Abstract

For the clothing-based industry, conventional elements' presence in a design increases its demand and acceptance. Nowadays technology plays a vital role in the development of fashion, but it’s never the replacement of traditional elements applied to modern fashion design. The author has at first studied the Khadi fabric, Bangladesh from the perspective of its distinctive regional background and social-cultural milieu. Besides the traditional technique, conventional fabric using in the dress design will enhance its morality and aesthetic appearance. The purpose of this study is to explore the traditional Kantha embroidery which will be revitalized through a design process in order to archive its characteristics, heritage, and practice. The results of this study signify a design process from traditional art to modern dress design process through analyzing of mind mapping, mood board, color board, style board, accessories board, fabric swatch, and the final sketch. The outcome of this research will show the transformation of traditional Kanta embroidery which will be adopted by Khadi fabric in order to generate a new trend of the design process in Bangladesh. The author also finalizes the design by ornamenting the surface ornamentations. Finally, the outcome of this study will impact the new upcoming fashion industry and also in the garment industries.
