Abstract:

In order to design and develop a new raincoat for children of the age group 7-8 years, in this paper we propose a conceptual model for FEA (functional, expressive, and aesthetic considerations) perception analysis of the desired raincoat. The model proposed has three levels: Goal Level (development of a new raincoat for children of the age group 7-8 years), Requirement Level (FEA considerations) and Design Solution Level (garment design solutions corresponding to the requirements of the Requirement Level). Due to the characteristics and relations of the different levels, we propose a fuzzy AHP (analytic hierarchy process) approach to solve this problem. Through the fuzzy AHP model proposed, requirements and related design solutions can be analysed with their relative weights. 20 designers and 20 evaluators (child care-givers) were involved in the experiments. Related design solutions and evaluation of their overall performance were defined though subjective evaluation experiments with standard procedures. This paper serves as a guide for the analysis of children’s raincoat design. Relative weight values of different design solutions provide suggestions for designers in the future design and development process.
