Apparel Design Engineering

👚With @ADEUoM, we brought together fashion enthusiasts, academics & industry experts to explore the latest advances in sportswear design & technology🏃‍♀️. Check out what we got up to: new.express.adobe.com/webpage/oF5CgY… #fashiontechnology @kristinabrubi @UoMMaterials

Next up in Industry 5.0, @QiantongC47555 from @ADEUoM shares ways to enhance the development of bras in adolescent females: “Bras can give better support to a woman's breasts. Interviews to collect women's views on bras during puberty and anthropometric data analysis can help.”

In Industry 5.0, Hailah, @ADEUoM, shows educational tools that transfer knowledge to the work environment: “My research leads an educational initiative with tech to transition the fashion industry to a more efficient & sustainable paradigm via pattern engineering.” Read below:

The problem with the hands-off approach is that there is zero control and regulation, while manufacturers compete to offer ultra low price. buff.ly/3Rb8YLQ

Designs for bespoke jumpers made with visual artist and @OfficialUoM all gratefully funded by our pals @SuperbiaMCR #LGBTQIA @hleaw @RandR_creative

Great to see the bespoke sweatshirts decorated and worn. Pleased the research of the Apparel Design Engineering group was able to support this @UoMMaterials @OfficialUoM

@TheMancMensRoom It was a pleasure for the ADE group to deliver 5 bespoke sweatshirts, from body scan to bespoke garments for the men's room. Pleased that @OfficialUoM can support Manchester pride and those preparing to celebrate. We hope the customisation of the sweatshirts goes well.

We have been doing some amazing Virtual Reality drawings. We have also been and had body scans to make jumpers. SESSION TODAY MEET 1.30 at Office, we are going to pick the jumpers up!

We kick off the afternoon with Simeon Gill from @ADEUoM, presenting some garments created from body scanners! We discuss the implications and benefits using 3D scanning in creating bespoke products and what this means for local manufacture. @UoMCreativeMCR #fashionisengineering

Read about some of the recent developments by the ADE team, JBlock pattern block automation from @SizeStream body scanning data: JBlockCreator: An open source, pattern drafting framework to facilitate the automated manufacture of made-to-measure clothing doi.org/10.1016/j.soft…

@becky_n22 Whilst this is from 2015 there is some further details here on how sizing systems operate, as well as a comparison between retailers sizing over time bodyscanning.wordpress.com We share your concern about the impact of ready to wear clothing on body image.

@ADEUoM Thank you very much. I will certainly keep that in mind when I am next in the area. Will certainly be interesting to get more of an insight on the issue.

All 3 skirts are supposedly a Topshop size 10 but in reality they are all different sizes 🤷🏻‍♀️ No wonder people develop issues with how they view their body when one shop can’t be consistent with its own sizing, let alone with other retailers 😤
