Para tal, é realizada uma avaliação da utilização desse tipo de representação gráfica no âmbito industrial, ou seja, sua utilização no contexto industrial de vestuário local. A pesquisa baseou-se em uma fundamentação teórica acerca do papel da representação gráfica no design e no design de moda, que norteou a construção de um protocolo, que foi aplicado a seis designers de moda, atuantes em empresas de confecção diferentes da cidade de Londrina e região. Integrando os resultados dessa pesquisa de campo concomitante às análises de fundamentação teórica aplicadas no âmbito acadêmico e pesquisa bibliográfica, têm-se então uma visão geral das necessidades das empresas no que tange o desenho de moda. A partir destas necessidades delimitadas ocorre uma comparação das mesmas com as ementas, buscando atingir uma congruência de resultados que satisfaça as necessidades mercadológicas sem desvincular-se dos valores acadêmicos fundamentais / Research shows itself as an instrument to propose a reassessment of menus related to the design of the disciplines included in the course of Fashion Design at the Universidade Estadual de Londrina. For such an evaluation is perfomed using this type of graphical representation in the industrial field, ei its use in context of local garment industry.

Thesis (BTech (Fashion Design)--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2010 / The study within my context is one of a personal nature with regards to the suitable selection of fabrics for a ladies clothing range. I've always played around with the idea of designing a ladies clothing range using hessian as my fabric of choice, not for any particular reason in mind just simply, ... ."that's what I felt like doing at the time", this however was not received well, it was considered by lecturers, my peers and family members, as an inappropriate selection of fabric for a ladies clothing range. This lead me into thinking that as a designer I am bound by design ideals which restricts my creativity to explore and experiment. Is it then not a possibility that I could set my own design ideal? Given the negativity surrounding such a proposal, I chose to research this concept regardless, that is after all what research is about, exploration and experimentation. I chose to follow in the footsteps of the late Gabrielle "CoCo" Chane!. "In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different." Chanel(icelebz.com,2009)

Scoliosis of the spine is defined as a side-to-side deviation from the normal frontal axis of the body resulting in body asymmetry, and as a complex, three-dimensional and multifaceted deformity, not only affects a female adolescent’s appearance - fit, usability and appearance of clothing - but can also compromise her health and ability to function. Scoliosis affects at least 2.9% of the population in Greece, appearing particularly among children aged 8-14 years, and more frequently in girls (9 girls for 1 boy). This study traces previous initiatives and current provision for clothing people with divergent body figures, exploring issues at the intersection of human anatomy and fashion, while it takes place in Greece, starting with measuring procedures specifically adapted for body asymmetry that comply with the appropriate code of ethics. External body measurements provide non-invasive evaluation of changes in external asymmetry due to scoliosis, while analysis of the measurements related to the trunk can document the asymmetry arising from the different types and degrees of spinal curvature, providing a 3D classification of scoliotic deformities. Both right and left body halves of 75 females aged 16-22 years of age, diagnosed with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), are measured in order to register their different body shapes and to classify them in different scoliotic groups, according to the magnitude and type of their scoliosis. The asymmetric basic pattern blocks derived from the median body measurements for each scoliotic group will be more tolerant of bodies with scoliosis, providing a better garment fit than conventional symmetrical patterns. These new ‘blocks’ will have the potential to be used in mass production, after the development of sizing systems based on body asymmetry, whereby an ‘aesthetic’ and an ‘ethical’ dimension in design could be then incorporated. Applying auto-ethnography, as well as using participant observation and interviewing methods, this research will help gain a deeper understanding of the culture and the needs of the specific target group. Future challenges relate to design perspectives of fashionable clothing for females with non-standard body dimensions, with particular emphasis on scoliosis, having potential for wider application in mass customised apparel for scoliosis.

El presente proyecto de carteras para mujeres estudiantes de universidades e institutos y amas de casa nos ha permitido validar el problema asumido en base a información recopilada en el análisis al sector al que se dirige nuestro producto, el NSE “C”. De esta manera, logramos detectar que las mujeres pertenecientes a este nivel no contaban con los recursos necesarios para adecuarse al cambiante mundo de la moda. En la actualidad, el sector de la moda y la belleza presenta cambios constantemente, debido a que existen diversos diseñadores y marcas que año tras año lanzan nuevos productos al mercado, generando tendencia y atracción por parte de las mujeres de todo el mundo. Sin embargo, existen muchas categorías de productos en este sector que presentan precios muy elevados para personas que reciben una remuneración mínima o que no generan ingresos mensuales. A partir de ello, se analizaron los diferentes productos ofrecidos en este sector, siendo las carteras producto elegido para su elaboración y venta, debido a que es muy requerido por las mujeres y se espera que su nivel de consumo aumente en los siguientes años. Queen Bags lanzará al mercado un amplio catálogo de carteras elaboradas en base a los gustos y preferencias de los clientes. Asimismo, destacará por la variedad de diseños ofrecidos, el lanzamiento de nuevos catálogos por cada estación y la relación calidad-precio de los productos finales. El negocio iniciará sus operaciones en el año 2019 y para su puesta en marcha los accionistas realizarán una inversión total de S/12,719 conformada por la compra de activos y aporte de efectivo. / The present project of handbags for women students of universities and institutes and housewives has allowed us to validate the problem assumed based on information gathered in the analysis to the sector to which our product is directed, the NSE "C". In this way, we managed to detect that women belonging to this level did not have the necessary resources to adapt to the changing world of fashion. Currently, the fashion and beauty sector are constantly changing, because there are several designers and brands that year after year launch new products to the market, generating trend and attraction for women around the world. However, there are many categories of products in this sector that present very high prices for people who receive a minimum remuneration or who do not generate monthly income. From this, the different products offered in this sector were analyzed, with the bags being the product chosen for its preparation and sale, because it is very required by women and it is expected that its level of consumption will increase in the following years. Queen Bags will launch to the market a wide catalog of handbags elaborated based on the tastes and preferences of the clients. Likewise, it will stand out for the variety of designs offered, the launching of new catalogs for each station and the quality-price ratio of the final products. The business will start operations in 2019 and for its start-up the shareholders will make a total investment of S/12,719 formed by the purchase of assets and cash contribution. / Trabajo de investigación

This project examines the changing world of fashion in an interactive digital magazine format. In the past few years, fashion has increasingly been democratizing, as new designers and forms of media increasingly gain influence. Ready-to-wear designers are working with lower-end brands through collaborations, redefining what each brand is supposed to do, while blogging is allowing those whose voices are usually unheard to openly critique and influence fashion. Overall, they are creating a more democratized space, challenging what was once normal in the fashion industry.

The purpose of this study was to better understand the role of design in the product development process in the apparel industry in the United States, looking for variations in how design is used in the industry. In order to obtain a snapshot of the fashion design industry, creativity, originality, innovation, and product development were examined, as well as corporate culture and strategic orientation. The study also sought to examine pedagogical strategies based on these findings. A mixed methods approach, consisting of an on-line survey and interviews, was employed. The findings suggest variations in the role of design based on the time design-department employees spent on creative tasks. These variations were examined and industrial and pedagogical implications are explored. The significance of this study relates to the findings of the importance of creativity in the product development process of the apparel industry in the United States, as well as considerations for pedagogical strategies.
