Abstract:
The most intuitive and natural approach for building garments takes its inspiration from the traditional garment industry where garments are created from two-dimensional patterns and then seamed together. MIRACloth uses this approach. Working with 2D patterns is the simplest way of keeping an accurate, precise and measurable description and representation for a cloth surface. In the traditional garment and fashion design approach, garments are usually described as a collection of cloth surfaces, tailored in fabric material, along with the description of how these patterns should be seamed together to obtain the final garment. Our virtual garment design system reproduces this approach by providing a framework for accurately designing the patterns with the information necessary for their correct seaming and assembly. Subsequently, these are placed on the 3D virtual bodies and animated along with the virtual actor's motion. In the following sections, we describe the different components — mechanical model, numerical resolution, collision detection and collision response — to develop for the simulation of clothes, then, we provide the different steps and tasks involved in dressing virtual actors, constructing and animating garments on them.

Abstract:
The fields of SocialVR, performance capture, and virtual try-on are often faced with a need to faithfully reproduce real garments in the virtual world. One critical task is the disentanglement of the intrinsic garment shape from deformations due to fabric properties, physical forces, and contact with the body. We propose to use a garment sewing pattern, a realistic and compact garment descriptor, to facilitate the intrinsic garment shape estimation. Another major challenge is a high diversity of shapes and designs in the domain. The most common approach for Deep Learning on 3D garments is to build specialized models for individual garments or garment types. We argue that building a unified model for various garment designs has the benefit of generalization to novel garment types, hence covering a larger design domain than individual models would. We introduce NeuralTailor, a novel architecture based on point-level attention for set regression with variable cardinality, and apply it to the task of reconstructing 2D garment sewing patterns from the 3D point cloud garment models. Our experiments show that NeuralTailor successfully reconstructs sewing patterns and generalizes to garment types with pattern topologies unseen during training.

Abstract:
Unsaleable clothing donated to nonprofit thrift stores continues to pose challenges to the recirculation of goods through the economy. The primary aim of this study was to explore the options available for removing these donations from the waste stream. The San Francisco Garment Repair Pilot was a collaboration among several entities investigating garments donated to San Francisco Goodwill Industries with the potential for cleaning, repair, or redesign and potential sales on e-commerce. Project coordinators sent chosen garments to licensed contractors for mending and cleaning, and students in one university apparel design programme used creative solutions to give damaged goods new life. Due to the custom nature of the repair and redesign, the coordinators deemed outsourcing financially unprofitable. However, the researchers identified that it benefited apparel programmes by widening pedagogical approaches, so the study evolved into a project that incorporated sustainability theories into apparel design curricula as a skillset students can bring to future careers. Results included the realization that customers were more apt to purchase a repaired product when provided with before and after data and that items identified as damaged still generated sales. The outcomes of this project support the relevancy of challenging students to design desirable, sustainable and durable products that adhere to circular economy goals.

This article details eighteenth-century English dressmaking through an in-depth, object-oriented exploration of garment construction practices and techniques from a maker's perspective. Building upon prior scholarship of women's work and aspects of pre-industrial English garment trades, this article employs primary and secondary source materials in conjunction with extensive object-based research of extant garments. The research findings outline exactly how pre-industrial English dressmakers’ skills were nuanced, sophisticated and adaptive to making and remaking, as well as the personal, haptic connections they cultivated with their work.

