Aim of the article – to analyze a geometric shape construction and transforming opportunities in women clothing design.This article studies and explains the Latgale national costume and modern high fashion applied the geometrical shape of women's clothing designs. Latvian national costumes are very important and nationally unique cultural heritage and they are divided into archaeological and ethnographic folk costumes. Nowadays, the fashion industry is a global industry that has the effect of the clothing and every season changing trends. It is used in a variety of shapes, occasionally repetitive fashion, or has become classics. The study shows that Latgale folk costume construction mainly consists of a rectangular geometric shapes and high fashion is used in similar design collection development. Latgale folk costume design consists of a rectangular geometric shapes where the fabric is made directly for the intended product, creating a 100% material utilization. As time has passed by national costume of the basic design has remained, but has evolved development methods and more user-friendly technology that facilitates product manufacturing and usage. Fashion designers create a certain time and place topical seasonal clothing patterns. There is a tendency to return to a more permissive cuts and drops in order to feel comfortable in any situation with an emphasis on garments function just as the ancestors of Latgale.

Fashion color trends are an essential marketing element that directly affect brand sales. Organizations such as Pantone have global authority over professional color standards by annually forecasting color palettes. However, the question remains whether fashion designers apply these colors in fashion shows that guide seasonal fashion trends. This study analyzed image data from fashion collections through machine learning to obtain measurable results by web-scraping catwalk images, separating body and clothing elements via machine learning, defining a selection of color chips using k-means algorithms, and analyzing the similarity between the Pantone color palette (16 colors) and the analysis color chips. The gap between the Pantone trends and the colors used in fashion collections were quantitatively analyzed and found to be significant. This study indicates the potential of machine learning within the fashion industry to guide production and suggests further research expand on other design variables.

India has a rich cultural heritage of costume, art and crafts. Since decades highly developed civilizations continue to produce remarkable, eminent and ornate textiles with its distinct patterns, designs and motifs having different placements and layouts. However, escalating demands of consumers requires modication in the fashion industry with respect to design, motifs, colours, style and technique. Fashion designers used to take their inspiration from architectural buildings normally to create new clothing silhouettes. The researcher attempts to connect between 'fashion' and 'architecture', which can serve as fashion element for designers. The research attempts to document and digitize of the motifs of this architectural wonders. The purpose of the study was an attempt to interpret the technique of the beautiful inlay work of the Taj Mahal and its application to the textiles for high fashion garments. In process of designing various pictures of inlay work were documented which were classied into three categories, namely cut-away lattice, inlay and embossed carving.

Abstract A unified method for extracting geometric shape features from binary image data using a steady-state partial differential equation (PDE) system as a boundary value problem is presented in this paper. The PDE and functions are formulated to extract the thickness, orientation, and skeleton simultaneously. The main advantage of the proposed method is that the orientation is defined without derivatives and thickness computation is not imposed a topological constraint on the target shape. A one-dimensional analytical solution is provided to validate the proposed method. In addition, two-dimensional numerical examples are presented to confirm the usefulness of the proposed method. Highlights A steady state partial differential equation for extraction of geometrical shape features is formulated. The functions for geometrical shape features are formulated by the solution of the proposed PDE. Analytical solution is provided in one-dimension. Numerical examples are provided in two-dimension.

Prior to the introduction of mobile technologies and the internet, the manual system of going to a brick-and-mortar store to buy clothing was boring and tiresome as customers would spend hours moving from shop to shop trying to find the exact type of outfit they are looking for. The assimilation of technology in fashion designing and online marketing of clothing is marking an incredible venture in the fashion industry. Due to improved security features of online purchasing a lot of people now prefer buying clothing online since it saves time and online shopping provides variety at a click. This paper reviews several ways in which technology is transforming the fashion industry.  However this subject has not been researched in detail therefore there is a missing gap in the literature. We hope that this paper will fill the gap in the literature in order to review the role that technology is playing in the fashion industry. Information provided in this paper is beneficial to fashion designers, entrepreneurs in the fashion industry, information technology specialists as well as other researchers interested in a similar area of study.Keywords: Technology, fashion, virtual fitting room, wearable technology, virtual wardrobe.

