The Unorthodox Use of Bamboo in Fashion Styling Design

Abstract

The avant-garde fashion styling is based on the spirit of fashion pioneer, rejecting the taste of ‘‘mainstream value’’, and based on exploring any possibility of ‘‘boundary value’’ in fashion styling design. Its experimental and innovative design concepts trigger forward-looking thinking and form new work forms, and create unique visual charm works with non-traditional design styles. This article focuses on the expression of ‘‘bamboo’’ with unorthodox material, and expands its artistic expression and understanding of the overall image design through its alternative applications. This article explores the position of ‘‘Heterogeneity’’ in the non-mainstream ‘‘boundary value’’ of works based on: avant-garde art theory, information dissemination theory and hierarchy of needs theory, fusion of the theoretical construction of aesthetic pleasure perception mode, and expands on bamboo material with unorthodoxy performance applied to fashion styling design. In addition, the ‘‘questionnaire survey’’ reflects the public's feelings, reactions and aesthetic value of the use of unorthodox bamboo works. According to the results of statistical analysis, the ‘‘fashion craftsmanship’’ (Q5) (fashion integration) in the works showed a satisfaction score of 8.43 and 8.95 with the ‘‘Bamboo Weaving Traditional Cultural Characteristics’’ level. Moreover, the degree of creativity in the work is 8.36, and among the ‘‘Material--Media Expression’’ (F1), ‘‘Craftsmanship--Formation’’ (F2), and ‘‘Style--Aesthetics’’ (F3) values. ‘‘Style--Aesthetics’’ is the reason that affects the main characteristics of the work. The application and performance of bamboo work in the creative world of unorthodox materials will also carry out a new experiment in fashion aesthetics and follow-up exploration of related extended topics in the form, concept, historical view, and aesthetics of the work.
