This work focuses on the effect Felting is a unique property of many animal fibers. It is an ancient and historic way of transforming fleece into felt hats, caps, vests, skirts, boots, scarves and many other manufacturing felted products. In this research, felting propensity of Egyptian and New Zealand wool fibers has been examined. The Aachen felting test method was employed. The diameter of each ball and the density were calculated to recognize the felting degree. The effect of scouring, bleaching as well as four different variables of pre-treatment water baths - pH, temperature, liquor ratio and agitation- on the felting propensity of these pre-treatment fibers were investigated. Also, the effect of four felting medium - acidic, alkaline, salty and soapy mediums - on the degree of felting process was studied. The results show that the pretreatment wool fibers in different water baths have higher felting propensity than untreated one (control sample) especially with scoured wool. There is a higher tendency of felting for bleached followed with scoured fibers than raw fibers. In the most cases of pre treatment water baths; acidic medium has a remarkable influence on the propensity of fibers felting specially in case of using temperature and agitation. The acidic felting medium solution has a great influence effect on the values of felting fibers especially with raw wool fibers than scoured fibers in both Egyptian and New Zealand wool; and soapy felting medium has the lowest tendency on wool felting than acidic and alkaline mediums compering with buffer pH=7. The present study would help increasing the utility of the local wool in the industry to revive felt making industry and to increase the competitiveness of the Egyptian product and achieve greater Egyptian industry's ability to integrate into the global economy, creating new jobs and increase national income as a result of increasing the volume of industrial exports and reduce dependence on imports. Also this study can be applied on some agricultural wastes (non-wood plants) as potential resources and alternative fibers in textile and paper industries.\"

Red Sea is one of the most fascinating areas in the world. Egypt's Red Sea has abundant tourism infrastructure, which attracts tourists from around the world. A rare coral reef and kinds of multi-colored elements underwater is a testament to the work of Mother Nature that could not be replicated by mankind. The main aim of this work is to innovate new modern designs for fabric printing of touristic products, by selecting the artistic elements of the marine nature and cultural life in the Red Sea, then creating textile designs inspired from them. The researcher used the analytical descriptive method in explaining cultural and natural features of the Red Sea to identify their characteristics and come up with innovative designs using computer programs, analyze the design and evaluate the degree of agreement on each design.

The change in consumer behavior toward purchasing clothes has led to the emergence of a production method called fast fashion. This depends on copying the latest fashion trends at the lowest cost, and in large numbers. The ultimate goal is to ensure consumer satisfaction while minimizing returns. This study aimed to predict fashion that meets the requirements of the Egyptian market in three steps. Firstly, analyze some global fashion trends for the years 2024-2025. Secondly, identify the extent to which the consumer follows fashion trends and the factors affecting his purchasing behavior through a questionnaire, as well as field visits to some Egyptian factories and production decision-makers. Thirdly, redesign a group of international fashion clothing and conduct a survey of specialists in order to create a strategic plan to learn how to predict and redesign some international fashion trends and acquire new ideas to meet the needs of the Egyptian consumer.
