    Aim of the article is to justify the topicality of contemporary decorative functional solutions in clothing design, emphasizing the necessity of using reflective material elements in clothing during the dark time of the day and assessing the reasons for the lack of existing offer for different user groups. The use of laser technologies, as a modern, diversified design resource and environmentally friendly textile processing method. Research methods: theoretical - analysis of literature sources, statistical data, and analogues; empirical - questionnaires and data processing. Study sample: 288 respondents, period – 2017/2018 study year. The research is of practical importance, as it assesses previous studies, statistical data and analyses the habits of pedestrian reflectors use / non-use in Latvia. The availability of laser equipment at the Rezekne Academy of Technologies provides experimental work with different thickness, different fibre fabrics with a carbon dioxide laser system. The treatment of synthetic fibre reflective fabric is performed by laser cutting, determining the best cutting parameters for a particular type of fabric. As a result, the design of the outfit collection is developed, ensuring a decorative and functional tie in the clothing with reflective elements

    The purpose of this article is to substantiate the use of advanced technologies as a processing method of modern, versatile designing resources and environmentally friendly textiles, and to demonstrate their use in the design of light-reflective material elements in outerwear collections. Functional decorative solutions, using reflective materials, are topical in contemporary fashion design for the dark time of the day and can be realized using modern technology. Research methods: theoretical - literature; empirical - experiment and data processing. Period - 2018/2019. study year. The study is of practical importance as it demonstrates the impact of technological parameters on textiles. The availability of laser processing and 3D equipment at the Rezekne Academy of Technology provides opportunity for experimental work on different thickness, different fiber fabrics with a carbon dioxide laser system and different filaments for 3D printing, determining the optimum processing parameters for a particular type of cloth. As a result, the design of the collection is developed, providing the decorative and functional significance of the garments with reflective elements.
