Image analysis and representation for textile design classification
… accuracy. Images of interest to this thesis were textile design images. The motivation of analysing textile design images is to help designers browse images, fuel their creativity, and improve their design efficiency. In recent years, bag-of-words model has been shown to be a good base for image …

CREATIVE THINKING IN FASHION & TEXTILE DESIGN: Idea Generation, Reflected in the Visual Journal
… thinking that takes part in the early stages of design projects is often highly conceptual, rarely seen by others and can be difficult for designers to share. Therefore, its importance may not be well understood, leading to miscommunication and missed opportunities in the early stages of a design …

Re-addressing the role of knitted textile design knowledge: auxetic textiles from a practice-led, designer-maker perspective
… knowledge and practice surrounding weft-knitted textiles, their design and applications. This study challenges current disciplinary practices that divide knit into scientific, design and art areas by describing a designer-maker methodology, which is used to produce auxetic, weft-knitted textiles. …

Transitionary Textiles: a craft-based journey of textile design practice towards new values and roles for a sustainable fashion industry
The current fashion textiles industry is based on an outdated, exploitative system that encourages fast consumption, generates huge amounts of textile waste, creates toxic impacts to ecosystems and causes significant social impacts to production workers. The move towards a more sustainable industry …

Transforming shape: a simultaneous approach to the body, cloth and print for garment and textile design (synthesising CAD with manual methods)
Printed textile and garment design are generally taught and practised as separate disciplines. Integrated CAD software enables textile and clothing designers to envisage printed garments by assimilating graphic imagery with 2D garment shapes, and 3D visualisations. Digital printing can be enlisted …
