Abstract [en]

The prevalent method of sketching in fashion design education is primarily based on the ‘nine heads’ reference, wherein the body is divided into nine equal sections from the head to the ankles. This method facilitates the drawing of shape, form, and constructional design details when making dress, but limits exploration of the silhouette. The research presented in this article challenged this by exploring a method of sketching in which materials, in the form of nine spheres held together by a knitted, tubular structure, were draped to investigate the artistic potential of alternative forms and body-textile expressions. This exploration resulted in openness in design thinking and a dialogue regarding the scale and proportions of the body with regard to sketching using materials. The findings contribute to the fashion design education field by suggesting an alternative starting point and sketching method for making dress.  

Abstract [es]

El método predominante de dibujar en la educación en diseño de moda se basa principalmente en la referencia de las “nueve cabezas”, en las que el cuerpo se divide en nueve secciones iguales desde la cabeza hasta los tobillos. Este método facilita el dibujo de la forma, la forma y los detalles del diseño de construcción al hacer el vestido, pero limita la exploración de la silueta. La investigación presentada en este artículo desafió esto al explorar un método de dibujo en el que los materiales, en forma de nueve esferas unidas por una estructura tubular tejida, se cubrieron para investigar el potencial artístico de formas alternativas y expresiones corporales-textiles. Esta exploración dio como resultado una apertu- ra en el pensamiento de diseño y un diálogo sobre la escala y las proporciones del cuerpo con respecto al boceto con materiales. Los hallazgos contribuyen al campo de la educación en diseño de moda al sugerir un punto de partida alternativo y un método de esbozo para hacer vestidos.
