Fashion from innovative metal textiles for public figures in Europe

Abstract

This article is part of the research on “Innovation in Metal Textile Technology from Culture Towards Creative Fashion Products” with budget support from the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT) for the year 2023, with the objective of finding guidelines for designing clothing that is appropriate for the target group of public figures in European countries. and to find ways to develop innovative metal textiles that can protect against environmental hazards.

            This research is mixed-methods research. During qualitative research, it includes surveying the characteristics of the target group before creating creative designs for the target group. and quantitative research, including statistical analysis and data collection in experimental processes. Along with the process of experimentation and design thinking using artistic principles to create innovative metal textiles for the public in European countries. The research process is divided into five steps, including the study of data and concepts from related theories, data analysis, and the and the experimental process. Summary of design guidelines and development of creative prototypes, which research found Designing for the image of the target group of public figures in European countries There is a popularity of elegant, luxurious clothing, emphasizing image promotion and the use of color tones that are not flashy. Emphasis is placed on the characteristics of exquisite tailoring and draping to create dimension. Conforms to metallic textiles, giving them a luxurious, shiny appearance. It also has stronger environmental protection properties than general silk. Research must develop innovations that are consistent with needs and use development concepts from cross-disciplinary experiments. Integrating research tools to collect data and the use of sciences other than fine arts are involved. To make creative prototypes effective, appropriate, and in demand today.