Abstract:
Promotion of durable materials and products is a common approach to enhance sustainability. However, the effectiveness of such efforts lies on shifts in user behavior and consumption patterns, and these patterns are influenced not only by material aspects but also by social and experiential dimensions. It has been observed that the consumers’ consumption pattern, i.e., post-consumption behavior, is as harmful as production. However, this area remains largely unexplored. The primary purpose of this study is to explore sustainable garment design strategies to enhance emotional durability of garments and reduce pre-consumer and most importantly, the post-consumer waste. For this purpose, 18 garments were produced using ZWPC for pre-consumption waste reduction and DFD for post-consumption waste minimization. Three hypotheses were developed. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through questionnaires and wear trials on the practicality of DFD implementation in garments. The results demonstrated that the combination of these strategies has the potential to curb both pre-consumer and post-consumer waste by designing garments that can enter the biological as well as technical cycle of circular fashion (CF). Furthermore, DFD is a success in increasing the use-life of a garment.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate if accessible luxury fashion brands discriminate overweight and obese consumers. Design/methodology/approach The physical sizes of garments are surveyed in-store and compared to the body sizes of the population. A gap analysis is carried out in order to determine whether the supply of clothes match the demand of each market segment. Findings The surveyed accessible luxury garments come in very small sizes compared to the individuals that make up the population. Research limitations/implications The survey is limited to London stores but the garment sizes are compared to the British population. It is therefore possible that the discrepancies between assortments and the population are in part attributable to geographic and demographic factors. The study’s results are, however, so strikingly clear that even if some of the effects were due to extraneous variables, it would be hard to disregard the poor match between overweight and obese women and the clothes offered to them. Practical implications For symbolic/expressive brands that are conspicuously consumed, that narrowly target distinct and homogenous groups of people in industries where elitist practices are acceptable, companies can build brands via customer rejection. Social implications The results highlight ongoing discrimination of overweight and obese fashion consumers. Originality/value The study is the first to provide quantitative evidence for brand building via customer rejection, and it delineates under which conditions this may occur. This extends the theory of typical user imagery.

Abstract:
The fashion industry is facing increasing pressure to move toward sustainable development, especially with concern to cost and environmental sustainability. Innovative digital technologies are regarded as a promising solution for fashion companies to resolve this issue. In this context, this paper put forth a new 3D reverse garment design approach embedded with a garment fit prediction and structure self-adaptive adjustment mechanism, using machine learning (ML) techniques. Initially, the 3D basic garment was drawn directly on the scanned mannequin of a specific consumer. Next, a probabilistic neural network (PNN) was employed to predict the garment’s fit. Afterwards, genetic algorithms (GA) and support vector regression (SVR) were utilized to estimate and control the garment structural parameters following the feedback of fit evaluation and the consumer’s personalized needs. Meanwhile, a comprehensive evaluation was constructed to characterize the quantitative relationships between the consumer profile and the designed garment profile (garment fit and styles). Ultimately, the desired garment which met the consumer’s needs was obtained by performing the routine of “design–fit evaluation–pattern adjustment–comprehensive evaluation”, iteratively. The experimental results show that the proposed approach provides a new solution to develop quality personalized fashion products (garments) more accurately, economically, and in an environmentally friendly way. It is feasible to facilitate the sustainable development of fashion companies by simultaneously reducing costs and negative impacts on the environment.

Abstract:
With the rapid development of garments recommendation systems, more and more garment knowledge base have been widely developed. The research in this paper aims to build a garment knowledge base in order to help general consumers to identify the most relevant products satisfying their specific requirements. We design four experiments for building this knowledge base by 8 pairs of normalized sensory evaluation criteria for describing both consumers’ expectations and product profile. The theory of fuzzy composition technology is applied for setting up garment knowledge base which can be used for consumer-oriented intelligent garment recommendation system. Compared with the other knowledge base, this knowledge base is more robust and more interpretable owing to its capacity of handling vague, imprecise, uncertain, or ambiguous.

Abstract:
This study aimed to contribute to the empirical literature on ethical fashion labelling. It investigates if complex, ethical, point-of-sale labels that ‘rate’ products’ ethical status on an ordinal scale influence consumer evaluations of fast-fashion garments (a) in any significant way at all and (b) in a way that is consistent with their reported ethical scores. In an experiment, 400 consumers evaluated a set of four fast-fashion garments with two levels of the Tearfund ordinal ethical label, a generic binary ethical label and garments with no label. Purchase intention was the dependent variable. The presence of a Tearfund label promoted significantly higher fast-fashion garment purchase intention, whatever ethical status the label was indicating. Thus, the rating label did significantly influence fast-fashion garment purchase intention, but not in any useful way. This is a novel and significant finding that indicates that fashion ethical labels are evaluated by using similar subconscious heuristic decision processes to those found in fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) markets. Ethical labels that rely on cognitive processing by the consumer may therefore be ineffective, and simpler iconic brand-like label systems that can support subconscious processing may be more useful in a fast-fashion setting.

