Rare Romanian Ethnographic Textiles—Reverse Engineering of Fabrics for Fashion Trends

Abstract

(1) Investigating, collecting data with specific character, as well as registering and investigating data concerning ornaments and colors, patterns as expressive possibilities of designs of Romanian folk textile are important activities to do. The first goal of the research undertaken was to collect, preserve, and protect knowledge about old patterns and weaving techniques in selected regions of Romania, and the second to use old patterns for the modern needs of folk handicraft weaving and the clothing industry. (2) In the undertaken research, material was obtained from antique textiles, clothes, and paintings on canvas, from selected objects in the Maramureș region and Bihor region. The selection was made by the ReliefF method. The specimens of specification throw weight by the geometry method was used to characterize the types of weaving techniques. Principal component analysis methods were used to reduce the amount of data of the vector of textural features. (3) The research on selected Romanian textiles allowed for the construction of a model of texture features that describes them. The results include the specimens’ measurements, analysis of fabric structures, yarn specification, and the reconstruction of the fabrics. Based on the obtained results, a simulation of fashion trends was performed. (4) The analysis of individual components increased the knowledge of weaving techniques in the studied regions and may be an inspiration for contemporary design in local and regional handicrafts as well as in the clothing industry.

Digital Color Images as a Tool for the Sustainable Use of Embroidery Elements from Folk Costumes

“…This research has improved upon the work of Elnashar et al [15]. The indices of Bulgarian folklore elements were formed into a vector containing the most informative of them.…”

“…Elnashar et al [15] conducted research on the possibility of extracting data from elements of Romanian costumes and their use in the field of contemporary sustainable fashion. An advantage of the presented results is that the authors used available technical means, such as an optical microscope and techniques for acquiring, processing, and analyzing digital color images, to extract data about textile fabrics.…”

“…The fifth-generation technology banks are therefore generally less expensive, less complex, and have a shorter development time than true fifth-generation technology banks, while maintaining capabilities significantly in advance of those of the original fourth generation. Such capabilities may include advanced sensor integration, transformation radar for data, super cruise capability, increasing wefts super maneuverability, broad multi-role capability, and reduced rapier strips cross-section [10][11][12], and four key use-case archetypes, which will require 5G to deliver on its promise of evolutionary change in network performance of machines in textile industries are: The fifth-generation automation textiles and clothing have introduced integrated rapier systems, such as the weaving featuring the optronique secteur frontal integrated technology banks of the sensor fusion and machine perception frontier in automation textiles industrial robotics for intelligent manufacturing. The producers introduced automation textiles and clothing machines, which were also retrofitted to earlier production models.…”
