The random method is also widely used, especially in stages
of ‘deep inspiration’ of the creator. This specific technique
involves adding or removing of warp and weft overlaps within
a limited pattern, which dimensions (warp and weft repeat) are
already set. The humans can be replaced by automatic generators
of binary codes or systems working with matrices (Chen,
Knox, McKenna, & Mather, 1996). The disturbance of warp
and weft overlapping in already known patterns is also a way
to create a new pattern from an existing one.
In their work Gagnon, Leduc, and Savard (2012), mention
that the design process in engineering requires modification, so
as engineers and designers to efficiently tackle with the demands
of the markets and the society. Clothing fashion and textiles
are constantly pressured by the market and consumers to offer
more diverse products. The designers of fabrics are particularly affected, as they have to meet the requirements of both haute couture
and average consumers, who tend to spend less money for
clothing and textiles, but require higher quality and originality
in terms of fashion trends.
