Learning outcomes
The assigned topic of the subject responds to contemporary, experimental textile and fashion design development, especially to new available technologies and materials, which are mainly research and development results across the faculty of Textile Engineering. In the (this) surface fabric, based partly on experimental production, it is possible to apply laser technology, machine embroidery, technically demanding jacquard weaving and knitting technology and digital printing, in conjunction with the respective SW pattern processing. The proposals are based on the conditions of the respective technology. The fashion collection is based on creative art work with materials, including the use of non-traditional, developmental or available smart materials (luminescent, electrically conductive or metallic fiber, smart thermo- or photochromic dyes, etc.). These elements are designed as sensors or unconventional sample effect.
