Abstract

Science and technology are allies to guarantee comfort and quality of life, and the clothing industry should be understood in the same way. In this context it is necessary to consider that the fashion market should always propose one alternative that goes beyond conventional protection and aesthetics. One class of functional products, with a focus on health and well-being, became the target of research and production by companies with intent on its commercialization. In this study, with the objective of benefiting the elderly, a clothing line is proposed with a functional textiles approach. The Stiper cosmetotextile has a special function that provides treatment for stimulation of articulation. In completing this study, bibliographic research was adopted with a theoretical basis, coinciding with exploratory research by means of a diagnosis survey. The execution and further development suggest subsequent studies, as well as the application in solution by Foulard-process of the Stiper material inside connective textile fiber used for such purposes.
