This article provides the short and non-linear history of digital fashion, arguing that it is entangled with the development of digital environments and virtual worlds. Unlike material clothes, digital fashion end products are created digitally, for digital use. Digital fashion can range from digital skins for gamified environments or virtual influencers to superimposed images, Augmented Reality filters, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and digital twins or phygital fashion. We trace the emergence and development of digital fashion through pivotal themes: from its relation to virtual worlds, the Internet, and e-commerce, to the implementation of avatars and fashion in videogames, to the commercially led digital fashion industry that has emerged in the past few years in what is called Web 3.0, and finally, we look at the recent surge of interest in artificial intelligence and its potential complications for digital fashion.
本文介绍了数字时尚简短而非线性的历史，认为数字时尚与数字环境和虚拟世界的发展息息相关。与物质服装不同，数字时尚的终端产品是以数字方式创建的，供数字使用。数字时尚的范围从游戏化环境或虚拟影响者的数字皮肤，到叠加图像、增强现实滤镜、不可篡改代币（NFT），以及数字双胞胎或phygital 时尚。我们将通过以下关键主题追溯数字时尚的出现和发展：从数字时尚与虚拟世界、互联网和电子商务的关系，到电子游戏中化身和时尚的实现，再到过去几年在所谓的 Web 3.0 中出现的以商业为主导的数字时尚产业，最后，我们将审视近期人工智能兴趣的激增及其对数字时尚的潜在影响。

Three-dimensional (3D) simulation technologies have experienced a significant rise in popularity in the fashion industry. Analyzing the efficacy of such technologies aids in pinpointing areas that require enhancement. While previous studies mostly focused on evaluating the fit and appearance of 3D simulation technologies with simple clothing styles, this research aims to assess the effectiveness of 3D fashion simulation software in producing digital designs that include creative pattern-cutting techniques known for their intricate structures and design complexities. Four designs were chosen to exemplify different design characteristics, and 95 people were recruited to assess the effectiveness of two cuttingedge 3D fashion simulation programs. Furthermore, the researchers utilized the apparel spatial visualization tests (ASVT) to examine whether the participants’ spatial visualizing aptitude would impact their assessment outcomes. The findings offer suggestions for enhancing the existing 3D simulation technology and provide instructions for the assessment procedure.

This study aimed to examine an innovative approach for recycling and repurposing used disposable face masks to create a new 3D printing filament and to compare the mechanical properties of the developed 3D printing filament (DF) with recycled filament (RF) and commercial filament (CF). The development of the new 3D printing filaments involved examining three key pieces of information: (1) optimal melting point ranges, (2) weight, and (3) visual colors for each layer of the face mask. Using an experimental research design, the researchers melted-down disposable face masks to create the filament and analyzed its properties in comparison with RF and CF. No significant differences were identified in terms of strength among CF, RF, and DF types. The findings highlight the potential effectiveness of using disposable face masks as an alternative 3D printing material, contributing to the design and production in the 3D printing industry.

Museums are currently undertaking the task of digital transformation. Transformational technology generates revitalization of the curatorship, cultural heritage presentation, management model, and traditional roles of museums. The creation of three-dimensional (3D) virtual museum exhibitions is important to fulfill the revolutionary operational requirements and projections of recent museums through digital transformation. The objectives of this project were to (1) create realistic 3D virtual museum exhibitions accessible from the web, focusing on historic fashions, and (2) provide an analysis of the process and resources for creating 3D virtual museum exhibitions featuring object-focused exhibits. As a theoretical background of this project, the theory of technology affordances and the affordance actualization process were applied in the creation of 3D virtual museum exhibitions. The results of this project provide cultural heritage museums and institutions with useful precedents for the development of 3D virtual historic fashion museum exhibitions.

This study addresses the problem of end-of-roll leftover fabrics originating after the production of baby/child apparel. The ineffective management of these leftovers results in excess inventory, occupies storage space, and imposes economic and environmental loads. To address this challenge, a novel mathematical modeling approach is proposed. The model maximizes the upcycling of leftovers by incorporating these into the manufacturing of garments while adhering to marketing, production, and ordering constraints. This model also introduces the feasibility of ordering new fabrics with a penalty, as defined by the decision makers, to increase utilization. The model was tested using actual end-of-roll leftover data. The upcycling utilization of leftovers was calculated to be between 57% and 87%. Notably, at an upcycling rate of 58%, 96% of the utilized fabrics were sourced from leftovers. The case study results validate the model efficacy and provide insights into leftover-fabric management.

Obtaining accurate body measurements is a critical step when designing products to fit the human body. Compared to traditional manual methods, 3D body scanning has fundamentally enhanced the accessibility of the body, however, the datasets extracted from 3D body scans often have missing values. Recently, the applications of data-driven machine learning (ML) methods in anthropometrics studies and clothing-related work have been increasing. However, there has been limited research on exploring if missing data and difficult-to-extract measurements from 3D scans could be predicted accurately and efficiently by using ML methods. Therefore, this exploratory study investigates the potential use of four mainstream ML methods in improving the usefulness of a 3D body scan dataset.
在设计适合人体的产品时，获得精确的身体测量数据是至关重要的一步。与传统的手工方法相比，三维人体扫描从根本上提高了人体的可获取性，然而，从三维人体扫描中提取的数据集往往存在缺失值。最近，数据驱动的机器学习（ML）方法在人体测量学研究和服装相关工作中的应用越来越多。然而，对于使用 ML 方法能否准确、高效地预测三维扫描中的缺失数据和难以提取的测量值，这方面的研究还很有限。因此，本探索性研究调查了四种主流 ML 方法在提高三维人体扫描数据集实用性方面的潜在用途。

This study examined the use of psychomimicry in the apparel design process by exploring a series of three garments entitled, Color Hearing. The designer delineates the iterative design process, explains the design challenges, and expands on what is known by implementing a new technique of coding music to create textile print designs. The designer used a four-stage design process for each of the three garments included in this study. The important contributions of this study include the novel approach of using psychomimicry as a design influence and the establishment of a coding process to generate textile print designs based on the neurological phenomena of synesthesia.

This manuscript analyzes outfit of the day (OOTD) content on TikTok to consider how the style-fashion-dress and social media practices in the digital sociality known as “RushTok” (re)produce gender, race, and class norms in Panhellenic sororities. I used feminist virtual ethnography to explore 97 OOTD videos produced during the 2022 Panhellenic sorority recruitment cycle. I followed the concept of the sorority girl around this data to map her emergence and effects in the RushTok sociality. I find that RushTok OOTDs remediate practices from traditional fashion media, and that the style-fashion-dress practices in this sociality emphasize luxury branding, highly feminine but conservative styles, and bodily discipline. These are (re)shaped by spatial and algorithmic logics, which privilege enactments of the sorority girl that (re)produce the White, wealthy, cisfeminine ideal. The logics of Panhellenic sororities intra-act with the TikTok algorithm to make this idealized sorority girl more visible, further (re)producing hierarchies of difference.

In this article, we explore the world of natural dye use in the United States through the circuit of style-fashion-dress. To examine this phenomenon, we incorporated interviews, surveys, participant observation, fieldwork, and film production into our data collection. We found that fashion labels must deal with color inconsistencies from natural dyes due to variable growing conditions for plants, water quality, and manufacturing setups. This has led to scientific and agricultural innovations by companies to mitigate variabilities in processed natural dyestuff. We also found that production dyers have established ways to educate their clients about the realities of using natural colorants. Lastly, our participants communicated a belief that natural dyes are an environmentally sustainable alternative to synthetics; however, the major challenge is that natural dyes currently do not meet the demands of the fashion industry.
