Benefits of Compact Ring Spun Yarn in Other Spun Yarns

BACKGROUND In 1991, textile researchers at Universities in Eastern Europe introduced a change in the traditional manufacture of ring-spun yarn. Condensation of the roving web prior to entering the spinning triangle produced a less hairy and more compact yarn structure. Surface fibers from the condensed roving provided reduced protruding surface hair and a smaller diameter […]

Why is Sustainable Fashion not yet Inclusive?

The aim of writing this article is to talk about the ongoing trend of sustainable clothing. Despite sustainability being in a positive image for so many reasons, there are still major factors that are responsible for why we can say that sustainable fashion has a long way to be called “Inclusive”.

FASHBOARD – A SALES ANALYSIS TOOL

In the company, the whole sales analysis process was done manually using the erase-rewrite method in their style sheets to update the sales data after evaluating the heavy-looking excel data and then used to determine the best and poor seller products within a span of time.

The Manthan Dashboard only provided them with the overall sales of the multiple store outlets and the total sales of the Ladies Ethnic Wear. Hence, Analysing the Sales performance within the brand was difficult at the category and article level.

So, we transformed this traditional process by developing an Interactive Excel Dashboard using VBA coding and excel formulas which is dynamic in nature and depicts the best and poor seller product information with a single click. With the help of the dynamic dashboard, we have developed the range for SS’22 (HIT 2). The main findings were that we can easily analyze the sales performance of the previous year and plan for the next year. The result of this project was very fruitful and due to the dynamic nature of the dashboard, it can be implemented into any company by manipulating the source data.

Indian Traditional Textiles: Surface Design with Applique of Odisha

Design is about progress. It is the conceptualization and creation of new things: the outcome may be a product, service, process, or combination also. The textile design comprises both surface design and structural design. Structural designs are intrinsic parts of materials. They are created through the manipulation of fabrications, color, or texture. Structural design created through fabrication depends on the use of color and texture in the yarns forming loops or interlacing patterns in the fabric whereas the surface design is created by embroidery, appliqué, printing, quilting, or other forms of fabric decoration. In this article, the focus is applied to surface design.
