Retro Fashion Trend Study on Café Chair Design for Generation Z in Surabaya

This article delves into the integration of retro fashion trends in chair design within Surabaya's café scene. Employing a descriptive qualitative research approach, this study seeks a profound comprehension of the impact of retro fashion trends on chair design. Data collection methods encompass theory development, observations, interviews, and questionnaire surveys. The analysis is rooted in predefined outcome variables. The study's findings underscore the substantial influence of the retro fashion trend on café chair design in Surabaya. Notably, Generation Z's consumer demand, characterized by heightened consumerism and a penchant for contemporary trends, plays a pivotal role in shaping fashion cycles and lifestyle choices. The enduring appeal of the retro trend, spanning from the 1970s to the present, resonates strongly with Generation Z, especially those who harbor nostalgic inclinations.

This research reveals that Surabaya's café chair designs adeptly incorporate retro elements, encompassing material selection, silhouettes, colors, and styles. By seamlessly amalgamating these retro elements with contemporary influences, these chair designs effectively captivate consumers, fostering an inviting and appealing ambiance within the café environment.

Understanding and attitude toward upcycling according to the survey of students of various specialities

The attitude to upcycling technologies of undergraduate students of five specialities (design, clothing industry technology, vocational education and training, industrial pharmacy and psychology) and their teachers was investigated using the questionnaire method. Students’ pReferences practically do not depend on specialities. For all students, subgroups of upcycling enthusiasts and sceptics are observed which regularly resort to upcycling or almost do not use it. An almost complete misunderstanding and imperception of the benefits and importance of upcycling is a key and common problem. Social factors have a minimal influence on the opinion of respondents, which may indicate a lack of understanding in society of the role and importance of waste management. All the shortcomings and problems in understanding upcycling are common to students and teachers. In general, the positive attitude towards upcycling and the intention to use upcycling in life in the answers most likely has an unconscious and artificial character (like a fashion trend) because the attitude towards other formative factors does not support it. The identified problems are related to the shortcomings of secondary school and undergraduate curricula, which hinder the formation of the necessary competencies for sustainable development. Methods of their solution are proposed and discussed.

Investigation of structural parameters of acoustic panels produced from post-industrial textile wastes containing different raw materials

Although noise pollution appears to be a minor issue, it worsens as a result of urbanization and population growth. Unwanted noises have a wide range of negative effects, including anxiety, hostility, high blood pressure, tinnitus, hearing loss, and sleep difficulties. The researchers are compelled to conduct a creative search in order to uncover future environmental solutions due to the noise problem, which is becoming each day worse. Moreover, the textile sector, which is growing day by day, generates huge amounts of waste with the effect of fast fashion trend. The objective of this study is to develop ecofriendly acoustic panels utilizing recycled textile waste and thermoplastic polypropylene (PP) fibers. Within the scope of the study, waste fabrics made of viscose, lyocell, flax, cotton, and polyester are shredded into fibers, and sandwich panels including waste fibers bonded together with PP fibers are generated using the hot press technique. In addition to the use of natural and synthetic fibers, the effects of surface shape (perforated-imperforated) and layer thickness (5 mm and 10 mm) on acoustic performance are examined. The results of the sound absorption and sound transmission loss tests reveal that the acoustic properties of the samples improve as the sample thickness increases, but the perforation process does not have the desired favorable impact on samples of the same thickness. Additionally, the outcomes demonstrate that around 2000 Hz, natural and regenerated fibers with high cellulose content had the best sound absorption coefficients around 0.60. The findings indicate that these eco-friendly panels can be used to reduce unwanted noise in open offices, co-working spaces, and meeting rooms.

DEVELOPMENT OF PERMANGANAT ALTERNATIVE EFFECT WASHING CHEMICALS IN DENIM WASHING PROCESSES

The process of giving effect or attrition on the denim is a situation that develops day by day according to the fashion trends that have developed in recent years. The effect is to try to achieve a more matte appearance by gradually removing these materials by means of paint deformation, while the fiber is not allowed to break brittle on the working surfaces of the particles, where the hard and amorphous surfaces provide a kind of fine sanding function. The aging process is generally done to provide a random wear look and to break the uniform denim paint look. The most important of these can be listed as the difficulty of use, the fact that it contains permanganate, which is harmful to the environment, expected to be banned in the near future, and the absence of repeated use. By using Al2O3 material, which is in the oxide abrasive class, by adding liquid paraffin and TEA, which acts as a compatibilizing agent, at different rates, abrasion slurry was produced and its effects on denim products were investigated. In this study, the effects of particle size of oxide species, α- Al2O3 ratio in Al2O3 specific surface areas and impurities in Al2O3 were also investigated.

Fashioning sustainability: Navigating the perceptions and attitudes in fashion design

Trends, elegance, and rapid consumption have long been connected to the fashion business, creating serious environmental and societal problems. Fashion designers are essential in guiding the industry toward a more sustainable future as the necessity for sustainable practices becomes more and more obvious. The purpose of this research was to investigate more about fashion designers' opinions on sustainable fashion (SF) and the challenges they face when trying to put sustainable design (SD) concepts into practice. Fifty fashion designers were selected to take part in an exploratory study and were interviewed throughout five sessions. The research's major findings show that it's challenging to include SD in the fashion design (FD) process for several internal and external factors. Internal issues include a lack of consensus and knowledge regarding SD, as well as projected trade-offs with other aspects of design goals, including aesthetic styles, budgetary limits, and current trends in fashion. Some examples of such external barriers include the intricacy of sustainability issues, the impression of insufficient customer demand, the existence of deficiencies in customer views and actions regarding the purchase of sustainable collection ranges, and the absence of either monetary or legal incentives for businesses to employ SD methods. The results of this study add to our knowledge of the perspectives and attitudes that fashion designers have regarding sustainability, providing insightful information for those who are involved in the industry, policymakers, and educators. This research aims to enable the incorporation of sustainable practices into fashion design, eventually guiding the industry toward a more responsible and sustainable future by addressing the issues and offering practical solutions.

Social Impact of Multicultural Education on Indigenous Secondary Learners of Caraga Region

This study aimed to investigate the social impact of multicultural education on Higaonon, Mamanwa, and Manobo secondary school learners of the Caraga Region. This study utilized a mixed method of research, particularly convergent parallel design, with a researcher-made questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. Three hundred twelve (12) participants consisting of one hundred (100) Higaonon, one hundred sixty (160) Manobo, and fifty-two (52) Mamanwa students answered the survey questionnaires. Findings revealed that Multicultural Education has a high impact on the attitudes, beliefs, and practices of indigenous learners. By engaging in multicultural education, learners learn to accept their own culture, which helps to enhance self-knowledge and self-development. Through multicultural education, indigenous learners have learned to appreciate and respect others despite cultural differences. Moreover, findings showed multicultural education had improved the communication skills of indigenous learners; these learners were able to meet and make new friends with non-indigenous learners. However, indigenous learners experienced bullying, which made them feel unwelcome and unrespected. IP learners claimed that poverty, dealing with IP learners, and bullying are the difficulties they have encountered in school. IP learners have learned how to use cellular phones and adapt to the latest music, fashion, and social media trends. Results have shown that multicultural education promotes and has instilled the importance of education among indigenous learners. Higaonon and Manobo learners, however, asserted that IP-related cultural activities were limited only to Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health (MAPEH) lessons, whereas Mamanwa learners claimed that no culture-related activities were conducted in school. Based on such findings, a proposed plan of action was made to solve the issues involving the impact and the undesirable experiences of the Caraga Region IP learners while enrolled in a multicultural education setting.
