Inês Camaño Garcia, Ana Margarida Ferreira, Banu Hatice Gürcüm
Among the various areas of design, fashion design can evoke emotions by wear-ing clothes. Clothing can bring emotions to life through a user's experience with the product. Although intimate fashion has evolved considerably in recent decades, children's intimate fashion has followed a different path, and more research needs to be done in this field. As an ongoing PhD work, this paper highlights the need for a new line of research in children's intimate fashion. This perception enhances the importance of a study on the experience with intimate clothing in childhood, namely how fashion design can incorporate emotional value from the point of view of user experience. To address the issue, a quali-quanti research methodology is proposed through a case study to analyze the problems of child incontinence and to under-stand the levels of interference that pathology has in the perception of the emotion-al value of intimate clothing by its user. This analysis will allow for the developing of a new innovative and sustainable intimate fashion product that promotes better intimate hygiene in childhood.