This thesis examines the ways in which fashion designers think about themselves, the design process, and the fashion industry. Recent interest in design thinking has brought decision making to the forefront in an effort to resolve conflicts between creative individuals and managers during the design process. Within the fashion design literature there are studies of processes in large fashion manufacturing enterprises but very little has focused on small-scale fashion design entrepreneurs. In this inductive, qualitative study, I use grounded theory as the methodology in the analysis of semi-structured interviews of twelve Canadian fashion design entrepreneurs. The findings explore their perceptions of their identity as designers, their perceptions of design process, and their relationship to their business. This research has developed the concept of “artisanal fashion design” as a distinct subset of design for further study and for consideration by organizations, the fashion industry, and educators.

The purpose of the work is to determine the main art and compositional solutions of pop art prints of prints for further design of author's prints and the development of creative collections of modern women's clothing. To achieve this goal, special features, art and figurative features of pop art style prints were structured, a visual analytical and comparative analytical analysis of the collections of women's and men's clothing in the style of pop art for the spring-summer 2019 and 2020 seasons was carried out. Highlighted the characteristic compositional solutions of modern prints in the style of pop art in clothing (lettering; drawings of murals; comics, collages and subject images; lines and color combinations) are highlighted, a comparative analysis of the use of stylistic features of pop art in men's and women's clothing collections of spring summer 2019-2020 seasons. Recommendations for the development of prints for promising collections of women's clothing for the spring-summer 2020 season suggest the use of small images, not on the entire plane of the product, the repetition of individual image elements, it is recommended to use subject image of consumer goods, food, comics or lettering. The scientific novelty lies in the study and systematization of compositional and visual solutions of prints in the style of pop art in the collections of modern fashion designers. Based on the definition of fashion trends and the main art and figurative features of prints in the pop art style, author's prints and a collection of women's clothing have been developed.

Purpose of the article. Based on a critical analysis of the material and analysis of the origin and formation of the fashion industry in Ukraine to determine its components and characterize the principles of their work. Methodology. The specifics of the study logically affected its methodological principles. Accordingly, methods such as analysis, synthesis, analogy, as well as comparative-historical and systemic approaches were used. Such a methodological basis allowed us to compare the formation and development of the fashion industry in Ukraine and abroad in historical, cultural, and fashion discourses. The scientific novelty of the work is to determine the components of the fashion industry of Ukraine, its development, and its role in the development of national culture and preservation of national identity. Conclusions. The birth of the fashion industry has taken place in Ukraine since the 1990s. In Ukraine, doing business with key players in the market of the fashion industry, those who actually perform the function of fashion designers differ from the world's traditional forms. It can be concluded that in Ukraine it is possible to distinguish between companies that position themselves as a trademark, as well as companies that act as design brands that often work on tolling schemes.

This article discusses the mobilization of the nation for fashion, based on how the relationship between fashion and nation unfolds in the case of fashion design practice and the fashion industry in Denmark. The otherwise globalized fashion industry is equally involved in what I term “catwalking the nation,” both as a way to construct a cosmopolitan nationalist discourse for the post-industrial nation and as a strategy for local fashion industries to promote collective identity in order to strengthen potential market share, which is the focus of this article. What may at first appear in the Danish case as an absurd and non-productive relationship is actually significant, I would argue, despite its complexity. It has the potential to stimulate critical fashion design practice and give fashion designers a voice, allowing them to take an active part in contemporary public debates on important issues such as nationalism and cosmopolitanism in the age of globalization.

In this work, the problems of physical modeling of metamaterials based on flat spiral coils with different geometric shapes were considered. The main parameters of the structures metamaterial modeling, methods of creation, as well as their unique properties are considered. As a result of physical modeling, structures were obtained that model the metamaterial with different values of dimensions and parameters. On the basis of the experimental data, the best variant of the geometric shape of the structure element was determined, based on the highest transmission coefficient.
