Abstract
The Silicon circuits are the flat boards made-up of semiconductor material silicon and
Germanium, used in electronics to conduct electronic signals. The tiny transistors and diodes are
attached on it with engraved line pattern for electricity. As the word is dominated by electronic
technology so silicon circuits are found in every gadget which comprise electronics such as cell
phones, smart watch, computers and remote controls.
The pattern on silicon circuits is unique and has an amazing green texture, some blue and purple
circuits are also available. This texture can be used in textile art as there is no limit in creativity.
Alexander McQueen, a well-known British textile designer has once used these patterns in
fashion surface design in 1998; He has used the lines on circuit boards in his apparel collection
and made some unique dresses out of it, although his work was limited to only single technique
which was screen printing, he simply extracted the lines pattern out of silicon boards and have
set repeats of it on fabric, more techniques were not experimented at that moment.
A wide range of unique motifs could be extracted which can be merged with one another to form
an interesting pattern which could be printed on fabric using some experimental techniques such
as foil printing, glow printing, flock printing, and some digital prints can also be made.
Furthermore 3D work would be added to enhance the true essence of modern day technology
with LED lights, in additional more embroidery, fabric manipulation and fabric cut work would
also be used on the final products. The final end product will be some westernize 3D dresses,
which would be adding the high end techno look to the final collection, which will be the future
of fashion creativity, as well as will symbolize the futurism, the dresses will be made for party
wear having some elegant cuts and styles which will be wear in special occasions, along with
dresses some innovative accessories will also be made to carry with dresses.
