As orquídeas do Brasil como referencial para a criação de estamparia localizada para moda feminina verão 2007

Abstract

The present research aimed the specific pattern creation for the 2007 summer feminine fashion, based on Brazil’s orchids, flowers that are one of the principal tendencies for the next season, the Tropicalismo. In order to give the study a theoretical basis, some surface design and textile pattern concepts, aspects about flora and specifically about orchids found in the country, as well as concepts about fashion, fashion collection and tendencies were recognized and related. All the data survey done showed that the specific pattern is being little used by industries and we did not find specific pattern design with Brazilian Orchids. Thus, the study proposal is the creation of specific pattern, original, different from the ones the market has presented, trying by means of producing alternatives, through interpretation drawings/creation and composition studies, rediscover new designs and propose pattern projects suitable to feminine articles of clothing. The transfer technique (termotransference) was chosen to transpose the developed and selected drawings to the final articles. The articles of clothing were made in viscolycra fabric, which fits the project needs such as color variety, lightness, and heat resistance. The final patterns were positioned the best way in each feminine article of clothing, creating a final set of pattern which highlights the chromatic characteristics of floral reference and the season fashion tendencies, exploiting the visual variety and the potential of shapes and colors present in Brazil’s nature focused in textile pattern.
