that she was an artist and deter­ Fmined to pursue a career in fashion illustration. At first, she may not have known that this ambition had great potential in her time. In the early decades of the twentieth century, opportunities were plentiful for commercial artists of all types, as advertising and pub­ lishing depended heavily on illustration, rather than photography. One means of preparing for such a career, espe­ cially for students who lived far from metropolitan ar­ eas, was instruction by mail. Universities had proven that home study was an excellent method of training, but it was a new idea in the field of commercial art. The Federal School of Commercial Designing, estab­ lished in Minneapolis in 1914, was adapted from a thor­ ough course employed by the Bureau of Engraving, a Minneapolis printing and engraving firm. Early school advertisements drew immediate responses, and the firm's success grew. The school started thousands of artists on successful careers, and Florence Nelson Ken­ nedy was one of them.'

Modi College, Patiala. [email protected] [email protected] Abstract India has very rich and varied textile heritage. The languages and dialects, foods and culture change every 80-100 kilometers. Each region of India is having a very unique traditional costumes and accessories. Therefore, every region has a different view of fashion which makes its fashion as diverse as the culture and traditions of the country. The fashion in India is not only confined within the limits of the country but a perfect touch of western culture can also be witnessed in the developed and some underdeveloped cities of the country; and all this has been done by Indian Film Industry-“Bollywood” only.

  • A Study of Fashion Art Illustration
    Journal of Fashion Business Vol. 6, No. 3. pp.94~109(2002) A Study of Fashion Art Illustration Kang, Hee-Myung and Kim, Hye-Kyung* Lecturer, Doctoral, Dept. of Fashion Design, Dongduk Women’s University Professor, Dept. of Fashion Design, Dongduk Women’s University* Abstract The advent of the information age, advancement of the multi-media, and proliferation of internet are all ushering-in a new era of a cyber world. The artistic expression is unfolding into a new genre of a new era.. In the modern art, the boundary between the fine art and the applied art is becoming blurred, and further, distinction of fine art from popular art is also becoming meaningless. The advancement of science and technology, by offering new materials and visual forms, is contributing to the expansion of the morden art’s horizon. As fashion illustration is gaining recognition as a form of art which mirrors today’s realities, it has also become increasingly necessary to add variety and newness. Fashion illustration is thus becoming the visual language of the modern world, capable of conveying artistic emotion, and at the same time able to effectively communicate the image of fashion to the masses. The increasing awareness of artistic talent and ingenuity as essential components of fashion illustration is yielding greater fusion between fashion illustration and art &technology. This has resulted in the use of the advanced computer technology as a tool for crafting artistic expressions, such as fashion illustration, and this new tool has opened-up new possibilities for expressing images and colors. Further, the computer-aided fashion illustration is emerging as a new technique for expression.

  • Color Book Unformatted
    New & Revised - Includes Genesis Heat Set Oils 1 PREFACE There seems to be a mystique about mixing colors. The novice painter procrastinates or delgates this responsibility to a paint manufacturer bu tultimately the day arrives when the painter wants to take control of the palette colours. This can happen only when the painter takes the responsi- bility to learn to mix colour. Mixing colour is very exciting. The knowledge of how to control and create colour is the ultimate in creativity. It is not difficult to master, but it will take time, patience, practice, but most of all desire. The intent of this book is to provide a guide to mixing colour. It is my hope that it will be useful regardless of whether the preferred medium is oil, alkyd, acrylic, watercolour, pastel, pencil or coloured ink. Colour theory applies to all media. All that differs is technique. Colour is so closely interwoven with the other four basic elements of art that it would be impossible to discuss colour without examining its rela- tionship to line, form, texture and space. The importance of colour to har- mony and composition are also inseparable, as are chemistry and tem- perature. Please understand that colour reproduction of a paint mixture in printed form is almost always inaccurate. Every effort has been made to provide the highest quality of photography, colour separations and printing. How- ever, it is not possible to duplicate the myriad nuances of paint with only five colours of printer’s ink. Furthermore, oil reflects the light differently than acrylic. Pencil and watercolour have their own individual properties.
