Examining the Artistry in Biological Fabric Recycling for Innovative Apparel Design

Abstract

The creation and development of bio-fabric recycling have opened up new ideas for the artistic expression of clothing design. This paper first distinguishes biological materials and biological fabrics, classifies and analyzes biological fabrics, and discusses biological fabrics' characteristics and the development of biological fabrics. Secondly, it defines fabric recycling, and fabric recycling is applied to garment design to enhance the expressive power of garments further. The relationship between bio-fabric recycling and garment design is explored. Finally, the artistic expression of bio-fabric recycling in apparel design is analyzed by taking mycelium material as an example, and the application and analysis of apparel design, footwear design and luggage design are carried out. The results showed that MycoTEX, cultivated by the solid bag fermentation method, was accepted and liked by 10.21% of consumers. Mylea, cultivated by the solid-in-bag fermentation method, was 38.72% accepted by consumers. Mylo, cultured by solid bag fermentation method, was 23.54% preferred by consumers as a vegetarian alternative to animal leather. It is feasible and important to explore and analyze the artistic expression of clothing design based on bio-fabric recycled materials.
