Diseño de una línea de indumentaria infantil con la incorporación de ilustraciones sobre las emociones, desarrolladas por niños de 6 a 10 años, para la empresa Confecciones Jaassmany

Abstract

This research proposes the design of a children's clothing line based on illustrations created by children between the ages of 6 and 10, with the aim of visualizing their emotions through graphic language applied to clothing. The initiative arises in response to the lack of textile proposals that consider the emotional component in children's fashion design, while offering a creative alternative for children to actively participate in the symbolic construction of their identity. Based on the analysis of previous studies, it is established that free drawing, graphic symbols, and visual elements used by children carry deep meanings related to their emotional world. These findings have allowed the construction of a conceptual framework that supports the integration of these representations into fashion design, showing how emotions can be visually translated into garments that are functional, expressive, and coherent with the user. The proposed methodology is based on participatory approaches that consider the child as an active subject in the creative process. Through dynamics focused on the graphic representation of emotions, illustrations are collected and incorporated into clothing designs using appropriate textile techniques. In this way, the symbolic nature of clothing as a vehicle for emotional expression is reinforced, promoting a design with identity.
