The relationship of fashion and art and art literacy of the students of the department of fashion design

The existence of the relationship between fashion and art dates back to old times. The aim of Worth and Poiret with the arising of haute couture in 19th century was the acceptance of fashion designers as artists. Even though this situation has never realized completely, many designers continued designing clothing with the sense of art and still do. The subject that unites design and art on the common ground is that there is an effort of creating an esthetical product at the end of both activities. In this direction, art lessons have always been a part of design education. As in every design field, in fashion design field art lessons take place in the curriculum. Art provides the inspiration for the designers; students and other designers design clothing by being influenced by the art. Thus, art becomes an eternal research field for designers, art literacy comes into prominence in this respect. The aim of this research is to discuss the relationship of art and fashion within its historical development and reveal the art literacy of the students of the department of fashion design. The research has been carried out in Eskisehir Anadolu University Faculty of Architecture and Design Department of Fashion Design. The method of the research is descriptive. In order to obtain the research data along with literature review art literacy scale that is developed by Assistant Professor Doctor İzzet Yucetoker has been used. Scale 96 has been applied on fashion design student.Keywords: fashion, art, fashion design, art literacy.

현대 남성 스커트의 성별이미지에 따른 디자인 특성과 남성적 이미지의 확장

Male skirt is found in traditional costumes all over the world. Due to the development of tailoring skills in the early Middle ages, men started wearing breeches and pantaloons gradually distinguishing the different characteristics of menswear and womenswear. Since then, skirt became the strong representation of the female gender, symbolizing the feminism. However, under the influences of technological development and diversification in 2000s, gender identity has been diversely expressed in modern fashion allowing male gender to embrace different sexual identities. The purpose of the study is to analyze the nature of male skirts, which have been popularized in modern men's fashion through both the expressional elements and compositional elements. This study associates design elements of male skirt, gradually appearing in the contemporary men's fashion with the sexual symbolism and reinterpreted it's significance in the flow of the modern fashion. Reinterpretation of the gender image in costumes are considered to contribute to the cultural context and extension in diversity. These research results forms a basic foundation to expand in studies of men's fashion design and gender image of costumes through cultural contexts and it's changes. It is considered that this can lay groundwork to make various attempts at passing over the archetype of the gender image besides the continuous appearance of male skirt in the field of fashion design.

Methods : This study reviewed books, professional academic journals and online data, related to the concept and principles of modeling in order to provide the basic foundation for modeling a curriculum for a fashion design course in higher education. Moreover, we documented the goal of and distinction of education in solid modeling in the fashion design field. Based on the information above, we proposed a curriculum for an artwork workshop. The workshop develops a solid modeling structure with consideration of a three-dimensional modeling exercise that applies body, light, space, and movements. The following curriculum has been applied, verified, and supplemented as an academic program for two semesters from 2011 to 2013 at Univ. E located in Seoul and Univ. D located in the Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. Results : Four stages of design education methods for fashion design were proposed for education, validation, and supplementation. Stage 1 is [basic modeling and processing] and Stage 2 is [body analysis] in which the relationships of form, volume, and structure of the human body are reviewed and analyzed. Stage 3 is [cube spacing training], in which formative functions of materials are analyzed for the development of plane to space. Stage 4 applies [integration with human body, application, and deployment], in which theoretical education and practices of defining the data analysis, developing design plans, and delivering design. Through the workshop, students completed comprehensive modeling work through detailed sketches of structures that considered the volume of the human body, dynamic movement, space, and light. Conclusion : Through this research, we developed and proposed a curriculum that combines theory and practice, which allows students who major in fashion design to understand all basic modeling elements as media of the ‘human body’. As a result of applying and supplementing the curriculum for three years, we verified design and aesthetic senses, and self-discovery for each student. Thus, a more systematic education curriculum of three-dimensional modeling is expected in the fashion design field.

