The study deals with the modern development of blueprinting technique in Czechoslovakia, which reflected the shift away from traditional forms. It focusses on the specific work with blueprint, and on the creation of professional textile and fashion designers, whereby the beginnings of that creation date back to the second half of the 1930s. Attention is mostly paid to the subsequent stage limited by the years 1948-1953. After the Communist coup d ́état, blueprint fashion design developed in a setting formed by the governing ideology. As a consequence thereof, higher attention began to be paid to traditional folk textiles, among which the blueprinting technique reached a distinctive position. Artists specialized in different fields created diverse, mutually disparate and undoubtedly inspiring projects, which dealt with designs of modern women ́s apparels. Most designs were experimental and they searched for a suitable perception at the time of a new way of labour. The activities within the observed period laid the foundations of the follow-up systematic designer ́s activity in the field of blueprint apparels, which has been evolving to date. The study deals with a topic that has not been treated yet; it is based on thorough investigation of professional period journals and archival materials.
