Article Preview

Abstract:

Transformation of textile industry is a very urgent mission for China. Our present problems include decreasing of profit from export, increasing of cost (labour and energy), competition from other developing countries, and lack of innovative products, etc. In order to increase the profit and find new future, some studies have been tried to explore some innovative methods to shift traditional textile produce patterns. This paper discusses some design examples from a perspective of developing branded finished products for consumer markets to instead of providing fabric materials. A detailed case study on the full-fashioned woven good is demonstrated here to explain some chances, advantages, disadvantages, and threatens. It is believed that the transformation of textile industry in China has to be tied with our own innovation of advanced technology and creative design concepts, which can provide some solution to the coming problems of environment, energy, and labour, etc.
