enrich the composition of a garment and increase
its expressiveness.
It should be noted that the creation of signature
texture is a designer’s experiment. For such an
experiment to succeed, the ideas must be bold
and creative, the material choice not necessarily
standard, and the execution awless – only then
can a successful product result be achieved.
Therefore, we believe that project design will
only have a compelling effect when the designer’s
design thinking is professionally developed and
they possess the following qualities:
• The ability to identify and clearly articulate
a task;
• The ability to generate a large number of
ideas within a limited time;
• The ability to nd original solutions;
• The ability to quickly devise the most
incredible answers to a given problem.
Design thinking is a method that helps solve
unusual yet crucial problems for the designer.
The term rst appeared in 1969 in Herbert
Simon’s book «The Sciences of the Articial»
(Pashkevich, Kilnitska, Brukhliy, & Kersnovska,
2016).
The unique feature of design thinking lies in
its human-centered approach rather than business-
centered goals. The core questions a designer
asks when searching for solutions are: «Who will
use the product?» and «How will it impact the
user’s life?» The stages of design thinking involve
transitions from abstract to concrete thinking and
back. This way, the designer avoids xating on the
obvious and adopts a broad perspective, enabling
innovative solutions.
The activity of design thinking depends on
the richness of the designer’s inner world and
comprehensive perception. As a result, a specic
algorithm for the development of design thinking
is established during the modeling of new garment
forms, particularly when creating signature
textures (Hryhorova, 2021).
Analysis of key research and publications
showed that the topic of diverse embellishments
in modern costume design remains insuciently
explored, although certain aspects of the issue
have been reected in some dissertation studies
and scholarly works. A review of specialized
literature revealed that the issue of design thinking
in the development of contemporary clothing
has been explored to some extent by scholars
such as H. Huseinov, V. Yermilova, D. Yermilova,
M. Kiloshenko, Z. Kukushkina, H. Petushkova,
Ye. Rachynska, V. Sydorenko, Z. Tkanko,
O. Korovytskyi and I. Kosyak.
The work «Technologies and Design in the
Fashion Industry» (Ryabchykov, Holovenko,
Nazarchuk, & Shovkomud, O. 2023) is dedicated
to the decoration of garments with detachable
elements such as collars, cuffs, jabots, coquilles,
boas, scarves, kerchiefs, shawls, ties, belts, owers,
and more.
In «Fashion and Clothing: Fundamentals
of Design and Production», M.V. Kolosnichenko
and K.L. Protsyk categorize decorations based
on their impact on garment structure – as at,
volumetric, or accessory-based (Kolosnichenko,
Protsyk, 2011). In the article «Textural Form-
Making in Contemporary Fashion Design»,
M.V. Kisil categorizes volumetric textures as
seamless, sewn-on, inlaid, or origami-based (Kisil,
2016).
The article by Pashkevich K., Liu Jiangxin,
Postelnyak A., and Kinchina O., titled «Perforation
as a Decoration Method in Modern Fashion
Collections», explores the use of perforation in
garment decoration, classifying it by type, materials
used, and production methods (Pashkevych, Lyu
Tszyansinʹ, Postelʹnyak, & Kinchyna, 2018).
Given the research topic, studies that
generalize the classication of texture types for
garment materials are of particular interest. In
this regard, the work Mykhailyuk, N.V. Ostapenko,
M.V. Kolosnichenko, I.L. Haiova. In their publication
*Means of Enhancing the Artistic Expressiveness
of Textured Textile Solutions*, Mykhailyuk,
Ostapenko, and Kolosnichenko analyze various
means of creating textured textile designs,
including their types and production techniques
(Mykhaylyuk, Ostapenko, Kolosnichenko, 2021).
L.S. Hryhorova (2021), in her article
«Development of Authorial Textures and Their
Use in Fashion Design of Contemporary Clothing»,
investigates the role of original textures in fashion
design and reviews student collections from the
Design Department at H.S. Skovoroda KhNPU from
the perspective of innovative texture development
and application
