Summary/Abstract: It’s possible to describe mosaic technique as the art of decorating a surface by small fragments of the materials such as gem, porcelain enamel, glass, wood and ceramic. Beginning from the ancient ages the mosaic technique, which has been used in the decorations, wall tiles and ceiling paneling of many temples, chapels and shelters, has reflected the culture, belief and the life style of the era it was used in. With a history that dates back to ancient ages, it has been one of the art sources of many civilisations and nations, it has passed on the characteristics of the era it was in to the next generations and become the inspiration for many contemporary designers and artists with its aesthetic look and texture. In this study, by supporting with the collection samples from worldwide known designers, it was tried to analyse the effects of the mosaic technique, which can be seen in many art and design products and requires a lot of effort, on today’s fashion, and the techniques used by the designers in order to achieve the mosaic effects. In order to achieve a better analyse, the history of the mosaic technique, production techniques and the materials were also mentioned briefly. Besides, authentic designs that were created by inspiring from the mosaic technique, which has a rich cultural heritage, were also included.
