Abstract
This paper considers clothes as one of methods for self-expression and aims at the construction of a clothes design support system. Interaction between a user and the proposed system is performed in order to design clothes reflecting user's Kansei using Interactive Genetic Algorithms, one of interactive evolutionary computations. The system presents several designed clothes candidates to a user and a user evaluates them. According to the user's evaluations, the system gives genetic operations such as selection, crossover and mutations to clothes candidates. Repeating the procedures, presentations, evaluations and GA operations, satisfying clothes designs are obtained. This paper also applies concepts of a migration model for island GA and re-search of candidates to the clothes design support system for the support of creation. The paper also confirms that users can design clothes with high satisfaction reflecting their Kansei for clothes using the presented system through subjects experiments.