Estimating the Residual Space between the Surfaces of Clothing and Human Body

This paper presented a method for measuring the residual space between clothing and human body based on 3D scanning devices. In data collecting procedure, the 3D scanning devices were used to collect original point cloud of apparels and human body. The Geomagic software was used to process the noise reduction and surface reconstruction. In measuring procedure, the volume was calculated by algorithm. Therefore, we can get the value of the residual space between clothing and human body.These residual space is called air gap. Thickness of the air gap is closely related to thermal insulation properties [1] and thermal wet comfort performance of clothing. Meanwhile, the stress levels of apparels on human body can be determined through observation [2], so this technology can be used in the field of fashion design. In addition, 3D virtual try-on system is one of the applications with important value [3].

Art seen from outside: Non-artistic legitimation within the field of fashion design

This article focuses on the relation between art and fashion—two fields of cultural production marked by contrasts and shifting boundaries—by investigating it in light of the perceptions of art among ordinary fashion designers. Drawing on an institutional perspective that conceives fashion and art as social fields, we summarise the effects produced between the two fields, and we outline the processes of identity formation and the legitimation of fields of cultural production. Empirical research on a sample of Milanese fashion designers allow us to determine whether or not fashion designers use art as a means to acquire legitimacy and to create an identity, thereby institutionalising their field of cultural production (fashion) as artistic. Our argument is that identification with art is often rejected by ordinary fashion designers, who seek to legitimate their cultural production, not through art, but through a culture of wearability. The case of Milanese fashion adds breadth and depth to the theory of artification and to the production of culture theory by showing that comparison with the fine arts by actors in a field of cultural production in constant search of legitimation may come about through channels other than assimilation into the world of art.

The Design of a Convertible Garment for Bicycle Users

Background: Recently, the rapid growth of the population of bike users has led to the growing need for functional clothes, and the development of bike wear has become more active. However, it is not easy to find bike wear that is appropriate for physical attributes of Koreans and their environment. The majority part of the bike garments distributed in the domestic market is the result of slight modifications made to the designs of imported famous brand clothing. This paper shows the development of a set of functional bike wear which best meets the needs of bike users. Especially, this study does not take the approach in the point of view of the field of fashion design, but deals with the development of the wear as a convergent design technology of product design and fashion design. Methods: A cooperative system consisting of a company specializing in bike wear, a design firm, a university research laboratory, and a textile industry association was built for an integrated approach. The study shows a successful, integrated research case where research participants have a close relationship from the planning and design phases up to the prototyping phase. For the consumer request investigation, field observation, focus group interview, questionnaire survey, and literature review were carried out. According to the design direction stemming from the analysis of the consumer needs, two final designs of convertible bike wear were completed after defining the pattern as functions and two times of pattern design, prototyping, fitting test and refining the patterns. Results: The results show that the two sets of convertible bike wear developed in this study were praised for their size suitability, functional performance of the fabric, and the ability of the convertible garment for coping with diverse exercise environment in both the usability test and an inspection performed by an authorized testing institution. The newly developed 3-layered fabric enhancing functional efficiency and remedying the existent fabric’s shortcomings was adopted, and patterns and composition methods applying the concept of a convertible garment were designed for corresponding with diverse exercise environments with a suit of clothes. The idea of convertible wear leads bike users to change functional features, such as the warmth-retaining property and level of sweat emission, by detaching or attaching sleeves and trouser legs. Thanks to this idea, newly developed convertible wear could be used by not only bicycle riders for commuting but also the general public for engaging in outdoor activities. Conclusion: The newly designed convertible wear can be a reasonable alternative by meeting the customers’ needs of avoiding the burden of costliness and the feeling of embarrassment about clothing clinging to their bodies. In addition, it emphasizes the necessity of convergence and integrated education between fashion design and product design for designing sportswear.

