Textile Science and Fashion Technology Apparel has always been a global industry, from sourcing to manufacturing to shipping. This globalization has proved to be a daunting task when evaluating and monitoring each phase of the supply chain. The apparel industry is largely run by corporations that outsource their production needs resulting in extremely widespread supply chains. The understanding of the supply chain management (SCM) process requires either hands on experience or real time data driven software. This software can be a great asset to university apparel students in learning the process of apparel production from the manufacturing facility to the retail store. When making production decisions for supply chain management, there are two requirements that are necessary: skills and competencies [1]. University curricula provide students the skill knowledge of supply chain management, but competency can only be understood through experiential learning. Experiential learn...

Textile Science and Fashion Technology  Clothing for garments, upholstery and geotextiles are designed through integration factor construction (IFC) are differentiated the system of reed denting; the decrease in the (IFC) means that the open porosity for double-layer fabrics increases and at the same time the air permeability also increases. The properties of fabrics were analyzed by determining the efficiency of fabric integration factor construction (IFC). The woven fabric multi-layer structure, the warp and weft densities, and the type of weave are factors of a woven fabric, which as porous material enables to transmit air, heat energy, and liquid perspiration. Several methods considering thread distributions have been developed to determine the woven fabric’s aesthetic, physical and mechanical properties. A mathematical model based on an ideal geometry of the porous structure of a multi-layer woven fabric has been developed. For More Open Access Journals in Iri...

Textile Science and Fashion Technology Clothing represents one of the most ancient forms of human expression and is a tool that an individual use to express his/her culture and social status in society. Since the dawn of civilization, humans have used fabrics to provide basic warmth and show aesthetics. People gradually added more patterns and styles, creating clothing out of different materials. Today, the U.S. fashion and apparel industry are a $12 billion business, with the average American family spending $1,700 on clothes annually (BLS Data 2018) [1]. The fiber sector of the clothing and textile industry has undergone substantial change in recent years, and the modern fibers have opened a whole new frontier for clothing products. Modern fibers, also known as smart fibers, are becoming a human-centered technology. The smart fabrics will have the capability to see, hear, and sense their surroundings and to respond to the external stimulus through an active control mechanis...

Textile Science and Fashion Technology Activated carbon fiber (ACF) is a novel material that is attracting significant attention. The pore structure found on the surface of ACFs is strongly related to their functionality. ACF production from fiber mixtures is considered to be a useful approach for reusing waste cloth and fibers. However, the use of such mixtures of materials in the preparation of ACF has not been investigated in detail. Here, we describe ACF preparation from fiber mixtures and discuss solutions to a problem encountered during preparation.

Textile Science and Fashion Technology Although print media has recently lost its traction due to the popularity of e-reader and online medium, women’s fashion magazines seem to find their positioning and are expand internationally to capture a larger subscription. They are still widely seen in the waiting rooms of your professional offices. They still serve as a source of fashion trend, lifestyles and social tips. As I teach global marketing, I tell my students about “think global, act local” strategy adopted by corporations. Additionally, I am a travel fanatic and passionate about research in fashion. Then I began to wonder if this “think global, act local” strategy could be true in the case of women’s fashion magazines and their photographic images of fashion clothing. My investigation aims to examine the specific manifestations of clothing and fashion images portrayed in women’s fashion magazines from New York, London and Bangkok. These three metropolitan cities are not on...

Textile Science and Fashion Technology This study aims to demonstrate the creation of an innovative high-fashion collection based on a conceptual fashion design process model. The design process model makes use of understanding the context of design problems, design processes and users in the conceptual design domain. The model is characterized by four phases of design processes, namely investigation, interaction, development and evaluation. Each phase is closely related, connected and interacted with each other. Its focus is on the continuous cyclical design process which can generate an incremental output. By adopting the conceptual design process model, the development of a high-fashion collection is presented in a step-by-step approach. It demonstrates a holistic approach and the orders of importance within the design process, and how it can be rationalized despite the complexities of conceptual fashion design. This experimental activity is meant to provide fashion pra...

Textile Science and Fashion Technology Historical clothing like Badawi’s tunic is a kind of three-dimensional textile. They are exposed to different types of damage as a result of various damage conditions such as faulty display, environmental conditions, air pollution, biological damage. For these historical clothing needs to intervene quickly restoration processes. In the past, there were erroneous repairs to the historical dress. Therefore, the first steps of restoration are to remove the previous faulty repairs.

Journal of Textile Science & Fashion Technology  Clothing fashion technologies, from yarn to clothing, are some of the oldest cultural technologies of humanity, integrated into both the public and domestic space of life [1]. The artistic and cultural imaginary, predominantly feminine, has found an ideal place of expression, because the tradition of social and cultural praxis has a millenary individuality and continuity [2]. In the 21st century, in a context of globalization of economies and technologies, cultural technologies strike a discordant note because they work based on cultural icons, and specific societal imaginary [3]. In this field, Technical engineering, informatic (logic-mathematical) and cultural (cognitive-emotional) languages need to find a common denominator to respond to the complexity of consumers’ demands for modern products. Interdisciplinary approaches should not remain only at academic or technological level, transdisciplinary may be a holis...

Journal of Textile Science & Fashion Technology In this paper, a novel three-dimension (3D) frequency selective fabric (FSF) based on U-shaped velvet, using metallic yarns as the conductive unit material via cluster velvet weaving method, is prepared. U-shaped unit structure is formed by two ending points of the dipole unit extending into the space Z-direction. By testing and analyzing transmission coefficient of specimens, frequency response characteristics are studied. Compared to FSF with dipole unit structure, the new velvet fabrics with the same unit length have double-frequency resonance at 2 -18GHz. With an increase of inclination angle of velvet, the resonance frequency is changed slightly, accompanied by a trend of decreasing first and then stabilizing. The density of conductive yarns is enlarged, and the resonance frequency moves slowly to higher frequency. If the total length of U-shaped unit on the bottom is greater, the resonance frequency will go to lo...

However, use of excessive artificial petroleum-based polymers, fibers, toxic chemical finishes and extensive consumption of energy and water in textile industries pose remarkable threats to the environment. For example, use of toxic solvents like chloroform i...

Textile Science and Fashion Technology Textile and fashion industries are indivisible relation. They are closely interacting components like an organism. The development of textile technology results in the progress of fashion industry and vice versa. Moreover, both are inseparable with natural science, social science, and the arts. In this regard, keeping up with a fashion trend, the researches for dyeing, color, fiber, and textile finishing and treatment have been rigorously performed. Noteworthy is that the textile industry has gradually increased. It has been expected that the textile industry will grow up to 15 billion dollars in 2019. To dominate this market in advance, a differentiated textile has to be developed with the reflection of the fact that people have been dreaming of a better life, a healthy and convenient life. The flexible and portable electronic devices for the wearable healthcare electronics and wearable computer can make the dream come true. In this ligh...

Textile Science & Fashion Technology Running mania has become increasingly prevalent in recent years and its masses is becoming bigger and bigger as well. While, the great majority among them are temporary enthusiastic amateurs, who had little professional training before. They lack specialized knowledge to prevent themselves from injury or fatigue and underestimate the importance of protective running equipment, especially professional running insoles. For example, a certain part of these amateur runners do not know what elements should be considered for better protection and what features should be treated prevailed over the others, when they are choosing professional running insoles. However, there are few researches giving a clear explain on this topic and especially there are entirely different opinions towards professional running insole designs. Therefore, to fill the blank and provide reliable consumer feedbacks for further improvements on professional r...
