“Pre-consumer Textile Waste from Waste Bin to Wearable"

Presently, textile industry is facing immense criticism on its excessive and wasteful consumption of fiber resources, which led to elevation in textile waste. Pakistan, being the contemporary face of the Indus Valley Civilization, has a history of sustainable textiles, reusing and repurposing textiles in rotation. The aim of this research is to provide simple solutions, inspired from vernacular dressmaking techniques, specifically Kurta and its different types to explore surface design possibilities, while utilizing leftover pre consumer textile waste. The researcher desire to inculcate, if not the same as practice in west, but some knowledge and take part in providing solutions to reduce the waste and in the long run production of excessive textiles. For the purpose, 10 different types of kurta designs have been explored while reusing leftover textile waste collected from tailors’ shops. These kurtas have been ideated and further executed from pre consumer textile waste and transforming those in wearables.

What is life? We ask ourselves this question at different points in our lives. The answer to thisquestion also differs according to our personal experiences that have shaped us layer by layer like an onion. I feel this same sense of layers in felting (namde), as the namda is created by bonding layers upon layers of wool and eventually shape into a fabric as an existence. I wish to explore the layers of life which form us, layer upon layer of experiences leaving their mark on our personality, in accordance with the amazing, layered art of felting. I have identified the layers in the story as stages. Every stage has a special colour and impact that has formed my personality. For depicting every life stage and its layers, I will create different felt pieces depicting life in the form of different layers.

Reflection of Kashikari through textile

The aim of this study is to explore and acknowledge the beauty of our cultural handcraft Kashikari, which often brush aside. It is an attempt to recreate and reinforce it by replicating through textile medium and to pay tribute to the artisans of this specific craft. This research is mainly focused on Punjab’s kashikari predominantly Multan and Lahore. The whole work is executed through manual and digital textile printing techniques along with different surface embellishments to achieve the look and beauty of kashikari inspired designs.

My thesis research is conceptualized on the art movement of the 1800’s, Art Nouveau. The art movement under discussion, incorporated a new style with design solutions focusing more on natural forms, curves and lines. And that is the main source of inspiration for my work. The execution of my work incorporates Screen Printing Technique; using ‘Line’ as the main element and is printed on different upholstery fabric which is further enhanced in using textile techniques of patchwork/cutwork. My work aims to create a visual interior environment, showcasing the design element of lines and curves with the basic inspiration from the whiplash curves, sinuous lines of Art Nouveau. The colour palette used is also inspired from the natural aspect and the artists of that period, combining natural hues, shades, and tones. The execution will further be represented in an interior space which includes, sofa throws, curtain belts, and patches as interior products.

Seashells are the outer hard covering of molluscs. The thesis is aimed at exploring the delicacy, beauty, and the line pattern of seashells. Whenever I experience shells, few things are very prominent while experiencing it which is the line pattern prominent on the shell which creates movement. Through this experience I shall be trying to depict the commonality which is the flow and continuity in my work. The flow and continuity were the most prominent thing that attracted me in the shells delicacy. For creating design, the physical element is that of seashell while the placement of seashells shows movement and connection that is the most prominent aspect of my work. Through this thesis I shall be connecting people with nature and highlighting the beauty and form of seashells. The designs shall be created digitally on Adobe Photoshop and then be transferred onto fabric for the final products through digital printing.

Through my work I am translating light manipulation and translucency of stained-glass windows in textiles. The Opalescent era of stained glass has been the focus of inspiration as it was an era when stained glass moved away from strictly religious themes to more nature inspired motifs that would appeal to a wider audience. In this way I am using silk painting, beadwork and dabka to depict the effect of stained glass in fabrics that can be used by many people despite their religion or race. The purpose of my research is to explore an ancient art form in a different way as its importance has decreased over the years.

The Human desire to connect with nature and be in its surroundings is the main driving power behind my thesis topic. Nature has an important role in an individual's life. The unbreakable bond between humans and natural space is what always fascinated me, but over time it’s somehow lost because of many reasons, and we do not really get time to spend in nature's company. So, my work is basically based on the concept of “Relive Lost Connections” Being a textile student, I love to work in Batik which provides me with many options in creating my artwork. My work execution incorporates batik on silk for it helps me in exploring unique sides of art pieces and enhancing its beauty. This thesis will be focused on creating such interior space which will increase human connection with natural world by incorporating Biophilic design. The Panels will showcase the biophilic attributes which will visually reconnect humans with nature.

