Abstract
In the context of expert systems technologies and human computer interaction, the goal of this project is to construct an interactive design support to fashion designers when designing workwear or corporatewear clothes. This system will be fed by a semantic database that describes the relations between function and clothes specific context of use under the user’s perspective. This application will contain relevant information for clothes designers and producers, alerting them to the user’s clothes preferences adequate to a certain task, and hopeful, an added value to be included in the beginning of the design process. To gather all this information it will be studied the user’s real work situation and preferences under Kansei Engineering and Rough Set methodology. The outcomes of this study could help clothing designers to suggest effective user centred design clothes.
