EKSPLORASI LIMBAH BENANG BUSANA WANITA JAPANESE STREETWEAR TEKNIK CONFETTI QUILTING PADA BRAND THE NEW FACTORY STUDIO ( TNFS )

TNFS is a sustainable fashion brand that utilizes textile waste as part of its product
identity. However, yarn waste generated during the production process has not
been optimally utilized, limiting its potential to add value to product development.
This study aims to explore yarn waste as a textile material in the design of women's
Japanese streetwear and to produce design alternatives for the development of
TNFS products. The research employed the Hasso Plattner Design Thinking model,
consisting of the empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test stages. Data were
collected through observation, literature review, benchmarking, interviews, and
questionnaires. The exploration process involved experiments in arranging yarn
waste, the use of base fabric and interfacing, and the application of Richpeace
software for the nesting process to improve material efficiency. The study resulted
in 30 alternative designs, from which five final designs were selected. The findings
indicate that the exploration of yarn waste can produce textile materials with
distinctive visual characteristics, support the principles of sustainability, and
strengthen the application of the Japanese streetwear concept in women's apparel
for TNFS.

TNFS merupakan brand sustainable fashion yang memanfaatkan limbah tekstil
sebagai bagian dari identitas produknya. Namun, limbah benang hasil proses
produksi belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal sehingga belum memberikan nilai
tambah dalam pengembangan produk. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi
limbah benang sebagai material tekstil pada perancangan busana wanita
bergaya Japanese
streetwear serta
menghasilkan
rancangan
sebagai
pengembangan produk TNFS. Metode yang digunakan adalah Design
Thinking model Hasso Plattner dengan tahapan empathize, define, ideate,
prototype, dan test. Data diperoleh melalui observasi, studi literatur, benchmarking,
wawancara, dan kuesioner. Proses eksplorasi dilakukan melalui eksperimen
penyusunan limbah benang, penggunaan kain dasar dan interfacing, serta
pemanfaatan aplikasi Richpeace untuk proses nesting guna meningkatkan efisiensi
penggunaan bahan. Hasil penelitian menghasilkan 30 alternatif desain dan lima
desain terpilih yang menunjukkan bahwa eksplorasi limbah benang mampu
menghasilkan material dengan karakter visual yang unik, mendukung prinsip
keberlanjutan, serta memperkuat penerapan konsep Japanese streetwear pada
busana wanita untuk TNFS.
