As African designers with vested interest in pushing the African fashion agenda on the world fashion stage, the design team undertook this project to purposively create a multi-ethnic-inspired costume for a Tanzanian member of the Diplomatic Corps. The occasion was to commemorate the celebration (the election and swearing into office) of the first ever Black woman of Asian descent, Kamala Harris as Vice President of the United States of America (USA), a historic period characterised by COVID 19 pandemic. Inspiration was from local resources including those from the celebrant’s varied background. The research design is a studio-based modelled on design-led concepts. The dress created reflects the Afro-Asian nuances of clothing traditions which speak of modesty, brightness, re-birthed and ancient costumes brewed in the African ‘pot.’

Bondița is an integral part of the popular port of the Republic of Moldova, throughout the Carpathian region and beyond. This item of clothing has a rich terminology and typology, depending on the area, region, season, social status of the owner, materials, finishes, technologies and techniques. Information on the art of leather craftsmen from Moldova and other European countries is presented. The scheme of cutting and embroidery of the bead varies, the materials used, the stages and the technologies of making. We can observe the forms, materials and art of embroidery on leather and fabric vests from the collections of museums in the Republic of Moldova and other European countries. Patterns specific to traditional art are used in embroidery and other decorative elements, which are made in different techniques. Stylized floral and geometric ornaments are represented decor elements. The leather processing is done according to ancient methods by using specific traditional tools combined with modern technologies. In recent decades, traditional vests have attracted the attention fashion designers of world class, but local designers have also found inspiration in the folk costume. Some pieces are inspired from the fashion designers’ collections by the bonditsa, indicating a rising level of interest in traditional art presented through folk costume

Nel quindicesimo canto del Paradiso Dante affida a Cacciaguida il peana della Firenze 'del buon tempo antico'. La gran parte di questo panegirico è dedicata alle donne fiorentine. Dopo aver lodato i costumi muliebri dell'antica Firenze, l'avo di Dante rivolge alle contemporanee del poeta un'aspra invettiva che, pur basandosi su di un'antica e provata tradizione classica di tipo satirico-morale, sembra però aprirsi con forza a modelli biblici che non sono stati fin qui sufficientemente investigati. Questo articolo intende mostrare quanto l'antica filigrana vete-rotestamentaria del discorso di Cacciaguida possa paradossalmente ed efficacemente prestarsi proprio alla critica sociale provocata in Dante dalla particolare temperie storica della Firenze in cui era immerso e come questo sostrato biblico corrisponda anche a certe ideologie dell'austerità di costumi di ambiente augusteo penetrate nell'Eneide virgiliana.

Neste artigo interdisciplinar, fundindo História das Mentalidades e Artes Plásticas, abordamos a tela O casal Arnolfini (1434), do pintor flamengo Jan van Eyck (c. 1390-1441), como uma ilustração sugestiva do nascimento da Europa Moderna e da família burguesa, no Renascimento Quatrocentista. Por meio da análise dos gestos, vestes, mobiliário e objetos de decoração, fixados por van Eyck, é possível verificar como a burguesia tornou-se dona do poder, assumindo os lugares ocupados pela nobreza, da qual herdaria costumes e etiquetas. A união do brasão à bolsa, como símbolos distintivos de poder, implicou a busca por códigos de civilidade e etiqueta que pusessem em equilíbrio os valores da vida pública e as exigências da vida privada.

O ensaio reflete a relação corpo-saia, a partir do estudo da performance das Saias de Axé, para considerar a saia que compõe o traje de mulheres do candomblé como portal de uma relação sagrada que tem o corpo como altar. Os processos de confecção e costura, considerando seus formatos e adornamentos articulados à expressão espiral do movimento que pressupõem, desenham no espaço a imagem desses corpos como espirais em movimento. O rodar das rodas dessas saias de axé torna a saia um prolongamento do corpo e expande seu movimento, expressando, assim, uma cosmopercepção espiralar em que o feminino é sublinhado como continuidade da tradição.

