1. State of the art, project management and documentation¶
This week I worked on defining my final project idea and started to getting used to the documentation process.
DOCUMENTATION¶
This first week is the moment to start using the documentation tool that will report on my activity during all the weeks and at the time of the final project.
Each week, I will work with 2 interfaces on GitLab:
-
[ IDE.GitLab] (https://gitlab.fabcloud.org/academany/fabricademy/2021/students/dominique.vial/-/tree/master/docs) which will allow me to enter and upload my different contents.
-
[Dominique VIAL] (https://class.textile-academy.org/2021/dominique.vial/) will allow me to visualize how it is visible.
IDEAS FOR MY PROJECT¶
The time of the project could be an opportunity to lay the foundations of a real personal work to longer term, such as the launch of a new label. And for me it has to be based on material innovation or manufacturing process associated with technology: it must be innovative, so differentiating.
For now, I see three possible ways:
VINTECH¶
Mix VINTage clothing and new TECHnology by giving a second life to clothes found on the vintage or recycled market and by modifying their appearance (material or details) by the contribution of a technique (or a combination of techniques) such as silicon printing or 3D print, bio couture adds, dyeing effects, laser cuts….etc

NEWFABRIC¶
Through an even experimental approach, find a way to produce your own raw material and create different types of products, from clothes to decorative objects. Being able to create transversally: being able, for example, to make a jacket as a lampshade or a decorative object.

KNITTECH¶
I am particularly interested in the innovations of knitted products such as with all firstlayer developed for running or fitness, these new knitting machines that allow seamless and the relief effects.
My idea would be to launch a new type of product with all these characteristics but on pullover weights.
