Nature, Weave and Color: Plant Resources in the Sustainable Design and Manufacture of Accessories for Prosperity Fashion

Abstract

[EN] This article presents an innovative methodological alternative devised from both a technical and artistic approach, in order to offer a systemic response to sustainability in the fashion industry through the use of ecofriendly materials and techniques, inspired by artisanal tradition and knowledge of nature, on which research is carried out by determining and formalizing the final product. An analysis of natural fibers and pigments has been carried out, as well as experimental tests with chromatic treatment and plant printing techniques, such as ¿Ecoprint¿ and ¿Shibori¿, which have resulted in the design and development of a tote bag model as a practical example. From these initial solutions, the project remains open to the incorporation of new patterns and traditional techniques, always respecting ecological processes. This initiative aspires to consolidate itself as a comprehensive sustainable fashion proposal that, since its inception, is committed to authenticity, aesthetics and respect for the environment.
