Processos criativos de moda e sua relação com a sustentabilidade: um estudo sobre Lindebergue Fernandes

Abstract

The present work discusses the creative processes in fashion and its relation with the sustainability and the textile reutilization in the work of Lindebergue Fernandes. The designer is nationally known for his fashion creations full of symbolism and regional traits. He also performs artistic-design functions in his creative work, presenting a specific creative process directed to the re-use and re-signification of textile and non-textile materials with Adelita Monteiro, his assistant and friend. The objective of this research was to understand the creative process of Lindebergue Fernandes and the reuse of materials within his creative fashion process, as well as the applicability of this in his artistic context. To this end, theoretical bases on creation, sustainability and fashion were used in order to analyze one of its collections, presented in 2016 at the fashion event Dragon Fashion Brazil. As methodological steps, digital and physical data (official photos and videos of the event, records of the initial sketches and photos of some pieces of clothing) were collected before and during the interview with the designer and his assistant. From this, compositions presented on the catwalk and their respective initial sketches were compared and analyzed, so that the non-linear path of their creation was reconstituted through these images and the designer's speech. As results, it was verified that the reuse and re-signification of materials in the collection were inherent steps for the designer and the creative team to reduce the financial investments and the ecological impacts of the collection.
