Bearing in mind the absence of specific legal norm on “fashion design” and the lack of expertise of ourjudges, Brazilian courts have recognized some degree of protection for designs granted by the fashion industry.They do not deny protection, as the North Americans who exclude the utilitarian aspects, nor even declarerights as vast as in French law. The trend of the judged in Brazil is in an intermediate position. That is, they aimto encourage innovation, on the one hand, and on the other, limit copying, requiring incremental elements toprovide protection.

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.

Practical Implications

Fit is one of the major concerns for the clothing industry, and pattern development process is significant during clothing manufacturing and the way clothing is constructed. Various pattern making methods have been introduced to the industry considering clothing fit satisfaction, but it is still impossible to provide the optimized clothing pattern for mass production. The aim of this paper is practical implications about 3D virtual fit simulation technology as a fit assessment tool in the fashion industry i.e. to predict the behavior of women's pants in relation to fitting and comfort in different poses of avatar. This was done by application CAD Clo 3D fashion design software.

The Relationship

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.

Coco Channel, Yves Saint Laurent, Gianni Versace, and Thomas Burberry, all iconic names that are synonymous with fashion and the fashion industry. Further, they are all European designers. From Paris Fashion Week to Milan Fashion Week, Europe is arguably the center of emerging fashion. It can be theorized that the reason for strong intellectual property rights within the European Union (EU), in the area of fashion design, is due to the significance of the fashion industry within Europe. Within the EU, there has long been a recognition of the significance of design protection, which sets its IP protection apart from other places in the world. Several of the protections that the EU has implemented can be traced back historically to attempts by the countries in the region to protect their textile markets, and to protect regional innovations which were being developed within early textile industries. Even in the early stages of the EU's history, there were attempts to create uniformity within the area of design. The desire to create uniformity in this area is continuous, but Brexit threatens a path towards uniformity.

Fashion design with ecology orientation has become a trend because of the environmental crisis. In recent years, ecological and environmental crisis has become a big issue. With our social and economical activities development, human beings have consumed so many natural resources that it has created the crisis on ecology and environment. In 21 century, ecological fashion industry has become a booming industry. The fashion design has entered a new era of putting people first and going green design. The consciousness of cost effectively consumption has been recognized all over the world. Compared with that in developed countries, the development of ecological design is relatively late and slow in China. China has a big room in developing ecological fashion industry. This paper would analyze the issues of Going Green Fashion Design by making research on ecological materials and fabrics, virtual efforts, and wearing method. Ecological fashion design has created a new room for both fashion designers and fashion enterprises. Fashion industry has confronted a Going Green Reform, which makes us better health and better life. Efficiently using limited nature resources is most important concept for all designers. Fashion designers should take this as their duties and responsibilities.

This research examines the construction of narratives in fashion design. The intent is to explore how narratives emerge through this practice and how they impact the process of creation and making of fashion artefacts. It is constructed around a series of interviews with three fashion designers whose work reflects the importance of narratives as essential tools in their practice. All participants currently occupy a position in the fashion industry and have significant experiences that allowed them to share and express this area of their work. The analysis of these interviews forms the basis of a short documentary as well as the making of an art piece that are intended to encourage dialogue and deeper reflection about the ways in which narratives manifest themselves in the process of fashion design and how these they are later translated through the fashion industry. It examines how narratives can be used to generate meanings throughout the conception and production of garments and how these meanings can sensitize the consumers to the stories behind the clothes that they wear.

Area Of Concern

Massive Online Open Courses (MOOC) provides a flexible and engaging learning environment. A MOOC in Apparel Technology facilitates a comprehensive e-Learning platform, with a variety of instructional videos and technical resources, which will foster a technical foundation in pattern cutting and sewing for learners. Apparel technology is a core skill for fashion design students; however, universities only address a limited range of construction techniques within their curriculum. Students work towards model size apparel for their graduate fashion shows, which limit the learner’s knowledge in developing apparel for different body shapes. A MOOC in Apparel Technology would facilitate learners with the skills and knowledge to develop apparel for different sizes and figure shapes, with fit assessment and problem-based forums on fit solutions. With many retailers now providing a global platform for the sales of clothing, the sizing of women’s clothing is an area of concern in the fashion industry, ‘one size does not fit all’. The inconsistencies in garment sizing can contribute to the dissatisfaction of garment fit, leaving women unable to find, or know, what size fits their body shape. MOOC incorporates an innovative design and e-Learning platform, in a less structured approach, which harnesses learning in an interactive setting, with online interactions prompting learners to collaborate, share ideas and examples, in a less structured environment.
