| Summary: | The paper describes a new research methodology through design that has also proven relevant for the field of fashion design. According to some scientific opinions, the field of research in fashion design does not meet scientific standards, although that research produces original knowledge and products. The newly and artificially designed affiliated clothing image, which addresses the needs of tourism, found its inspiration in cultural heritage. The inspiration for the creation of symbolic signs and their application in individual garments was carefully selected from the story of local heritage. Newly designed clothing inspired by the story of local heritage should promote the recognition and acceptance of the affiliated clothing image as part of the identity of people from a particular region. This paper presents the definition and analysis of design processes for a known client, in this case a tourism organisation. The designer seeks practical and innovative solutions throughout the design process, from the definition of the local story to be interpreted, through collaboration with a client and the public, to the design of an affiliated symbol and its application in the clothing image, the production planning process and manufacturing, and finally the presentation of products to the public and the promotion of those products. An example of best practices in the designing of affiliated clothing for Bohinj is presented, where the design in question was tested in practice. In this process, the designer took into account the fact that design, as a process, is a form of cooperation, in which the members of the development team should be respected and understood. |
