Abstract
Design thinking represents a revolutionary model in today's digital age for solving problems from a human perspective. it is a method that focuses on understanding human needs and creating new solutions using the intellectual tools and methodologies employed by designers. By using it, we can address economic and scientific challenges with creative methods that rely on our scalable human capabilities .We perceive and form ideas that guide us emotionally and functionally. If there is a problem whose aspects cannot be easily defined or about which there is insufficient information, design thinking may enable us to move forward using interaction and participation to form prototypes when a new innovation or creative idea is needed. This methodology helps us penetrate the issue and find unique and unusual solutions and visions .In the current century, design thinking has become a comprehensive methodology applied across various disciplines, including textile design as one of the creative methods. The importance of design thinking in textile printing lies in the ability to confront obstacles and transform them into creative opportunities. Therefore, this research is considered an attempt to find an application for design thinking in the field of textile printing by developing an integrated design language that combines beauty with authenticity and modernity, achieving aesthetic and economic values in the final product. The research reached results for proposed design ideas for garment printing that achieve innovative values in the field of printed textile industry through added value that enhances competitiveness.