Abstract:
The virtual try-on technology based on 2D images aims to seamlessly transfer provided garments onto target person images. Prior methods mainly concentrated on warping garments and generating images, overlooking the influence of feature alignment on the try-on results. In this study, we initially analyze the distortions present by existing methods and elucidate the critical role of feature alignment in the extraction stage. Building on this, we propose a novel feature alignment-based model (FA-VTON). Specifically, FA-VTON aligns the upsampled higher-level features from both person and garment images to acquire precise boundary information, which serves as guidance for subsequent garment warping. Concurrently, the Efficient Channel Attention mechanism (ECA) is introduced to generate the final result in the try-on generation module. This mechanism enables adaptive adjustment of channel feature weights to extract important features and reduce artifact generation. Furthermore, to make the student network focus on salient regions of each channel, we utilize channel-wise distillation (CWD) to minimize the Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence between the channel probability maps of the two networks. The experiments show that our model achieves better results in both qualitative and quantitative analyses compared to current methods on the popular virtual try-on datasets.

Abstract:
Garment sector trade unions have proved largely powerless to combat hypermobile transnational capital’s systematic extraction of surplus value from the newly industrialized Global South. Optimized conditions for accumulation coupled with the 2005 phase-out of the Multi-Fibre Agreement (MFA) have meant a radical geographic reconfiguration of the globalised garment industry heavily in favour of capital over labour. The thesis approaches the global garment sector from multiple vantage points across the world with the goal of uncovering the obstacles to workers' organisation, examine workers' strategies of resistance, and analyse the changing composition of labour and capital within the clothing commodity chain. The thesis highlights five distinct but interconnected case studies including a transnational workers campaign from a garment factory in Honduras; a history and present-day feasibility of establishing a transnational collective bargaining from El Salvador to Turkey to Cambodia; the prospects for a countermovement in the organizing strategies at the bottom of the clothing commodity and supply chain in Bangalore; the growth of a 'full package' denim manufacturer in changing the relationship between 'buyers' and 'suppliers' on the outskirts of Bangalore; and finally a continuation of this analysis the case of a strike at a monopoly footwear supplier in China. The central research question is: How do workers build power and establish workers' rights in the globally hypermobile garment sector? Ultimately, what is demonstrated within this thesis is that the actions of garment workers shaped and circumscribed the actions of capital in the sector, and as capital transformed new landscapes for accumulation new vistas for opposition begin to emerge.

Abstract:
This sixth volume of Medieval Clothing and Textiles ranges widely, as ever, across England and Europe. It presents two groundbreaking articles in novel areas of textile and dress scholarship: an introduction to a previouslyunexamined class of embroidery (decorative manuscript repair), and an English-language overview of scholarly research on historical dress in Latvia. Among the other topics considered in the volume are two very different listingsof clothing items from medieval Germany: an invented lexicon by the mystic Hildegard of Bingen, and an accounting of specific real garments worn by ordinary people and donated to finance the building of Strasbourg Cathedral. Papers also consider the mercantile world of clothing in medieval London: one gathers insight on dealers of secondhand clothing from the evidence of historical documents, while the other examines the social rise of the mercers in the light of their representation in literature, and their connections to the literary world. Further articles consider luxurious dress accessories with both worldly and spiritual significance, and analyse a French manual for Englishhousewives, illuminating the often-overlooked topic of home linen production.

