In the clothing industry, design, development, and procurement teams have been affected more than any other industry and are constantly under pressure to present more products with fewer resources in a shorter time. The diversity of garment designs created as new products is not found in any other industry and is almost independent of the size of the business. Science4Fashion is a semi-autonomous intelligent personal assistant for fashion product designers. Our system consists of an interactive environment where a user utilizes different modules responsible for a) data collection from online sources, b) knowledge extraction, c) clustering, and d) trend/product recommendation. This paper is focusing on two core modules of the implemented system. The Clustering Module combines various clustering algorithms and offers a consensus that arranges data in clusters. At the same time, the Product Recommender and Feedback module receives the designer’s input on different fashion products and recommends more relevant items based on their preferences. The experimental results highlight the usefulness and the efficiency of the proposed subsystems in aiding the creative fashion process.

The aim of this study is to highlight the influence of the Work School on Theodoros Kastanos, one of the most important Greek educationists in the first half of the 20 th century, through the critical analysis of the his body of writing. It becomes clear that Kastanos' theoretical contribution to the development and spread of the Work School principles to the Greek education was great. His works focus on the Greek student and their position in the Work School context, as well as on the student-teacher relations in the newly formed school. It is evident that the dominance of the Old School need be paused in order for the new principles to be established. The main conclusion emerging through the work of the educator, concerning exclusively the theory and application of the Work School, is his assurance that its basic principles are the only right solution in order to improve the operating conditions of the Greek School in the early decades of the 20th century; an improvement based mainly on the way it functions in relation to its students, their relations with their teachers and proper teaching.
