Between Tradition and Innovation

Aferdita Statovci, University for Business and Technology

Pristina, Kosovo

1:30 PM - 3:00 PM

This paper will examine the question of how to create a fashion collection with the energy of the modern yet still evoking the nostalgia of the past, all the while trying to pay tribute to the craftsmen and -women, incorporating traditional details and still making it suitable for the ever-changing trends and styles of the fast-paced fashion today.

One of the greatest Albanian folk legacies is the authenticity and originality of the costumes. They are more than just 'outfits' they are an art, an expression of Albanian identity and heritage to the rest of the world.

Fashion as a sincere expression of our external identity — regardless of climatic conditions/season, social status, position in society/profession — has been and remains an expression or reflection of a fundamental human need, the need to decorate and promote oneself. It is an aesthetic way of expressing, representing a lifestyle, and it is multifaceted.

This research is about the design, aesthetics as a sales promoter in Kosovo and the challenges faced every day during the production, sales or even the creation of products, goods and clothing. This research will give insight into design and aesthetics as a promoter of selling products in our country. When it comes to preferences, demand and decision to buy are affected by different factors. The customers surveyed were more willing to buy a product that is more functional rather than a product with better aesthetics. Estimates were the same regardless of age, gender, status (whether employed or not): customers have chosen based on the design. For a product in Kosovo, to have successful sales and to be differentiated, it must have the performance, comfort, safety and the ability to be repaired. As for the appearance, the interesting form, the perfect symmetry, the proportion of a product depending on the articles, the consumers of our country have shown less interest. These findings are important information for career professionals. The recommendations from this research are important for further success in the field of business, entrepreneurship, economy, fashion design, teaching etc.

“Pezull" is student initiated startup business which is based on creating products inspired by the ideas of transparency and illusion. The idea started with the need to solve a problem, inspired by the saying “design is the solution.” In Kosovo, there is a feeling that a lot of things are done secretly and this brings about a lack of transparency. But transparency brings courage, confidence, intimacy and comfort. This initial inspiration served a starting point for our first product, a bag. It was chosen as the most personal product to suit all personalities. The transparent bag, thus, symbolizes courage and fits in with every aspect of the concept for our business and artistic plan.

The Art of Science in Fashion and Textile Design

Cennet Lika, University for Business and Technology - UBT

Pristina, Kosovo

1:30 PM - 3:00 PM

There is an age-old question of whether design is art or science. Science and art are developing every day. When design is examined in this sense, it could be said that it is a bridge that brings together two different disciplines, both science and art. Science has a special role in fashion and textile design development. In addition to natural fibers, there is now a wide variety of synthetics on the shelves. Thus we have more fabric types than ever before. With the development of science and the resulting advances in technology, the designs which were previously designed but could not be implemented due to incompetent methods, now have started to be applied by using these new methods. In this way the number of non-applicable designs has gradually decreased. Today, the goal of textile designers is not only to design fabrics, but also through science enable designers create more daring and perfect designs. Technological processes used in textile design also play an important role in fashion design. Concepts such as technological textiles, nano-technology fabrics, smart textiles, renewable fabrics are being used in textile and fashion design, resulting in innovative and bold designs.
