Design analysis of reusable surgical clothes and new product development

Kirurški ogrtači se upotrebljavaju da se spriječi prelaženje virusa i drugih patogenih organizama na pacijenta i da se zaštiti medicinsko osoblje od izloženosti krvnim patogenima. Osnovna svrha im je sprječavati infekcije i bolesti, a pritom trebaju dobro pristajati i ne smiju sputavati nositelje. U ovom radu ispitivana su svojstva modela odjeće koju nosi medicinsko osoblje u kirurškom okruženju. Provedena je detaljna analiza dizajna kirurške odjeće koja se koristi u bolnicama u Izmiru. Kao rezultat ove analize dane su sugestije o potrebnim svojstvima modela i mjerenju kirurške odjeće koju nosi medicinsko osoblje u kirurškom okruženju.Surgical gowns are used to prevent viruses from passing through to the patient and also to keep medical staff away from blood pathogen exposures. Surgical gowns must prevent infections and diseases and provide adequate freedom to move as well. They must fit well and must not restrict movement. In this study, it was aimed to determine the model properties of the garment worn by surgical staff in surgical environments. For this purpose, for product development, a detailed design analysis was carried out on surgical garments used in hospitals in Izmir. As a result of this analysis, suggestions were made about the model properties and measurements of surgical clothes used by the staff in surgical environments

A Study on the Investigation of Sustainability Practices of Global Brands in the Fashion Market

Due to the careless use of natural resources, developments in technology, industrialization and population growth, environmental pollution and resource depletion are experienced in the world. The garment clothing and fashion industry has a significant impact on the rapid depletion of natural resources. The rapid change in fashion, especially in the garment clothing industry, negatively affects sustainability in the use of resources. Besides these; the careless use of large amounts of water and chemicals in production, and the release of waste to nature also harm the sustainability of life. These negative factors have started to increase consumption with environmental awareness, especially among consumers who care about nature. Conscious consumers' interest in nature has led to an increasing emphasis on sustainability in production and consumption by brands in ready-to-wear and other sectors. Especially in the Industry 4.0 process, the concept of sustainability has become one of the most important issues for global brands. The production of garment clothing products with natural fibres and materials is of great importance in terms of sustainability. These materials are compatible with nature and can be recycled. In apparel, due to long supply chains, energy and labour intensive production, ecological, economic and social sustainability studies are of high importance in the production and process management process.In the research, application examples of global brands in the ready-to-wear and fashion sector, based on sustainability studies, were examined. For example; Stella McCartney, one of the luxury fashion brands; uses organic cotton, eco-friendly fibre and recyclable polyester and cashmere for sustainability. While Mara Hoffman uses tencel fabric and organic cotton, Gucci has banned PVC in its products since 2015 and prefers to use a carbon zero footprint in its work. While DeFacto, one of the global ready-to-wear brands, implements many environmental projects related to PET bottles, water use and textile waste, global brands such as Nike, GAP, Levi's, C ; A, Inditex group, Nude Jeans also carry out exemplary studies on sustainability. As can be seen from the global brand examples, brands, on sustainability; develop applicable strategies in the fields of development goals, management of production and operation processes, supply policies, waste management

Fitting Evaluation of Pattern Making Systems According to Female Body Shapes

WOS: 000338825300017In order to provide clothing fit, it is necessary to associate garment patterns with body shapes. In this study, basic skirt patterns werecreated using the Computer Aided Design (CAD) system according to Contec, Metric, Muller, and Basic Blocks Pattern Making Systems in order to evaluate fit. These patterns are dressed up on virtual mannequins which have been created in the three-dimensional (3D) virtual sewing and try-on system. The mannequins' sizes (38) and body dimensions are specified according to international size charts. Besides this the body shapes are selected as hourglass, triangle, or rectangle. The fit is evaluated according to pressure and tension maps, which are the tools of the 3D virtual sewing and try-on system. Although the mannequins are in same the size, different results are obtained for each body shape. Also different results are acquired for each pattern making system. Consequently it can be said that the pattern making systems are not suitable for each body shape

A study about garment collection preparation steps and quality control methods

WOS: 000321682200007In this paper, the mainly defined factors such as color, fabric, model of a commercial collection which was prepared for a commercial brand were examined. Five t-shirt designs existing in the collection were chosen and all the collection preparation step details, aesthetic and technical quality control methods from design to final garment were observed in a medium-size apparel company. The achieved results showed that for preparing a successful collection, first of all, the quality control steps must be determined for each style, and then both aesthetic and technical quality controls should be made by qualified people. There has not been enough study about garment collection preparation steps in the literature. The results of the study will be helpful to apparel manufacture industry for preparing better and quality collections

DIFFERENCE OF SURFACE DERMATOFAGOID ALLERGEN CONCENTRATION ON 0-2 YEARS AGE GROUP AND BABY AND CHILDREN CLOTHES MANUFACTURED FROM VARIOUS FABRICS

WOS: 000279625200013Allergic illness based on home dust affects not only the life style of the adults as well as the life quality of the children. Mites are found in all kinds of home textile products and clothing. The main reason that triggers the asthma illness in babies and children is these bugs called mites which cannot be seen with naked eye. In this study, the factors that cause allergic effects due to textile clothing are aimed to be investigated in the most used baby underwear. With this purpose, underwears produced from six different kinds of knitted fabrics worn to each child for three days were investigated. Under the light of this study, the most appropriate fabric types were determined in order to prevent asthma in children based on mites
