Exploration of floral motifs for modular textile and apparel design

Abstract

This study investigates the application of floral motifs in a modular design framework for textile and garment production. The modular design philosophy allows for the construction of adaptable and useful clothes by assembling small, standardised pieces. While earlier research on modular fashion has focused chiefly on geometric shapes, this project looks into using floral patterns to improve the aesthetic and customisation potential of modular garments. The study used practice-based research methodologies, including studio activities to implement the modular textile and garment designs. The findings reveal how the floral motif modules can be separated and recomposed to meet the end user’s preferences, resulting in increased design flexibility, adaptability, and cost savings. The study recommends that fashion designers embrace modular design concepts, leading to higher quality, innovation, and cost-effectiveness for consumers by allowing for greater customisation and reconfiguration. This work adds to the expanding body of knowledge on modular techniques in textile and garment design.
