Abstract

This study aims to present a fashion-textile design process that derives the characteristic of paisley ornamentation from 1900s-2010s fashion derived based on the formative principles of this ornament; they are used in print textile design and applied to garments. Under a theoretical background, for the formative principles of the ornament, this study deals with the motif and pattern. For design planning reflecting formative types, first, textile design skills are used for easy and fast motif transformation and extension via a computer graphic program based on the formative principles of “detachment,” “touching,” “overlapping,” and “union.” The research pursues esthetics by transforming a basic structured motif by applying the formative principles of “spatial distortion” and “penetration” to the paisley ornament. It tries out designs by considering the ornament proportion shown from a bodily frame using the formative principles of “concentration pattern” and “anomaly pattern,” meaning that the structure integrates regular and irregular arrangements that were not used in the paisley ornament in fashion. This creates a garment using the formative principle of “coinciding.” As a result, a collection was created by developing eight print textile designs and six garments and a discussion was conducted about the design methodologies using the formative principles. This presents the motivation for expanding fashion textile design to a professional area.
