Abstract

The world at large is going through existential repositioning, from crude to technology, from manual to automation; this is the norm in all facet of human endeavor in which Adire fabric is a part. As Yoruba traditional dyed textiles, it has become imperative to chat a new course into concept of motif generation of the aged-long craft. To this end, this study aimed to achieve this feat through studio exploration and qualitative method. The population consists of ten (10) Adire designers, while ten (10) samples were purposefully selected with 24 samples of motifs for adaptation. The study employs questionnaire and participant observation to obtain data and analyse through simple percentage formula by numerically converting data for statistical rating. The studio exploration involves stages of activity; Adire motifs reconstruction, copying concept and adaptation resulting to eighteen (18) new motifs of polychromatic colour rendition. The finding reveals that, the new set of motifs are not characteristic of usual blue-indigo hue which can best be described as innovative adaptation as a better descriptor of practices that transform fashion trend in the 21st century for sustainability.
