Analysis of Computer-Based Remote Haute Couture Clothing Design System

Abstract

The integration of technology into the fashion industry has revolutionized traditional design processes, offering new avenues for creativity, efficiency, and accessibility. This qualitative study explores the implications of computer-based remote haute couture clothing design systems, as perceived by participants from diverse backgrounds within the fashion industry. Through semi-structured interviews with fashion designers, technology developers, industry experts, and consumers of haute couture garments, insights were gathered into the perceived benefits, challenges, and ethical considerations associated with remote design systems. Thematic analysis of the interview data revealed several key themes, including efficiency and innovation, accessibility and global reach, challenges and ethical considerations. Participants highlighted the potential of remote design systems to enhance efficiency, foster innovation, and expand the reach of haute couture to clients worldwide. However, concerns were raised about the loss of tactile experience, technological glitches, and ethical implications, such as the displacement of traditional artisans and the commodification of design expertise. The findings underscore the complex interplay between technology, tradition, and ethics in haute couture, highlighting the need for a balanced approach that embraces innovation while upholding the values of craftsmanship, authenticity, and cultural heritage. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the transformative potential of technology in haute couture and provides insights for designers, technologists, and industry stakeholders navigating the digital fashion landscape This qualitative study explores the implications of computer-based remote haute couture clothing design systems from the perspectives of diverse stakeholders in the fashion industry. Through semi-structured interviews with fashion designers, technology developers, industry experts, and consumers of haute couture garments, the study uncovers rich insights into the benefits, challenges, and ethical considerations surrounding the adoption of remote design systems in haute couture. Key themes identified include the potential of remote systems to enhance efficiency and foster innovation in design processes, as well as their role in expanding accessibility and global reach within the industry. However, participants also expressed concerns about the loss of tactile experience, the risk of technological glitches, and the ethical implications of digital fashion practices.