Nature has always been the main source of inspiration for artists and designers as humanity has always been fascinated by the it and specially the astounding shapes and forms of clouds on sky. Shimmering in sunlight, the luminous clouds in a scattered formation provide an impeccable scene for naturists to admire. In this research different state and forms of clouds are used as a symbol of human emotions. The study focuses on the comparison of emotions between clouds (as a nature element) and human emotions, which would benefit in appreciating the unique features of clouds in our mundane lives. This will symbolically present clouds as human moods, which consists of layers of feelings that never last forever. For the execution of this project multiple sheer fabrics have been explored along with fabric manipulation and different textile techniques, keeping in mind the transparency, flexibly and delicacy of clouds.

The purpose of this research is to explore the beauty of rich cultural craft Meenakari jewellery with a traditional value attached to it as a royal craft of subcontinent. This study is an attempt to acknowledge the artisans and craftmanship by taking inspiration from Meenakari technique and designs and recreating it in textile medium. Main source of inspiration for this study is the meenakari jewellery of JAIPUR city, which is considered the hub of this craft. To obtain the look and beauty of meenakari inspired designs, the entire process is completed using manual and digital textile printing techniques, as well as other surface embellishments.

A motif is a basic and dominant unit of any design that is further composed aesthetically to create surface pattern. This research is about developing motifs and patterns by taking inspiration from contemporary urban forms and creating fusion of primitive and contemporary motifs. Different practice approaches have been used to execute the final shape of contemporary motifs, from manual sketches to treating raw images on software to create surface patterns.

Research and Thesis

When interested in a career in research and/or a Ph.D. it may be advisable to plan on doing a thesis. Some larger companies may also prefer students with a thesis. Everyone’s path is different though and there are some exceptions to these broad rules. Your advisor will work with you to determine what the best choice will be for you. 

Research Thesis Requirements 

Master’s Thesis In order to complete the degree in a reasonable time, students should identify a topic and start work on a thesis early. Identification of a thesis topic should be done during or before the second semester in residence. It is the student’s responsibility to take the initiative to engage in activities that will lead to the identification of a thesis topic. While there is no unique sequence of steps that should be taken in order to arrive at the definition of an appropriate problem, a few suggestions may be helpful. A student may enter the graduate program with a definite interest. A student may be able to identify a thesis topic from course work or readings. Some portion of the research in which a faculty member is engaged may be developed as a thesis. Each professor has interests and ideas that may provide stimulating suggestions. Graduate students should contact faculty members; they welcome the opportunity to get acquainted with students. Other sources of stimulation and advice are discussions with other students, attendance at professional meetings, and familiarity with the relevant literature. Finally, in carrying out term paper requirements for courses, students have an opportunity to get the background understanding and information which will enable them to sense a problem that is both interesting and of reasonable scope. The master’s thesis is intended to be a focused research exercise on a manageable topic. It should be focused on a well-defined topic with restricted scope. At the same time, it must be carried out with care and rigor. Peer-reviewed publications and at least one conference paper is expected. The committee will supervise the work throughout the preparation of the thesis with the chair or co-chairs taking major responsibility. The student should consult with the chair and the committee in connection with any major problems, and keep them informed of progress. It is beneficial for all concerned that concise (monthly) reports are provided to the committee to keep them abreast of progress and any problems that need to be addressed. Regular meetings with the chair or committee are also usually very helpful. Be sure to take full advantage of workshops that are made available by The Graduate School. For instance, M.S. students should take this Electronic Theses and Dissertations workshop at the end of their first year. Once the thesis has been completed, it should be carefully edited and tentatively approved by the committee. The student may then proceed to arrange a suitable time and place for the oral examination according to the rules of the Graduate School, using MyPack Portal . All theses are submitted electronically to the Graduate School. Once the thesis is defended, it must be approved by the advisory committee with original signatures of the members of the advisory committee on the title page. Once the student has the signed title page, they can meet with the graduate thesis/dissertation editor. Before final approval, the thesis will be reviewed by the Graduate School to ensure that it conforms to the specifications prescribed in the Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Guide . The editor will give the student a date by which the thesis must be submitted electronically in order for the student to graduate in a given semester. Students should plan to provide a final copy of the thesis to each committee member, if they request it.

