APPLICATION OF THE THERME TECHNIQUE IN WOMEN'S ACCESSORIES, THE PROSPERITY COLLECTION

Abstract

This article examines the use of the traditional termé technique in women's accessory design, using the author's "Prosperity" collection as an example. The termé technique, historically linked to artistic textile traditions, particularly ornamental fabric motifs, is analyzed as an expressive means of shaping contemporary artistic imagery.
The aim of this study is to identify the decorative, compositional, and technological potential of adapting the termé technique to the design of women's accessories (scarves, bags, belts, jewelry), and to substantiate its relevance in the context of sustainable design and the revival of craft practices. The work explores the features of the ornamental structure and the symbolism of motifs of prosperity, growth, and abundance, and examines materials and methods for integrating traditional textile techniques into modern production.
The "Prosperity" collection showcases a synthesis of cultural heritage and current fashion trends, where the termé technique serves as a tool for artistic identity and a means of creating aesthetically expressive, functional accessories. The research results confirm the potential of traditional decorative techniques as a resource for innovative design in the fashion industry.