À primeira vista, o que parece razoavelmente defensável na posição kantiana, com base na Fundamentação da Metafísica dos Costumes, é que as ações imorais são insondáveis, mas não o são como as ações morais. Estas são sempre insondáveis, aquelas quando vestem a conformidade ao dever, pois quando são contrárias ao dever são sondáveis. Mas na Crítica da Razão Pura (1980b, p.279, n.; B 579, n.80) Kant afirma que "a moralidade própria das ações (mérito e culpa), mesmo a de nosso próprio comportamento, permanece-nos totalmente oculta", pois não sabemos o quanto devemos imputar ao efeito puro da liberdade ou à simples natureza. Assim, ao que parece Kant defende duas posições. Uma, apregoando a insondabilidade parcial das ações imorais, outra uma opacidade total da qualidade moral das ações. Julgo, contudo, que, no fundo, Kant pode sustentar, sem cair em contradição, tanto a posição de que (a) as ações contrárias ao dever sinalizam a maldade de uma máxima como a tese de que (b) o mérito ou demérito moral jamais pode ser observado. A primeira alternativa é a que verificamos, por exemplo, na Fundamentação da Metafísica dos Costumes e que também na Religião desempenha um importante papel, uma vez que Kant tem de assumir, de algum modo, a experiência de ações más. Já a segunda tese parece ter um fundo eminentemente especulativo. Ela visa a mostrar a indecidibilidade metafísica acerca da qualidade moral de uma máxima.

Le tissu extérieur d'une veste, souvent en laine, représente la pièce la plus importante de la veste. C'est ce tissu qui définit l'identité de la veste par son aspect et son toucher. Cependant, le rétrécissement des étoffes en laine pendant le lavage entraîne une perte de l’esthétique du vêtement et donc une augmentation rapide des déchets textiles de laine. Le nettoyage à sec est donc fortement recommandé, mais il nécessite des solvants qui ne sont pas respectueux à l'environnement. L'objectif de cette étude porte sur le développement et l’écoconception d’une veste de costume formelle multifonctionnelle qui est lavable en machine domestique et qui est également déperlante afin de réduire la fréquence des lavages pendant la phase d’usage. Des traitements chimiques ont été appliqués par foulardage successif, en utilisant un mélange de dispersion aqueuse de polyuréthane et de polysiloxane (PUPX) pour la stabilité dimensionnelle, suivi d'un second traitement avec un mélange d'une émulsion aqueuse de polymères de méthacrylate de fluorotélomère et de paraffine/cires d'hydrocarbures (C6PW) pour la déperlance. De bons résultats de stabilité dimensionnelle et de déperlance ont été obtenus après plusieurs cycles de lavages en machine domestique. L'analyse par microscopie électronique à balayage (MEB) a confirmé la bonne adhérence du premier mélange (PUPX) à la surface de la fibre de laine et l’établissement des liaison inter-fibre permettant de restreindre leur mouvement pendant le lavage. De plus, des bons résultats de résistance à l’abrasion et au boulochage ont confirmé que les traitements réalisés augmentent la durée de vie du produit. Des analyses de cycles de vie comparatives ont permis à la fois de calculer les impacts environnementaux du cycle de vie complet de la veste de costume classique ainsi que d’évaluer la contribution des traitements réalisés sur le bilan environnemental de la veste. Il a été démontré que le choix du lavage en machine domestique avec le programme délicat/laine et la réduction de sa fréquence permet de réduire les impacts environnementaux de la phase d’usage de la veste de costume.De même, une analyse complémentaire a permis de montrer que le choix de la matière première du tissu extérieur, opter pour des mélanges plutôt que 100% laine et de la viscose pour la doublure plutôt que le polyester permet de réduire les impacts environnementaux de la phase de production de la veste. De plus, l’augmentation de la durée de vie de la veste a réduit considérablement les impacts environnementaux à chaque étape de son cycle de vieThe outer fabric of a jacket, which is often made of wool, represents the most important component of the jacket. It is this fabric that defines the jacket's identity through its appearance and feel. However, the lack of dimensional stability of worsted fabrics when laundering leads to a loss of the garment's aesthetic appeal and therefore contributes to a rapid increase in textile waste. Dry cleaning is therefore highly recommended, but it requires solvents that are not environmentally friendly. The objective of this study is to develop and eco-design a multifunctional formal men suit jacket that is both machine washable and water-repellent in order to reduce the frequency of washing during the use phase.Chemical treatments were applied through successive paddings, using a blend of an aqueous dispersion of polyurethane and polysiloxane (PUPX) for dimensional stability, followed by a second treatment with a mixture of aqueous fluorotelomer methacrylate polymer emulsion and paraffin/hydrocarbon waxes (C6PW) for water repellency. Good results in terms of dimensional stability and water repellence have been achieved after several washing machine cycles. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis confirmed the good adhesion of the first blend (PUPX) to the wool fiber surface and inter-fiber bonding, which restrict their movement during washing. High resistance to wear and abrasion was obtained confirming that the applied treatments increase the product's lifespan. Comparative life cycle analyses were conducted to calculate the environmental impacts of the entire life cycle of a traditional men suit jacket and to assess the contribution of the treatments to the jacket's environmental footprint. It was demonstrated that machine washing with the delicate/wool program and reducing its frequency helps reduce the environmental impacts of the use phase. Furthermore, a second analysis revealed that choosing fiber blends instead of 100% wool for the outer fabric and using viscose instead of polyester for the lining helps to minimize the environmental effects during the production phase of the jacket. Additionally, increasing product lifespan has considerably reduced environmental impacts across all stages of its life cycle