Master’s Thesis Defense and Oral Examination Candidates for the master’s degree must pass a comprehensive oral examination to demonstrate to the advisory committee that they possess a reasonable mastery of the subject matter of the major and supporting fields and that this knowledge can be used with promptness and accuracy. The oral examination includes an oral presentation about the thesis and questions focused on the project. Authorization to hold the examination is requested through the Graduate School. The examination may not be held until all other requirements, except completion of the course work for the final semester, are satisfied. A mutually agreeable time of no less than two hours must be scheduled for the examination. A unanimous vote of approval by the advisory committee is required for passing the oral examination. However, approval of the examination may be conditioned upon the completion of additional work to the satisfaction of the advisory committee. Failure of a student to pass the examination terminates the student’s graduate program unless otherwise unanimously recommended by the advisory committee. Oral examinations for master’s degree candidates are open to all faculty, students and staff. Discussion and decisions regarding the student’s performance are confidential to the advisory committee. Graduate School requirements for the master’s degree are outlined in the NC State University Graduate Catalog . Students are urged to review carefully the section pertaining to the degree sought.

Advisory Committee   At the master’s level, the Advisory Committee shall consist of at least: 1) two members from the TATM graduate faculty. The third committee member may be a TATM graduate faculty member or a NC State University Graduate Faculty Member.

Information About Resources

This LibGuide provides a very small portion of textile-related resources that are available. Textiles involve a multi-disciplinary (including, but not limited to: art, art history, archaeology, anthropology, business, chemistry, geography, and history) approach to study and there exists overlap in the relationships between different disciplines of study.  With respect to the hundreds of fields, aspects, and geographical orgins associated with textiles, this LibGuide touches upon four general topics:

Design  addresses aesthetic components and choices relative to textile design and focuses on two aspects: color and surface design.  "Color" touches upon the human perception of color and the values that can be associated or measured with color; some people have based their entire education and professional work in the study of color and color systems alone.  "Surface design"  refers to a few examples of affecting different aesthetics and/or textures to textile materials.

Fiber touches upon fiber classification, creating textiles from fibers, sustainable fibers, and textile quality and control standards. Because there are an infinite number of options regarding technique and stylistic interpretations, this is a very basic introduction to the basic components of textile production.

History focuses on the resources about the history of textiles as well as historical resources about textiles. Because textiles have origins before the written word, this LibGuide will not extensively delve into the history of textiles. 

Images offers a few resources to find visual examples of textiles through keyword searches in databases containing relevant images.

News/Blogs provides links to seven different web pages and blogs through RSS feeds: Textile Exchange, the TAFA (Textile and Fiber Artists) List, Textile Source Blog, The Textile Blog, R. John Howe's Textile and Text Blog (associated with The Textile Museum), Puff and Flock, and 2Modern Design Talk.

Preservation offers some suggestions for how to care for and preserve textiles and lists the most common "enemies" of textiles. Additionally, a list of books on the topic of textile preservation are included.

These topics are meant to be starting points for you research and/or curiosity about textiles.  Hopefully, they will inspire you to explore further and enjoy the world of textiles!

Textiles are no more limited for use as apparels clothing is just are but not the only purpose of textiles with the rapid changes in the social economic structure of our society. Many efforts are made to some and protect human life. Textiles come to our help in every walk of life. Similarly, textiles enhancing the quality of human life trough protection against various hazards as well as protection of environment are today’s priorities were scientist all around the world are breaking their heads. Technical textiles are the fastest growing area of textile consumption in the world. As per the market survey it has projected an average growth rate of 4% for technical textiles during the period 1995-2005 In most of the developed countries, technical textiles already account for 4% of the total textile production. Even in many developing countries, the proportion is well above 10%. At present, India’s contribution in this area is negligible at about 0.2%.However, due to competition from neighboring countries ad emerging economic power, India has tremendous potential for production, Consumption and export of technical textile. In the circumstances, textiles are playing major role through its diversified applications and undoubtedly the future of this technical textiles appears tom be bright in this, lot of uses are there. They are medical textiles, protective textiles, agricultural textiles, geo textiles, automotive textiles, smart textiles and industrial textiles.

