DESIGN FEATURES OF TRANSFORMING DEMISEASON OUTER WOMEN’S CLOTHES MADE OF ARTIFICIAL LEATHER

Abstract

The garment industry task is to make products from materials that do not harm the environment and can be used in different life situations (turned into products for different purposes or assortment and used in different weather conditions). Therefore, the work is devoted to transforming clothes. The artificial leather from which it is proposed to make clothes is a modern ecological material, therefore this material is chosen as an example in work. The analysis of scientific researches concerning features of clothes transformation is carried out. It is determined that the issue of transformation of garments requires additional study. The article highlights the design of garments for women’s outerwear made of artificial leather, which can be transformed; certain properties of artificial leather that affect special approaches to the design of such clothing; technological features of processing of some types of transformational from artificial leather are defined. Based on the properties of artificial leather and taking into account the requirements for transforming clothes, the collection of transforming clothes of demi-season women’s outerwear was designed. The logical structure of designing products-transformers from artificial leather is developed. The method of transformation (connection-disconnection) and accessories (buttons, tape- “zipper”) are chosen. Assembly schemes of processing product knots that undergo transformation are developed. Development of product cut details of a collection from the main material is executed. The efficiency of the developed collection is investigated by determining the coefficients of functional use of products. A comparative analysis of the results is performed. The relevance and functionality of the designed products-transformers are investigated. Issues for further research in this area are identified.