For public buildings with, the energy load cost relatively large. There are a characteristic of facade which have high wall window rate to consume a lot of energy or increase Insulation cost due to the influence of interfaces. For the treatment of shading in summer, excessive overhang of the eaves often increases the load and structural cost of the roof or increases the external sunshade structure to increase structural cost. Integration of surface energy at the interface level, combined with the shading construction of light materials. In the current process of shortening the carbon cycle of buildings, study are exploring innovative exploration ways, focusing on building integrated sunshade and insulation for building with high window-wall-ratios. study consider the changes between winter and summer differentiated needs to propose optimized design solutions for reducing cooling and heating energy consumption under photo-thermal comfort conditions.set hina xian project as the case.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter summarises central findings in light of the posed research questions and discusses the empirical and conceptual contributions of this book. In terms of empirical contributions, the book highlights the central role of local worker organisations in improving working conditions in the garment industry while simultaneously revealing the complex, networked labour control structures that constrain the terrain for labour agency in garment producing countries. Against this background, unions need to develop networked agency strategies that employ coalitional and moral power resources from international consumer and labour organisations to open up space for workplace organising and collective bargaining. Conceptually, the relational approach for studying labour control and labour agency in GPNs developed in this book contributes to reinvigorating a relational understanding of labour dynamics in GPNs as constituted through power-laden, networked relationships at the vertical and horizontal dimension of the GPN. Thereby the book addresses a gap in past scalar analyses, which have not sufficiently explored the specific links between network dynamics and territorial outcomes for labour at specific nodes of a GPN. The chapter concludes with final reflections on challenges and strategies for improving working conditions in the global garment industry and directions for further research.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter analyses the networked agency strategies of three local garment unions in the Bangalore export-garment cluster. Drawing on the heuristic of three interrelated spaces of labour agency constructed by unions—spaces of organising, spaces of collaboration and spaces of contestation—the chapter highlights the various challenges for building sustained union bargaining power vis-à-vis employers. These challenges result on the one hand from the tight labour control regime and on the other hand from unions’ engagement with consumer organisations and donor NGOs from the Global North: When unions rely on financial support from NGOs instead of members’ contributions to fund their operations, and on moral power exercised by consumer organisations instead of associational power exercised by workers, unions risk constructing spaces of organising, collaboration and contestation that provide limited opportunities for workers and organisers to develop strategic capacities. Consequently, unions’ associational and organisational power remains limited. In contrast, when unions strategically use moral power resources from consumers to open up spaces for workplace organising and collective bargaining, this can enable unions to enhance their bargaining position vis-à-vis employers and thereby bring about sustained improvements for workers.

Abstract:
AbstractThe SARS-CoV-2 outbreak prompted significant organizational adjustments in workplaces, necessitating the restructuring of shift schedules and guidelines to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Workplace modifications encompassed ensuring physical distancing, restricting contact beyond the workplace, embracing remote work, and altering work conditions (e.g., smaller employee teams, reduced shift groups, and extended working hours). These changes primarily aimed to minimize employee interactions, particularly affecting shift workers who already experienced limited socialization due to their fluctuating schedules. The challenge of building a social life for shift workers was exacerbated as societal activities typically occurred after the standard 9–5 workday. The availability and quality of social networks and social engagement, in addition to stress, are indicated as potential mediators of disease in shift workers. This study analyzes longitudinal survey data from 631 garment factory workers in Poland from 2019 to 2021. Findings reveal that shift workers encountered heightened difficulties in general health, mental well-being, and social relationships during the pandemic (2020–2021) compared to other employees. Recognizing the adverse social implications for shift workers in extraordinary circumstances like the COVID-19 pandemic emphasizes the need for proactive employer measures to address these concerns.