This research set reflections about the Gaucho Traditionalist Movement and analyses the selected imagery repertoire on the composition of the institutionalized Gaucha clothing. Clothing became the main element of the set of references selected by the movement from 1947, from it people embrace the constituted identity, create personas and declare themselves as Gauchos. Due to the intense use of historical references on the movement practices, the imaginary is reinforced and results in the connection of the present with the past, creating meanings, evoking it as the different and emphasizing "me" and "the other". Therefore, the aim of this research was to verify the textual and imagery sources used in the book "Indumentária Gaucha" of the writer Antonio Augusto Fagundes, identifying and analyzing the historical references and the fashion aspects that rebound on the composition proposed by the author, and approved by the Gaucho Traditionalist Movement from the second half of the twentieth century
Esta investigação tece reflexões acerca do Movimento Tradicionalista Gaúcho e analisa o repertório imagético selecionado na composição da indumentária gaúcha institucionalizada. O vestuário constituiu-se como elemento central do conjunto de referências selecionadas pelo movimento a partir de 1947, a partir dele as pessoas se apropriam da identidade constituída, criam personas e se afirmam como gaúcho. Em razão da intensa utilização de referências históricas nas práticas do movimento, o imaginário se fortalece e resulta na conexão do presente com o passado, criando sentidos, evocando-o como o diferente e evidenciando o “eu” e o outro”. Desse modo, a pesquisa tem como objetivo verificar as fontes textuais e imagéticas utilizadas na obra Indumentária Gaúcha de Antonio Augusto Fagundes, identificando e analisando as referências históricas e aspectos da moda que reverberam na composição proposta pelo autor e aprovada pelo Movimento Tradicionalista Gaúcho a partir da segunda metade do século XX

The foundation of Tailoring for the Visual Learner is the exploration of new and creative approaches to preserve, promote, and pass on the art of individually handcrafted menswear for theatre and film. This project culminated in the creation of an instructional video guide unlike anything currently available on the market. Using high definition cameras and a team of highly skilled professionals, I produced, wrote, directed and hosted an instructional video that takes the viewer through every step of the creation of a hand tailored vest: from fabric preparation and drafting to the final fitting. Instruction utilizes a modern voice aimed at early career sewing professionals who wish to advance, and seek an alternative to confusing drafting books or incomplete online tutorials that avoid the features of a truly well constructed garment. By combining up close camera work with textual explanations, graphics, and verbal explanations, I have created a new approach to tailoring instruction aimed at visual learners, who make up a large majority of costuming professionals. By taking the viewer through the tailoring process up close and step-by-step, the time-honored tradition of tailoring is now available and affordable to countless artisans who seek to advance and/or teach their craft.text

