In our modern society there are many types of clothes with unique styles and various materials. Unlike before, males and females consider what they wear and disregard how much money they spend. Living in modern world, people desire to be in trend, to gain admiration and respect.
Clothes make people more confident and for some of them these have a major role in their lifes. Many people know the expression “you are what you eat”. But is there really a true part in the expression “you are what you wear”?
Garments and jewelry, as well as the design of one's living environment in general, bear characteristics of power, gender and human condition. Clothes reflect in many ways our social preferences and our personality.
Fashion designers are influenced by works of art, quote them in the clothes they design and respond to them. The course Body Oriented Textile Design has been conducted for two years jointly by the department of Textile Design in Shenkar College and by the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.
The course, which integrates art, fashion and textile design, aims at developing new, original textile materials, which will allow for expressive effects through properties such as softness, stiffness, transparency, colorfulness, flexibility and various kinds of texture.
