  • New Textiles Inspired by Ikat - by Christina Maschke Degree Project Master of Fine Arts in Fashion and Textile Design with Specialization in Textile Design
    THE PATTERNED THREAD - new textiles inspired by ikat - by Christina Maschke Degree Project Master of Fine Arts in Fashion and Textile Design with Specialization in Textile Design Title The patterned thread - new textiles inspired by ikat Author Christina Maschke Supervisor Margareta Zetterbloom Opponent Malene Kristiansen Examiner Hanna Landin Report No. 2016.6.05 The Swedish School of Textiles University of Borås Sweden Abstract The work of this MA thesis develops a new ap- proach to hand weaving in which the design pro- cess is led by the technique of resistant dyeing. The process is inspired by the visual properties of traditional ikats. It follows the technical ikat procedure of primary resistant dyeing and sub- sequently weaving. Whithin the research a new way of weaving is explored in which the dyed thread dictates the weaving process and therefore influences the weaving motif. In addition different design variables such as material, binding pattern and finishing are used to push forward the devel- oped concept. The aim of this work is to explore new aesthetic expressions between regular and irregular motifs through the application of design thinking. The result presents an innovative approach in the ikat technique in order to create random distrib- uted patterns and how they can be already influ- enced in the stage of yarn preparation.

Old Ties and New Points Keiko Kobayashi This paper discusses the development and technical transfer of what is perhaps the world's tiniest double ikat, Kasuri, developed in Japan after the Meiji restoration of 1868. Around the early 20th century, Japanese Kasuri was at the zenith of its quality, in creating geometric as well as pictorial designs using a very advanced form of color and weave effect. There were three reasons for this development during this period. The first reason was in the improvement of the "Orijime" technique which is a uniquely Japanese method in making kasuri threads using the loom. The second reason was the importation of knowledge from Lyon, France, on how to use graph paper which greatly contributed to making the designs of the finished textile products more sophisticated and pictorial. The third reason was social in that during this period, there was a rise in the demand for clothing in Japan as the country was becoming modernized.

  • Building Best Practices for Fashion Design Pedagogy: Meaning, Preparation, and Impact
    Steven Faerm Building best practices for fashion design pedagogy: meaning, preparation, and impact Fecha de recepción: julio 2014 Building best practices for fashion Fecha de aceptación: marzo 2015 Versión final: julio 2015 design pedagogy: meaning, preparation, and impact Steven Faerm * Summary: Historically, universities have adopted a “sink or swim” approach with their hiring of art and design faculty. After years of professional experience, these new faculty enter classrooms without pedagogical training and are expected to succeed as educators. However, designing product and educating students require significantly different skill- sets. Additionally, faculty challenges are radically increased due to the seismic changes occurring in design education, the evolving student generation, and the increasingly volatile professional world for which students must be trained. Through trial and error, new faculty often rely on outdated teaching methods used during their own undergraduate experiences. This lack of faculty preparation negatively impacts programs, the graduates’ preparation, and ultimately our design industries. This article will discuss the critical need for tomorrow’s art and design faculty to acquire –and master– solid pedagogical skills if they are to successfully educate and train future designers. This study aims to provide fashion design educators and program directors with awareness for the importance of providing pedagogy support for new faculty in order to strengthen the students’ learning. Key words: design education - design pedagogy - student development - teaching - fashion design - fashion industry - Parsons - faculty - higher education.

    Artifacts of Diplomacy: Smithsonian Collections from Commodore Matthew Perry's Japan Expedition (1853-1854) CHANG-SU HOUCHINS SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY • NUMBER 37 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through trie years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

    5.3-Gupta,M 2:Layout 1 4/9/07 10:58 Page 314 Extreme fashion: Pushing the boundaries of design, technology and business 314 Fashion education – fast forward Mona Gupta Abstract The audience views some exquisitely created textiles from India and some basic questions are placed before them, followed by a case study of the Indian Kota Doria fabric. This prelude brings forth the grim reality of the textile and clothing industry today, in India and many other nations. The multiplicity of markets and insatiable consumer wants has already necessitated a faster pace and with the advent of machines, many of the hand skills have already subsided, thus severing these very basic links in this evolutionary supply chain of fashion. Where does this lead us? 1. The inevitable need for speed. 2. Spiralling prices and profits beyond an extreme, and yet the weaver perishes. 3. While the industry incomes are increasing the weaver and the workers survive in near, and even extreme, sweat shop conditions. 4. Classroom-educated fashionists still cannot replace the real creator, for even the most basic skills are often waived and paid as low sklled tasks. Hence, the apprehension that the extreme nature of the runaway fashion industry is leading to an ‘appar’theid’ of an extreme kind – in terms of income, education and social implications. So is it a case of human sensitivities, or there is a hardcore practical business strategy underlying this whole exercise for the fashion industry? We thus conducted a survey, which proves the latter. And with this backdrop, the paper moves on to elucidate our strategy for the future.
