The Exploration of Geometric Modular System in Textile and Apparel Design

---

Abstract

The fashion industry today is plagued with large quantities of textile waste. The waste of resources caused by fast fashion because of the short-term life cycle of each garment has awakened wide concern in society. To investigate the concept of modularity in textile and apparel design and explore the possibilities of creating fitted garments allowing more modular design options, the researcher focused on creating two modular designs based on a modular system to test out the effectiveness of the design research. The purpose of this design research was to develop a modular system for textile and apparel design allowed for the creation of fitted garment constructions to elevate the potential of modular design and provide a framework for research in modular design practice.
