Abstract

Embroidery, an age-old art form, is being reinvigorated through the fusion of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary innovation. This paper delves into the amalgamation of biomimicry, a design concept drawing on nature's paradigms, into embroidery to enhance both aesthetics and utility. A thorough investigation encompasses a literature review and diverse case studies to scrutinize the integration process. The analysis reveals the transformative power of biomimetic practices to generate pioneering embroidery patterns and skillsets, suggesting substantial impact across fashion, textiles, and eco-friendly design sectors. The study provides pivotal data underscoring the role of biomimicry in propelling embroidery into a new epoch while honoring its historic essence.
