Переосмислення естетичних та ергономічних аспектів у створенні інклюзивного одягу

The aim of the article is to systematise and generalise modern approaches to inclusive clothing design that extend beyond the traditional viewing of aesthetics and ergonomics. Results. The analysis confirms the effectiveness of integrating ergonomic principles while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Innovative materials, technologies and design approaches are analysed. They allow to integrate aesthetics and ergonomics, creating functional and attractive solutions for modern life. This research makes it possible to systematise and generalise modern strategies in designing inclusive clothing that go beyond the usual combination of aesthetics and ergonomics. Principles of inclusive design that promote the development of clothing accessible to a wide range of consumers without compromising style are identified. Scientific novelty. For the first time, it is systematically grounded that modern inclusive clothing should be not only functional but also a complete aesthetic and ergonomic product. This represents leaving established practices where aesthetics often yielded to functionality. The offered ach ensures a harmonious balance of these aspects. Additionally, innovative design strategies that utilise advanced materials, technologies and design approaches in creating clothing for people with disabilities are generalised and classified. The principles of inclusive design are substantiated and formulated, promoting the development of universally accessible and appealing clothing for a wide range of consumers, including people with disabilities, without style or functionality compromising. Conclusions. The study reveals that innovative materials, technologies and design approaches are fundamental to the development of inclusive clothing. The use of smart fabrics, 3D printing, seamless techniques, as well as principles of modularity and transformation, allows to create clothing that adapts to the unique users’ needs. A high degree of personalisation is not merely desired but a necessary element, ensuring maximum comfort and functionality. The practical significance of this study grounds on the development of specific tools and recommendations that enable the creation of inclusive clothing that is simultaneously functional, aesthetic and competitive.
