Özet:

In the last quarter of the 20th century, the concept of slow fashion was born as a reaction to the production/consumption strategies of the fashion industry, which aimed at mass consumption. Timeless textiles with quality materials that are produced by handcraft, far from the direction of fashion trends, are the working area of slow fashion. In this context, carpets were chosen as the case subject of the study in order to bring new design proposals on slow fashion. It is aimed to transform the hand woven carpet, which has a special place for the Turks, into clothing fabric texture by adhering to the traditional production technique and characteristics, and to contribute to the field of slow fashion by developing a human-based, labor-oriented and environmentalist approach in clothing design. With the trans-formation of this labor-intensive traditional textile form into clothing designs, timeless clothes that support sustainability within the scope of slow fashion, question the speed of consumption, respect human and nature, and independent of the fashion concept, have been presented as a proposal. This study has been adapted from the master's thesis titled Fabric Design/ Production with Carpet Weaving Technique and Dressing Proposals. First of all, a detailed literature review has been made on Seljuk carpets, starting with the history of the carpet. Then, a theme was determined and contemporary designs were made in computer environment, inspired by Seljuk carpets. Preliminary studies have been carried out in small sizes with different yarn counts, warp thickness and densities in order to determine the apparel fabric application parameters. In order to ensure that the entire production process is sustainable and compatible with traditional methods, the color palette to be used in weaving has been created with natural dyeing recipes.
