The “Mini Me” In Fashion Design as Contemporary Trend and Social Attitude - Juniper Publishers

Image
Journal of Fashion Technology -  Juniper publishers Introduction The term “mini me” is actually used to identify a very recent phenomenon of the fashion industry referring to collections of coordinated clothes or accessories designed for both parents and children, and in particular for the target mother-daughter. At the beginning, this practice was created a few years ago in the USA and made public through its adoption by well-known actresses and bloggers especially during public occasions such as Gala, Golden Globe, Red Carpet evenings. During this kind of happenings famous mothers and daughters wore luxurious coordinated outfits. Pretty soon, from haute couture this trend began spreading and attracted the attention of fashion brands (from ready-to-wear to mass market), which started to design capsule collections dedicated to this particular public of users. In the autumn-winter 2015-16, Dolce & Gabbana fashion house decided to dedicate the collection named «Viva la Mam

Short Comment on the Current Understanding of Ecological Behavior of Metal Azo Dyes and the Case for Proactive Wastewater Treatment - Juniper Publishers

Image
Journal of Fashion Technology -  Juniper publishers Abstract The relative non-toxic metal azo dyes present in wastewaters may be transported to long-distances where the metallic ion and the azo ligand may separate and manifest their own ecotoxicities. The environmental factors which can affect this may be too complex to monitor, and the case of on-site treatment at dye manufacturing or textile facilities is developed in this narrative. A simple mono-azo dye, namely, Eriochrome Black T, is introduced to illustrate molecular structures of metal azo dyes and possible candidate for ad hoc, preliminary testing of future treatment methods. Keywords:  Metal azo dye; Eriochrome black T; Ecotoxicology; Wastewater treatment Go to Introduction Ever since the synthesis of the first metallizable azo dye, alizarin yellow, from diazotized 4-nitroaniline and salicylic acid by the German chemist Rudolf Nietzki in 1887, followed by the synthesis of the first metallizable 2-2’-dihy

Chitosan Application in Textile Processing - Juniper Publishers

Image
Journal of Fashion Technology -  Juniper publishers Keywords Keywords:  Chitosan; Textile processing; Antibacterial finishing; Anti-wrinkle finishing; Dyeing; Antistatic finishing Go to Introduction Traditional textile products from fibres such as wool, cotton, silk, polyester, etc. are unable to meet the increasing demand for aesthetics, comfort, healthcare and industrial applications. Functional fabrics possessing antibacterial, anti-wrinkle, dyeing, antistatic and other special properties have received broad attention in the textile industry and fashion world. Chitosan is a product obtained by deacetylation of chitin, which is widely distributed in nature (e.g. shellfish, insects and certain fungi). It has multiple applications in the biomedical and other areas due to its characteristics of excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, ecological safety, non-toxicity and its versatile biological effects such as antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor activity and

Chitosan Fiber in Textile Engineering: Advanced Dressing from a Natural Source - Juniper Publishers

Image
Journal of Fashion Technology -  Juniper publishers Abstract Chitosan is a naturally-occurring starch (polymer) derived from the shells of crustaceans. Chitosan consists of primarily of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose unit linked by β-(1-4) linkage, and small amount of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues. Chitosan has been found with important and wide properties in agriculture, antimicrobial field, cosmetics, food, medicine, and textile engineering. Many researches showed chitosan had antimicrobial activities on bacteria, postharvest pathogens, plant phytopathogenic fungi, yeast and virus. Here, the authors mentioned beneficial effects of chitosan-based materials in advanced wound dressings. Keywords:  Chitosan; Textile engineering; Wound dressing, Polysaccharide; Crustaceans; Diatoms sponges; Biomedical applications; Biodegradable biopolymer Go to Introduction Chitin (β-(1-4)-poly-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) is widely distributed in nature and is the second most abunda

ISO Standards and European Norms for Size Designation of Clothes - Juniper Publishers

Image
Journal of Fashion Technology -  Juniper publishers Abstract Customers can recognize the information on the size designation very rarely to the full extent because only experts can understand them. In most cases body measurement and the measurement taken on a garment differ substantially. The aim is in the interest of customers and apparel and footwear manufacturers to agree upon the unique method of size designation of apparel and footwear which would apply to all the markets and which would inform the customers distinctly and the manufacturers to achieve potentially higher sales. Keywords:  ISO standards; European norms; Clothes; Body mass; Two-arm anthropometers; Slope angle; Measuring techniques Go to Introduction By updating ISO 3385 standard [1] and by issuing ISO 8259 and ISO 9427 standards the foundations of the unique definition of body measurements for the needs of the clothing industry as well as for the implementation of anthropometric measurements an
