Journal of Fashion Technology -  Juniper publishers  Abstract Fabric segmentation has recently increased widely in diverse fields of computer technology of which printed fabric pattern is of no exception. This is due to the fact original printed fabric is just inadequate to extract suitable information for further applications. In textile industry, automation inspection for pattern recognition helps not only to improve fabric quality but also to reduce cost and wastage of time since human inspection is not 100% guaranteed. Printed fabric samples are washed, ironed, scanned and then preprocessed with median filter and segmented by k-means clustering algorithm. In this paper, we present a thorough analysis of k-means algorithm on printed fabric pattern as input data considering time taken on the unsupervised clustering. Thorough analysis of experimental results demonstrated that the complexity in clustering has reduced to its minimal with good application specific and good t

Journal of Fashion Technology -  Juniper publishers  Abstract A strategic alliance has been used in various terms, including co-marketing, strategic partnership, interfirm cooperation, and cooperative strategies. A strategic alliance is a cooperative arrangement among partners who share skills and resources to yield high/superior productivities for each individual firm's profits. Using strategic alliance for luxury products may be an effective way of enhancing the value of products. The combination of two companies' strengths not only provides greater outputs, but also nurtures consumers' expectation toward the products. Because more and more industries will use this kind of alliances, academic researchers will need to pay attention to those consumers who prefer unique marketing strategies. Keywords:  Strategic alliance; Synergy; Fashion technology Go to Introduction Since the 1990s, the majority of American domestic firms have entered an internat

The fit of a garment contributes to the confidence and comfort of the wearer [ 2 , 3 ], while it is a complex interplay between physical and psychological structures, which is critical, in order for one to appear well dressed. The attributes that make a garment personal are precisely those that cannot be designed ahead of time, especially in mass production. Manufacturers' try- many provide customization services, while others allow special orders and specifications or provide a flexible product that, once purchased, can be tuned and tailored by the people who use it. However, garments do not become personal because we have selected some alternatives from a catalogue of choices. Most of the time we are unable to make up the garments we need, for we lack the tools and expe

Journal of Fashion Technology -  Juniper publishers  Opinion I believe that as human being, as individuals and communities we have an impact on our environment. It is a perfect system in which we live. The problem of the resources exploitation is a dangerous reality, the industrial production is a huge weight on the planet, from water pollution to energy use. When we think about textiles and their production process people use to don't think about all the ecological implication that are connected to this system, they focus their attention on the final object (clothes, shoes, accessories). This article wants to analyse one of the world most popular textile: the leather Leather is a very ancient material and a lot of people tends to think of it as an environmental friendly one because in the collective imagination it is a resulting material, but that's not true. The leather production requests the use of a variety of chemicals that can be harmful if worked off in

Journal of Fashion Technology -  Juniper publishers  Abstract Compression stockings are considered as a gold standard for the treatment of phlebological and lymphatic diseases with an aid of compression therapy. It has been a great challenge for health practitioners and technocrats involved in designing the stockings to maintain the constant pressure for long time. Currently, there are several shortcomings of the stockings with lack of innovation in material research. At present, compression stockings are made of continuous strand of textile fibers including Nylon and Lycra or spandex. There is a need of scientific approach to incorporate any alternative smart material, which could allow to have the external pressure control. The major problems, challenges involved, and our research approach to solve the present shortcomings are highlighted. The present status of the material research towards designing the smart medical compression stockings and our significant pioneer con

Journal of Fashion Technology -  Juniper publishers  Abstract Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technique has been regarded as one of the most efficient and promising approaches for the functionalization of complex-shaped surfaces due to its precise and simple thickness control, excellent conformality. Additionally, mild growth conditions such as low temperature and oxygen-free characteristic of ALD made it particularly attracting for the fabrication of functional textiles. Functionalization of natural or synthetic fabrics such as cotton, silk, polyvinyl alcohol, Kevlar and even to chemical-inert Carbon Fiber (CFF) via ALD to endow them with super hydrophobicity, conductivity, antibacterial activity, UV-blocking property, anti-yellowing property, and retardancy are reviewed. Finally, the challenges and perspectives on the application of ALD in the functionalization of fabrics are proposed. Keywords:  Atomic layer deposition; Functional fabrics; Future challenges Go to
