Abstract

This paper aims to unlock the potential of dynamic textile patterns in future-driven fashion design using computer graphics, which enables changes to the visual appearance of a textile for aesthetic, expressive or communicative purposes. In particular, it focuses on experimenting with the possibility of creating digitalized dynamic fashion garments that are illustrated digitally using motion graphics developed collaboratively in a virtual space. To this end, three objectives were formed and addressed. First, a dynamic textile pattern was defined, and the cases of both tangible and virtual dynamic patterns in textiles and fashion garments were investigated to identify their current situations and future prospects in terms of functional techniques and expressive effects. Next, collaborating with a group of graphic designers and motion artists, digital fashion illustrations were created to visualize dynamic patterns changing over time, and their methodological and expressive aspects were introduced. Lastly, some findings resulted from the digital works, which also led to implications for follow-up studies on tangible dynamic fashion design in the future.
