THE USE OF TRADITIONAL HANDICRAFTS IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SUPPORTED TEXTILE AND FASHION DESIGN PROCESSES: A STUDY ON BASKET WEAVING EXAMPLE

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to reveal how basket weaving technique, one of the traditional textile arts, can be interpreted in fashion design through artificial intelligence supported design processes. In the study conducted using the Design Based Research (DBR) method, basket weaving techniques, one of the examples of traditional textile arts integrated with nature, containing cultural codes and based on the artisanal knowledge of the past, were reinterpreted in formal and volumetric forms through artificial intelligence and transformed into garment forms. The designs preserve the aesthetic values of tradition while integrating contemporary fashion concepts and sustainability principles. Artificial intelligence has been used as a tool in this process to multiply form, structure and surface alternatives, support creativity and offer new possibilities to the designer. The garment designs developed within the scope of the study have been conceived in tactile and timeless forms that are futuristic yet remain faithful to traditional codes. In these designs, basket-weaving techniques have been redefined as an aesthetic element that is both formally elegant and expressively powerful, with a focus on the female form; the use of natural and sustainable materials aims to forge a connection between fashion and nature. The research findings highlight how traditional techniques can be combined with digital design processes to produce innovative and artistic outputs, and draw attention to the role of interdisciplinary approaches in fashion design. They also offer a different perspective on the usability of artificial intelligence alongside traditional techniques and the designer's ability to explore new creative areas without excluding handcrafted production. In order to contribute to cultural sustainability studies in the field, the research exemplifies how cultural continuity can be supported by new generation technologies by utilising the creative potential offered by digital technologies in transferring traditional textile art techniques to contemporary fashion design.
