INTEGRATING LIGHT ELEMENTS IN FASHION: PRACTICE-BASED DESIGN APPROACH

In history, the relationship between fashion and technology has influenced ever-changing silhouettes of body, quality materials used to construct these silhouettes, colors giving liveliness material. Today, by digital revolution innovation in advanced materials, industry benefits from increasing possibilities develop alternative functions even most conventional dress forms, such as wedding gowns. This integration, which necessitates contribution different know-how expertise, also provides a creative platform for developing interdisciplinary, practice-based design research applications. this study, an innovative using light element was produced with joint designers engineers based Izmir, considered capital bridalwear Turkey. project, considers new that increases expressive power dress, aims offer both category existing examples incorporating technologies. accordance main framework, questions, project concept, study conducts literature review examining current technologies (LED, optical fibers, etc.). Following this, stages design, sample development production processes are presented relevant visuals. It is believed whose research, development, shared detail, will set example future interdisciplinary projects.