Abstract:
This paper aim at generating knowledge on creative industries in a Ghanaian context, which drive understanding of creative entrepreneurship forward and shape theorization on dysfunctional systems of the creative entrepreneurship. Ghana’s Creative Arts Industry is perhaps the oldest industry: our forefathers danced, had theatre, played music, made amazing crafts and artifacts and created fine garments. Ghana’s Creative Arts span from smock weaving, xylophone and calabash making centers in Savanah and Northern Ghana to kente weavers of Bonwire and Agbozome; and from wood carving at Ahwia and Aburi to the bead makers at Ada and Somanya. However, little is known about the dysfunctional systems of the creative industry in Ghana. It is against this backdrop that this study seeks to explore the dysfunctional systems of creative entrepreneurship in Ghana. An empirical research design with qualitative approach was used. Interviews, Focus Group Discussions and Workshops were used for the data collection. The results showed the creative industry is a functional engine for sustainable and inclusive economic growth, it creates decent jobs and lead to sustainable development. The results however showed a system of dysfunctions among the creative entrepreneurs in a form of government and investor support related challenges, a lack of creative capacity building and research, unfavorable policies to regulate creative activities and the lack of appreciation for Ghanaian culture. The current study generated novel empirical and theoretical knowledge on both functional and dysfunctional systems of creative entrepreneurship in Ghanaian context. It is intimated that; periods of economic challenges are characterized with creative entrepreneurship playing key survival roles. This implies industry wide partnerships is key to have a salient role in driving innovation, economic growth, and welfare, in addition to their effect on job creation. Therefore, innovative and creative entrepreneurship is considered key factor in modern Ghanaian economic development.

Abstract:
Photoshop and illustrator are viewed as key employability skills in Fashion and Textile Design. Robert Hume has described Photoshop and Illustrator as "essential tools, though not devised specifically for those activities the brilliant design of the applications, their ease of use and constant evolution has eclipsed many specialist fashion and textile systems. (Hume, 2016)[1] Prior to this project students engaged with computer-aided design in a traditional classroom, with face-to-face teaching within the CAD LAB. This paper will discuss the outcomes to an eLearning approach for computer-aided design on the Textile Art, Design and Fashion Course. The flipped classroom model was implemented with students initially engaged in projects through the virtual learning environment Blackboard Learn. The Students were able to practice the key stages in the project through Blackboard collaborate, PowerPoint presentations and online tutorials. The access to the online tutorial guidance and time on task enabled students to practice and learn at their own individual pace. Teaching Photoshop and illustrator can often cause frustration within a diverse group of learners as a result of the levels of understanding and ability through prior experience. The eLearning approach to CAD covered carefully crafted topics such as mastering layers and custom brushes, learning about stripes and weaves, scanning and manipulation, repeats, colour ways, geometry, filters, flat garments and illustration. The advice, sharing and communication fully supported through the VLE provided opportunities for both diagnostics and correction of common problems. The flipped classroom model through the VLE allows students to work at their own pace building confidence and proficiency. The results of the project where evaluated through the quality of the work presented at the end of the project, student and staff feedback, the marks profile and external examiner reports.

