Adapting Lindqvist’s Kinetic Garment Method for an Upcycled, Zero-Waste Childrenswear Romper
(Iowa State University Digital Press, 2018) Stanley, April Elisha; McKinney, Ellen C.
The purpose was to research methods for creating a sustainable little
girls’ garment by upcycling menswear (e.g., button-down shirt and ties). Specific elements of
sustainability focused on include zero-waste and garment adjustability to increase useful
lifespan. The market analysis invoked a secondary goal: a bifurcated design. Lindqvist’s (2013)
experimental patternmaking technique of kinetic garment construction was chosen for
experimentation in conjunction with upcycled textiles as his cutting and wrapping methods may
be adaptable for creating upcycled and zero-waste garments.
New Configurations in Fashion: Innovative Forms Meet Engineered Textile Printing
(Iowa State University Digital Press, 2018) Sanders, Eulanda A.; McKinney, Ellen C.; Baytar, Fatma
June 15 – 21, 2017 the New Configurations in Fashion: Innovative Forms Meet Engineered Textile Printing workshop was held at Iowa State University. The project was funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the Donna R. Danielson Professorship in Textiles and Clothing at Iowa State University. The goal of the workshop was to establish a physical space and time where participants can: (a) create innovative textile and fashion designs, (b) develop textile designs that follow the form and structure of the garments, and (c) utilize patternmaking techniques such as subtraction cutting, zero waste, three dimensional, computerization, or 3D body scanning. The workshop was designed for junior faculty and graduate students who had a demonstrated record of artist excellence or the potential for excellence in the field of fashion and textile design.
