Abstract
This work shows the results of a research project which goal was to make a geo-historical study on clothes used by four civilizations: Rome, Greece, Egypt and India. A bibliography search was done, online museum image databases and other sources were accessed in order to have a photographic record of statues and female tridimensional figures corresponding to the selected historical periods and parts of the world. The method included a partial reconstruction of the body, referencing the sculptural representation of female beauty in those ancient civilizations. After the reconstruction an indirect extraction of anthropometric measurements was made over 2D images, and those data were fed into a generative design software to model a tridimensional torso. The outcome is a ‘historical-customizable’ 3D model that can be applied to the production of clothing and historical costumes.
