Raízes culturais brasileiras: engineered print inspirado na tribo Kayapó

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to develop a collection of men’s fashion, from the creation of the prints, the making of the pilot piece, to the ornaments applied, in which the characteristics of the Brazilian indigenous identity will be explored. For this to be possible, the Engineered Print technique, together with the application of embroidery, was used as the basis for a surface design, giving a three-dimensional and decorative appearance to the fabric. Under a sustainability character, Engineered Print is a technique that encourages the reduction of waste, since the print will be printed in areas located in the molds, applied to shirts made in stamping by sublimation. In this way, the waste is reduced in the unused parts that will be discarded in the cut. As a visual reference, the culture of the Kayapó tribe was used, located between the southern state of Pará and northern Mato Grosso, Brazil, with artistic activities such as body painting and graphics, which were explored in this research. Through support images, it was tried to transpose the values of the culture of the tribe by means of applied prints with the technique of Engineered Print. The present study is based on the methodology of Bernard Löbach (2001), because it is an objective method, which contemplates all aspects for the development of this project. In this way, the proposed collection presents significant aspects and representation of the language, associated to the theme chosen through colors, textures, aesthetics, among others, resulting in six pieces and two lines in the collection.