Leather, fur and textile vests are part of the traditional costume of Transcarpathia and not only. This article presents the results of the analysis of vests from the collection of the National Museum of Ethnography and Natural History in Chisinau. The task was to analyze the materials, cut, decoration techniques of the studied exhibits. After a comparative analysis of this collection, was created a gallery with the most remarkable exhibits according to the studied parameters. The growing interest in traditional clothing among designers and artists contributes to the preservation and inclusion in modern images of various elements of traditional clothing, including vests. Studying the characteristics of the traditional vest is essential in order to pass on this treasure to future generations and use it as a rich source of inspiration for modern collections.

Abstract Under SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) programs from the U.S. Marine Corps, investigators at Triangle Research and Development Corporation (TRDC) have conducted research toward the development of a unique passive cooling garment to provide significant microclimate cooling to Marines dressed in NBC (Nuclear/Biological/Chemical) protective clothing. The patented PECS (Protective Environmental Control System) garment utilizes 3–4 mm diameter macroencapsulated phase change material (macroPCM) particles distributed throughout a lightweight and highly breathable vest garment to provide 1–3 hours of cooling in high heat stress environments. With polymer walls encapsulating the paraffin PCM, the macroPCMs provide a wearable, packed bed heat exchanger that is flexible, highly breathable, and undergoes its solid/liquid phase change from 25–28°C, where its high latent heat storage can reach 60 calories/gram. This cooling range is at elevated and more comfortable temperatures than gel media used in other passive microclimate garments, which store their cold near 0°C and can cause shivering and discomfort. Although other microclimate garments require refrigeration or freezers to thermally recharge the cooling media, the passive 5-lb PECS cooling garment can be thermally recharged in the field at room temperatures (15–20°C) without refrigeration. Although earlier publications described the principles for such a cooling garment, this publication is the first to describe the garment’s construction, development and testing. Extensive laboratory testing has included Marine volunteers on a treadmill in a heated environmental chamber while dressed in Level IV MOPP and Level A protective clothing and a gas mask. PECS has also been used by costumed characters at Walt Disney World to provide extended cooling within an extended heat stress environment. Besides military uses, passive macroPCM garments should find other applications; including: protective clothing for firefighters, industrial workers, costumed characters and persons with heat stress disabilities.

Investigators at Triangle Research and Development Corporation (TRDC) have developed materials and applications for enhanced thermal management using both micro-and macro-encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) since 1983; including: microPCM coolants, coatings, composites, fibers and PCM apparel. The PECS™ (Personal Environmental Control System) was developed for microclimate body cooling beneath NBC (Nuclear-Biological-Chemical) protective clothing for the US NAVY and USMC (Colvin, 1997 and 2000). Similar cooling apparel using 3–4mm macroPCM COOLBEADS™ were developed for costumed characters at two theme parks as well as potential use by firemen (Colvin, 1998). The results for these programs were reported at the 2000 and 2002 ASME ICEME (Colvin, 2000 and 2002). Civilian apparel has included 3.5 lb and 5 lb vests, a 1.5 lb cowl as well as a 1-lb collar, which suggested the potential for the microclimate cooling of athletes. Extreme heat during outdoor sporting events can be a major problem for athletes. Competitive runners, who often generate 700–900 W/m2, commonly deal with temperatures above 32.2°C (90°F) and a relative humidity greater than 80%. Natural cooling by evaporation and convection are often inadequate for a vigorously exercising athlete. Many athletes fatigue, drop out or have to wrap their chest and shoulders with ices and towels in order to finish the races. Ice and frozen gels, however, are uncomfortable, heavy, and can cause the blood vessels to constrict, thus restricting good blood circulation. Encapsulated PCMs can store 60 J/kg and the air spaces between the particles permit evaporation and convection as well as rapid thermal recharging. Development of an effective cooling collar could potentially permit competitive athletes to combat heat exhaustion and increase the body’s ability to dissipate heat.
