Increasing uptake of digital manufacturing into industry, combined with improved build speed, finish and size has allowed for greater flexibility in production of low volume, customised and bespoke products. The paper also describes the innovation potential for these technologies to cross domains, and suggests that their creative exploration by designers may be the key to developing new market opportunities.

A estos efectos, la ponencia discurre con el apoyo teórico de dos textos clásicos de la filosofía “El Pintor de la Vida Moderna” de Charles Baudelaire y “La estructura de las Revoluciones Científicas” de Thomas Kuhn.



The purpose of this paper is philosophical reflection on the mechanisms of change in the structure of fashion, and what is the impact of the contextual dimension in the categories of the Beauty and the Ugly. Because of this, the paper runs with the theoretical support of two classic texts of philosophy “The Painter of Modern Life” by Charles Baudelaire and “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” by Thomas Kuhn.

Cool Example: Get back to the good old times to stay ahead (advertising)

by Nelson Pinheiro

http://www.tudorwatch.com/lt/en/magazine/heritage_advisor/

What it is:
It is an advertisement for the Tudor brand (Watches). In a time where being cool is absolutely essential, this brand bring back a smart look for high end audience. During the internet companies’ boom (.net), the executive style was relegated to a secondary position and a more relaxed look came into the office and the everyday life. No more suits and ties, the name of the game was relaxed and comfortable. The idea was to enlist creative professionals. However, the crisis of this sector originated a set back and the suit came back. Today, suits got modern, polished, slimmer, smarter and cooler! This add brings that nostalgia of the sharp mad men style, just like the slogan says: Get back to the Good old Times to stay ahead. Look smart and cool with an edge. Go classic, and you can´t go wrong anywhere!

Why is it Cool:
1. It brings back the classic smart executive style, attached with a sense of nostalgia ;
2. Because it brings and “old” model in order to achieve success in today’s life;
3. It connects the image and the idea to a wide range of successful new tv series like Mad Men and Suits;
4. Because it appeals to the smart young men who want to advance in business and in the private life, and all these individuals want to look sharp and attractive;
5. Because it represents a classic style that never goes out of fashion.

Coolexample: Hermes - High Fashion or Contemporary Artisan?

by Nelson Pinheiro

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akCxPijp4aI

What it is:
A presentation of French luxury with a modern twist. Nick Knight‘s Autumn/Winter 2011 campaign for Hermès reinterprets the artisan tradition and hand-craft for the twenty-first century. This fashion commercial presents a beautiful combination of movement and painting aesthetics. The movements combined with brush strokes accentuate the designs and the fall colors. The collection shows bold patterns and “ethnic” representations giving a new edge to this luxury brand.

Why is it Cool:
1. Because it explores identities and a connection to other cultures;
2. Because it is a new connection to art and the “ethnic”, trough the representation of patterns and portraits. The campaign video also experiments with the illusion of paintings and brush strokes, playing with the images and designs.
3. Because the idea of a “contemporary artisan” brings back the sense of quality and handmade product. It promotes a return to former crafts with a “modern twist”.

Dialogue across design domains: Rapid Prototyping in Aerospace and Fashion

Both designers saw the opportunities to improve the design process through RP, while identifying challenges in persuading people to change current practice. The immediacy of interaction with physical objects affords better design communication, and decisions can be revised before significant resources are committed.
Both designers were struck by the similarities in the challenges and potential across both domains.

It outlines the role of multidisciplinary research which explores the possibilities of generating truly 3-dimensional seamless garments constructed in one piece, using existing Rapid Manufacturing processes such as Laser Sintering to create 3D polymer fabric structures suitable for clothing.
This approach to creating clothing requires a new design and manufacturing paradigm.
