Abstract
The present investigation refers to the Jacquard knitwear sector, in particular the invention refers to a method for obtaining a knitted fabric that reproduces an adversarial image. “Adversarial Knitted Fashion” combines engineering, textile, and fashion knowledge to create a product that makes customers aware of the importance of preserving their privacy and allows them to protect their identity in the presence of facial recognition cameras. An entirely adversarial fashion collection has never been designed and created, which is why it was felt the need to create this project thinking of a target persona who cares about problems related to modern world society and human rights and who wants to show himself as an example and leader in order to create awareness and sensibility for an extremely current phenomenon. Phenomenon related to an increasingly frequent problem in everyday life and which involves citizens from all over the world. The idea was born in New York in 2019 from a discussion on privacy and human rights. The first experiments with computerized knitting machines were carried out at the Politecnico di Milano in January 2020. The project was developed in the textile workshops of the Shenkar College of Tel Aviv, where the creator of the garments was on a University exchange. On February 8, 2021, the patent of the industrial process for the production of the adversarial knitted textile was filed.
