Description

This study examines the process of digital transformation of the traditional motif of the Bulgarian oil-bearing rose (Rosa damascena) within the context of sustainable fashion design through the use of specialized embroidery software. The research explores the adaptation of natural forms into a digital environment by combining artistic stylization and technological implementation. A methodology is proposed, involving the creation of an initial ornament using cross-stitch techniques in Pattern Maker, followed by digitization and optimization of the embroidery design in Artistic Digitizer. The final design is executed through machine embroidery on textile products. The results demonstrate that the digital approach enables an effective integration of cultural heritage and modern technologies, while contributing to sustainable fashion practices through resource optimization and increased product durability.