Abstract:
Recently, discussions surrounding Attention Deficit Hypersensitivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults have taken a rise in digital media, particularly on social media platforms. This study explores the innovative use of fashion design to raise awareness of ADHD in adults, extracting insights from digital media, particularly ADHD-focused videos on TikTok and the concept of sludge content. These videos often depict how individuals with ADHD experience heightened stimulation and multitasking, elements that formed the foundation of this research. The primary aim was to translate these unique experiences into wearable art, showcasing how fashion can serve as a medium for awareness and representation. The importance of raising ADHD awareness cannot be neglected. Many adults remain undiagnosed or misunderstood, often facing challenges such as difficulty concentrating, impulsivity, and sensitivity to external stimuli. Awareness fosters empathy, reduces stigma, and promotes understanding in both social and professional settings thus making an understanding society. By connecting ADHD awareness to fashion, this research aimed to create a visual medium that communicates these experiences, making them more relatable and understandable to a wider audience. Through literature review and analysis, it became evident that digital media plays a crucial role in enhancing understanding and visibility of ADHD. Especially the COVID-19 lockdown period between 2020 and 2022 significantly influenced the surge of ADHD discussions online. With more time spent on social media during lockdowns, content related to ADHD gained widespread attention. While this increased awareness was beneficial, researchers have found that much of the information circulating online was inaccurate, often exaggerating health risks or presenting misleading symptoms. However, this wave of attention also led to a significant increase in people seeking mental health consultations, indicating that the trend, despite its flaws, did raise awareness among the general public. However, a notable gap exists in how fashion design addresses ADHD awareness, particularly in a way that represents the sensory and cognitive experiences associated with the condition. This literature gap presented an opportunity to explore and innovate, aiming to fill the gap by integrating fashion and neurodiverse storytelling. Building on this, the project centred on experimenting with the concept of “having more than one stimulation in one garment.” This approach was designed to mimic the multi-sensory and attention-dividing experiences often associated with ADHD. To narrow down the research area, the emphasis of the project was placed on visual stimulations. The research drove towards optical illusion art such as Projection mapping, Barrier grid animations, lenticular art, 3D illusion art, and Light art as they can mimic moving imagery or visually confuse/intriguing for an audience in a static medium. The Samoiloff effect, an optical illusion characterised by a contrasting specific colour combination, was chosen as the most practical and impactful method for this phase of experimentation. Its ability to create moving visual experiences in a two-dimensional static fabric aligned well with the objective of simulating overstimulation in a fashion context. The garments with the artwork with specific colours needed to be exposed to RGB lights to reveal the effect as these contrasting colours help create a movement that the eye can see. This approach added an immersive quality to the project while ensuring that the clothing remained wearable and functional. The effect works like a visual trick that plays with your eye, and mind and the colours themselves as the combination of opposite colours darken or even disappears the image to the human eye. Based on colour theory, the maximum number of images or sequences that can be successfully and functionally created using this technique is limited to three, showing both the potential and the limitations of this method. Challenges included manually extracting cyan, yellow, and magenta colours in Photoshop, manipulating images to create a moving effect when changing colours, the printing process dulling the colours, thus having to produce multiple samples and finding the precise red and green-blue flickering lights. In this project, sublimation printing on satin fabric was chosen for its ability to hold vibrant colours and ease of printing. Initial results demonstrated that integrating the Samoiloff effect into fabric design is not only feasible but effective in conveying moving imagery through clothing. Despite these successes, one limitation of this research was the restricted variation in colour choices, as the Samoiloff effect relies on precise and exact colour combinations to be effective. Further experimentation with different colour variations did not achieve the same impactful results as the original base colours. Additionally, these three specific colours are not the most aesthetically versatile or can be easily integrated into most designs, posing challenges for incorporating them into cohesive fashion pieces. While this phase confirmed the potential of optical illusions in fashion to embody the sensory aspects related to ADHD through Samoiloff effect, it also highlighted that this area of design research is open for further exploration expanding beyond print as a medium, broadening the idea of how fashion can reflect neurodiverse experiences and how fashion could be used as a bridge between art, awareness, and digital media.

Abstract:
This report analyses the impact of COVID-19 on women in the global garment and electronics value chains, with a focus on women working in production in Asia. Building on a previous K4D assessment of COVID-19 and its implications for global value chains (Quak, 2020), this report addresses the need to understand how COVID-19 specifically impacts women in global value chains. The report seeks to answer the question “how have male and female workers been affected differently by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly regarding employment and the ability to work differently?”. The review presented is based on existing evidence of the gendered impacts of COVID-19 on the garment and electronics value chains in Asia and draws on both academic and grey literature. At the time of research (March 2021), the evidence was relatively sparse, frequently relying on initial surveys completed early on in the pandemic. In addition, data disaggregated by gender is rare. Where these data are not available, our approach is to synthesise what we know about the impact of COVID-19 with what we know about the nature of gender in the garment and electronics sectors and to conclude the likely impacts of COVID-19 on gender.
