Abstract:
Functional clothing represents the evolutionary segment of the technical textiles market, representing an area where clothing crosses the conventional boundaries and integrates with the domains of medicine, biotechnology, nanotechnology, physics and computing among others, to meet the multifaceted and complex requirements of the user. Functional clothing by definition is user-requirement specific and designed or engineered to meet the performance requirements of the user under extreme conditions. A variety of functional clothing products are available in the market as protective clothing, medical clothing or sports clothing, even though little information is available regarding the principles employed in their production. Functional clothing in fact has never really been systematically defined or classified, unlike technical textiles. In this paper, a functionality-based classification has been proposed with six classes, comprehensively covering most logical types of functional clothing that are in use or are under development. Each distinct class would have similar principles governing the design of products covered under it, even though the final products may find application in a variety of fields, e.g. protective functional clothing may find an application as protective military armour, as sports armour or as protective surgical gowns for the doctors. Principles that characterize each class and differentiate it from the others have been highlighted. As newer technologies are being developed, new and innovative products and possibly new classes will keep on emerging in this field to meet the requirements of consumers.Keywords:

Evaluation of textiles and fashion clothing is an important part in Kansei science and engineering. An enormous range of textiles is produced for use in clothing. If the information relating to these textiles is placed in a database so customers or buyers can browse, select, and purchase textiles using an information device, the textile maker will be able to reduce expenses relating to sample manufacture and exhibition costs. Furthermore, the firm`s market reach becomes global. A comprehensive search is necessary to find the new textile. A practical method was proposed based on a designer`s selection process and the use of multimedia instead of analysis by measurement. For the benefit of the international clothing design and production industry, it is necessary to develop a system of informatization of textiles that is suitable for the global market.
Evaluation and informatization of clothing are useful to manufacturers in terms of garment design and to customers in terms of selecting suitable garments. We investigated the impression on Japanese and European jackets taking into account elegance aspect. We also evaluated Japanese and Chinese clothing by experts taking into account salability. The effects of combinations of patternmaking methods and dress forms on garment appearance were investigated. The effect of the difference between body dimensions and jacket measurements on the appearance of a ready-made tailored jacket was also studied. From these researches, necessary information was provided with the clothing form. Therefore, it is necessary to informatize the clothing form and to analyze the reason for the Kansei evaluation.

While studying the development of clothing,if we regard Chinese clothing as an example,we will find that the development of clothing can be divided into two ways.One is chronological way.That is,a long history in which clothing changes as time goes on,but the basic characteristics are carried on.The other is the fusion among Chinese clothing,clothing of minority nationalities,and those of foreign nationalities.The latter will certainly become the main trend in the present world,and will be the main tendency of clothing development.

ABSTRACT.The mainstay of the paper is formed by an analysis of the semantic expression of smart clothes, the symbol functions of clothing and fashion, functionality of smart clothing, and the complexity and diversity of wearables. We are specifically interested in how previous research investigated user requirements during the functional clothing development process, the end-user needs for smart clothing, the scope of functional clothing, and the meaning of clothing and fashion.Keywords: smart clothes, wearable, fashion, textile products1. IntroductionThe findings of this study have implications for the integration of utilities in smart wearables and clothing, the embodied nature of clothing, the relationship between clothing and identity, and clothing concepts that facilitate social interaction. This paper is grounded in the considerable body of scholarship examining the use of clothing and fashion to symbolize and communicate social roles, the design process of clothing and fashion, smart functions to be applied to clothing and textiles, and remediation of the wearable space. Our paper contributes to the literature by providing evidence on the nexus between the placement and integration of wearable technology, the integration of smart functionality into clothing and other textile products, and the integration of electronic technologies to build smart textile systems.2. Smart Functions to Be Applied to Clothing and TextilesOn Steffen' s reading, clothing and apparel are used for protecting the body against inhospitable climates and for reasons of modesty and attraction. Fashion is a matter of symbolism, whereas the concepts or male and female clothing are socially constructed (the gender concept of male and female clothing is a matter of symbolism). A fabric or a garment communicates its manufacturing technique as well as its decoration technique. The semantic or communicative functions of clothing serve as a non-verbal medium by which meanings and values are produced and exchanged. Clothing and garments are an important bearer of meaning and communicate. The growing segment of smart textiles and smart clothes are a challenge for textile and fashion designers.1Textile and fashion designers are faced with the challenge to adapt the novel hybrid clothing to customer expectations.2 By clothing Twigg means the empirical reality of dressed bodies: clothing operates as part of class identity, forming the vestimentary envelope that contains the body and presents it to the social world. Wearing the right clothes are the dominant concerns of most people. Competitive class emulation is the engine of fashion. Fashion helps to reproduce gender as a form of body style. Clothes are cultural artefacts, operating in conjunction with and in response to the body (they stand alone as artefacts, and act simultaneously as an intermediary between the body and its public presentation).3 Vincent says that fashion has the ability to imply novelty, acts as a meeting point for relations of power, and is at once fantasy and social regulation (practices of dress denote forms of citizenship in a variety of ways). Dress reflects something about the body and character of the wearer, and about the body politic.4 Suh et al. assert that clothing products start with market needs. Functional clothing development can be characterized by user-oriented processes. Consumers wear functional clothing because they have special needs, and may want to enjoy most advanced technology without losing their fashion sense. Smart clothing integrates functional clothing design and portable technology (technical aspects have strong influences in smart clothing development).53. The Integration of Smart Functionality into Clothing and Other Textile ProductsHwang and Seruga explore a collaborative network model and an intelligent framework to effectively manage the textile supply chains (an alternative to improve competitive power of the Korean textile industry). …
