Resumen

This paper inquires about the subject of textile manufacturing. It proposes considering the possibility of innovation and sustainability in Fashion through Textile Biomaterial Design instead of the excessive use of synthetic fibers, such as polyester. This paper addresses experimental practices in Strategic Design for achieving such purposes. It portrays the production of materials based on gelatin, sodium alginate, and corn starch bases. Twelve experiments were performed based on bibliographic and documental research. Several variables in terms of production, shaping modes and drying times are discussed in relation to the behavior of the biomaterials subjected to various tests and final analyses, such as machine sewing, water absorption, appearance, tactile characteristics and malleability during the process (and established in the results obtained). These variables were not pre-defined but perceived and learned through experimentation. It was possible to observe that each sample presented strong and weak features from the analyses and applied tests. The sodium alginate sample, for instance, proved to be water-resistant. However, it ruptured when sewing and removing the yarns. This study explores creativity and fosters new sustainable conceptions in Fashion as it is one of the most polluting industries in the world.