A Study on the Categories and Contents of Fashion and Technology Trend: Focused on Design Field

This study examined the categories and contents of technology that is recently influencing the fashion design. For this, the cases of global companies integrating fashion design and technology were examined, and the types of technology integration studies within the field of fashion design were analyzed through the trend of fashion-technology integration in domestic academic circles released since 2000. According to the case of global companies integrating fashion design and technology, various companies and fashion brands have released fashion products that are integrated with technology, and such integrations are developing up to the field of fashion shows and displays in addition to fashion products. The analysis of studies related with fashion and technology in the design field showed that domestic studies on fashion-technology integration were manifested as the types that applied various technologies to the fashion design. Such types were categorized into the studies that applied light-emitting technology, studies that focused on the integration of interaction and textile design, studies that applied response-perception, studies that used attached electronic devices, and studies that used autogenic bacteria. The fashion has less negative impact on body and environment compared with other areas, and therefore, is the best area for the experiments in IT, bio, and electronics areas and for the integration of fashion and technology. Moreover, studies on fashion that suggest the capability in developing and industrializing cases through the collaboration with other fields such as IT, bio, and electronics shall continue.

Interfusion of fashion and art at the turn of the centuries

With the pop culture which penetrated all aspects of human life in the sixties and the rapid development of new media and technology, social sciences, fine arts and related disciplines in the field of applied and performing arts have entered a period of exceeding boundaries and abandoning earlier paradigms of knowledge. Arts opportunities are expanded, leading to interaction and combination of codes and media, different cultures and modern design. Liberation of old forms and introduction of new practices in creating fragmented hybrids in which culture and art disciplines communicate globally produce a fusion of the heterogeneous and the homogeneous. Globalization, conceived as a process of social and cultural integration of different cultural values, has nowadays become the basic structural feature of the re-configuration of cultural patterns. Contemporary artists are searching for a different creative practice and they are more inclined to multi-disciplinary contents. Interfusion of artistic disciplines opens interactive options that encourage experimenting in all areas of cultural production, stimulated by development of new technologies featuring new ideas through the communication of motion pictures. In the field of fashion design these changes in approach inspire fashion designers to re-evaluate the role of clothing, which should contribute to finding alternative practices. The relationship between fashion and art begins to emerge as a field of theoretical debate in which the fashion scholars explore the intersection and the relationship between these disciplines while questioning the former division. By drawing parallels and taking inspiration and techniques from a variety of artistic disciplines, fashion designers examine new communication contexts and transcend traditional categorization of art disciplines, raising new questions about the work of art and about the function and use of clothing. The once clearly set boundaries of artistic disciplines have already been blurred and a new generation of artists is expressing itself through conceptual approach and by symbolic interpretations while moving away from industrial capitalism and entering trans-modern globalism.

트리즈(TRIZ)이론에 의한 패션디자인의 적용 - 레이 가와쿠보의 패션디자인을 중심으로 -

Creativity is a rising topic in the current society. The emphasis on creativity is valued as a key factor for success in all areas including but not limited to politics, economy, culture, arts and design. The field of Fashion design is probably one of the few areas that talk about creativity as a necessary quality to survive. The purpose of this study is to introduce TRIZ(Teoriya Reshniya Izobretatelsskikh Sadatch) as a theoretical tool to generate creativity in fashion design. TRIZ is a creative method of problem solving based on data analysis of outcomes invented by engineering. The fundamental concept of TRIZ has been researched through documentary studies, and practical case studies of product designs are used. Fashion design cases from Comme des Garcons by Rei Kawakubo are used to apply TRIZ in fashion design. Rei Kawakubo`s design philosophy has been studied through fashion writings and visual sources in books, exhibition catalog, www. style. com and online shopping mall sites. This study has selected four principles among forty inventive theories of TRIZ: segmentation; asymmetry; consolidation; and preliminary action to apply to Rei Kawakubo`s fashion design. As a result, TRIZ can be applicable to fashion design as a creative thinking methodology. By using the four principles of TRIZ, this study shows how Rei Kawakubo`s design enhanced its efficiency and aesthetics of the products and was distinguished from existing items. It is meaningful to demonstrate a possibility of adopting engineering based creative methodology in fashion design to widen the perspective and to raise a question for the need of interdisciplinary creative methodology with traditional aesthetic approach in fashion design.
