"Functional Clothing Design" is a book about how and why clothing
works. This interdisciplinary text introduces new ways to look at
the human body, the environment and clothing and to explore the
relationships between them by looking at the ways clothing achieves
goals such as protecting the body, increasing health and safety,
improving a worker's efficiency on the job or increasing body
function. Watkins and Dunne present technical material using clear,
simple language that can be readily understood by beginning design
students with no science or engineering background. Building on the
groundbreaking text by Watkins, "Clothing: The Portable
Environment," this text covers a full range of factors involved in
designing functional clothing: protection from thermal, impact and
other environmental hazards; enhancing movement and visibility and
increasing body function with smart clothing; designing clothing
for people with handicaps and designing protective clothing for
groups such as the military, who face multiple hazards. "Functional
Clothing Design" focuses on the full range of activities needed to
develop functional clothing--from analysis of user needs to
choosing appropriate materials to design and design evaluation. The
text includes case studies throughout as well as new content on
smart textiles and all the latest developments in wearable
technology. Designers and others seeking clothing solutions to
problems in many fields will find a common language linking a
number of disciplines through which they can explore both problems
and solutions.
