Abstract

This research discusses smart kinetic costumes in the field of applied art, costume design, fashion, and performing arts. Explaining their patterns of movement and highlighting their aesthetics and expressive possibilities that go beyond the characteristics of traditional fabrics and textiles. This is by studying their designs, understanding the operating methods of their motion technologies, and their responsive properties of external stimuli. With the aim of showing innovative methods for moving the material and costume independently from the performer's body and clarifying the drivers of movement activation to understand its suitability for use in the performing arts. The research shows some of the challenges facing the designer in this regard. It also shows important contemporary materials that are already manufactured and characterized by independent shape changing or shape memory movement methods, and used in previous clothes and fashions. Findings in the research include: Multiple designs' inspirations from nature, whether from biological organisms or natural manifestations; the emergence of new plastic properties in hybrid materials; the occurrence of industrial challenges to clean, maintain, and preserve kinetic smart fashions and materials; the importance of equipping production laboratories and workshops of performing arts with contemporary technical resources and components; and the need of global and local markets for smart kinetic fabrics and materials as final products ready for purchase and use.