To understand textiles and their application today, as well as future applications, it is necessary to comprehend the development of textiles and their applications throughout history. The gradual development of textile production processes and the use of different materials, influenced the development and application of materials themselves. Numerous innovations made since Industrial revolution, events in technology development and international competition have shaped the industry and continue to affect the textile production even today. Nowadays, textiles can be divided into two main sectors according to their application: conventional textiles (textiles for fashion clothing) and technical textiles with numerous applications for nearly all society needs. Due to market needs and technology development, the interference of all areas of science occurs, resulting in amazing innovations that follow existing trends and set future trends in terms of interactivity, digital and electronic...

This series aims to broadly cover all the aspects related to textiles science and technology and clothing science and technology. Below are the areas fall under the aims and scope of this series, but not limited to: Production and properties of various natural and synthetic fibres; Production and properties of different yarns, fabrics and apparels; Manufacturing aspects of textiles and clothing; Modelling and Simulation aspects related to textiles and clothing; Production and properties of Nonwovens; Evaluation/testing of various properties of textiles and clothing products; Supply chain management of textiles and clothing; Aspects related to Clothing Science such as comfort; Functional aspects and evaluation of textiles; Textile biomaterials and bioengineering; Nano, micro, smart, sport and intelligent textiles; Various aspects of industrial and technical applications of textiles and clothing; Apparel manufacturing and engineering; New developments and applications pertaining to textiles and clothing materials and their manufacturing methods; Textile design aspects; Sustainable fashion and textiles; Green Textiles and Eco-Fashion; Sustainability aspects of textiles and clothing; Environmental assessments of textiles and clothing supply chain; Green Composites; Sustainable Luxury and Sustainable Consumption; Waste Management in Textiles; Sustainability Standards and Green labels; Social and Economic Sustainability of Textiles and Clothing.

The textile industry has been developing rapidly and newer technologies are introduced and the only formula for survival is encapsulating those innovations into the manufacturing process and making the best of use them for increasing the productivity and quality. Owing to the rapid development of novel sciences and technologies, textile materials have also found applications in the technical field in recent years. A new sector of technical textiles is launched and the textile industry is very optimistic that these products will open up new target groups and sustainable markets. Textile industries in Europe and the US struggle against cheap textile imports from Asia or Eastern Europe. The products can be sold very cheap and are distributed all over the world. The future of the Indian Textile and Apparel Industry depends on highly specialized products with added values. The textile industry develops advanced fiber types which are already available or will be available in the near future and can compete on the market. This will also have some influence in forensic fibres investigations. Smart Clothes and Intelligent Textiles are catchphrases but what can we expect to find behind these slogans and how can we determine new fiber types in forensic investigation? Especially the identification of nano-particles and nano-composites is a task for the forensic scientist. The question how and if the forensic scientist has to develop more refined techniques to identify these specialized textiles and fiber types is highlighted. Though there are some disadvantages in manufacturing method, research work is going on to make them completely viable in the technical textile industry. Keywords: nano-particles, nano-composites, Smart Clothes, Intelligent Textiles

Textile products are classified into products for clothing, household, and technical textiles. Products for clothing and household goods such as curtains, textile wallpapers, fabrics, furniture, carpets, and so on can be easily defined. Textiles that do not fit into these categories may be considered technical textiles. Technical textiles are products designed to perform a specific function. In this category are the woven fabrics presented in this chapter, such as webbings or woven fabrics used to produce reinforcing elements of composite materials.

The strategies of the world are changing direction as a result of the innovative developments and technological evolutions. This change in the scenario has put lot of thrust on R & D activities to deliver High Performance products to various applications. Proper utilization of the latest technology and using a techno engineering approach is the need of the hour to bring a sea change in the departments where they are to be modernized. A road map has been created identifying the critical areas with a view to equip the undeveloped areas with the start of the art performance with dual object of awakening the industry to modern trends and thereby meeting the expectations of the particular field. High performance textiles are the one, which is to fulfil the modern requirements of any industry. High performance fibres and their high tech products possess a wide range of properties like high modulus; high strength and low density and they are also capable of withstanding high temperatures. This makes them useful for Aerospace, Nuclear Biological Chemical warfare protective clothing, Ballistic armor applications (Bullet proofs, Helmets).
