Women's Tailoring in Contemporary Time: The Deconstruction of Classic

Abstract

The tailoring thematic has gained massive importance over the centuries, exhibiting its transformation in each decade with different signatures. Its manufacturing results from the artisanal to the industrial aspect, highlighting how tailoring adapts to the different contexts of pattern-making and deconstructed silhouettes to remain in the traditional tailoring bases. In this sense, in methodological terms, the objective of this article was to show the articulation between the theoretical and reflective dimension and the practical and creative dimension of the design project through the elaboration of a practical case consisting of the deconstruction of a classic blazer, supported by the referred theoretical reflection. Among the main results of the article, personalization stands out as a transformation process to promote sustainability and garments deconstruction as a trend. However, it intends to demonstrate that, even if the silhouette looks different, the classic lines are present in specific details. In a society still driven by consumption, which craves the personalization of articles, it is essential to contribute to the growing conscious use of clothing.
