Glowing felt textile [Invited

We demonstrate a new technology–a combination of side glowing (or side emitting) plastic optical fibers with seamless felting technology–that addresses the challenges of smart textiles related to cutting and stitching together with the ability to be washed. The technology was explored for the development of a collection of dresses called “Deep Sea Life” that exhibit versatile designs and styles and so can advance modern fashion design.

앤 드뮐미스터와 하이더 아커만 컬렉션에 나타난 조형 특성 비교 연구

Belgian fashion, which is based on the aesthetic view of breaking from stereotypes and structurally fragmented heterogeneous codes, is introduced every year as strongly formative works that respond to consumer needs, and Belgian designers constantly react to the present with creative thinking and a progressive attitude. Through a comparative study of the works of first-generation Belgian designer Ann Demeulemeester and next-generation designer Haider Ackermann, who lived during a period that saw the replacement of generations in Belgian fashion, this study aims to systematically identify and present formative characteristics in clothes. This study comparatively analyzes the similar expressions of these two designers based on the same age and different structural forms that appear contemporaneously and reproduces them as mock-ups so that the formative value in these collections can be utilized to develop and expand expressions in modern fashion design. This study should be applied to constantly changing modern fashion designs to seek creative designs that break from the general system of composing clothes through an analysis of the collections by the above two designers, who realized intelligent beauty with experimental and multilateral designs. The results of this study can be combined into a new methodological model in various fields of creative design, including fashion.

중국 이족 전통복식의 디자인 특징을 반영한 현대 패션디자인 연구

With the onset of postmodernism at the end of the 20th century, fashion started to reflect the combination of eastern and western cultures as the specific clothing of various ethnic groups around the world became a prominent source of ideas in fashion design. Particularly, the clothing of Chinese ethnic minorities features unique aesthetic values and dress codes. Reinterpreting these clothes is therefore useful for creatingnew fashion styles. Prior research focused onthe traditional clothing of the Yi tribe—one of China’s ethnic minorities—to study their historical, environmental, and sociocultural influencesand examine their design characteristics. The Yi traditional clothing’s design elements include motifsexpressing the five senses; five sets of apparel were therefore designed and crafted. Current research suggeststhe applicability of Yi traditional clothing in modern fashion design. For instance, modern clothing designs featureYi motifs and elements such as the Yi clothing’s round neckline, standing collar, short low-height Chinese collar, and triangular pockets. Modern designers have also incorporated Yi women’s accessories, a Yi shape in the sublobar hat’s visor, a necktie-shaped band on purses, a hanging appearance through the use of a belt, a pleated skirt,and U-shaped and V-shaped hemlines.There is, additionally, the shape of a sleeve that appears when wearinga long-sleeved innerwear top and a short-sleeved outerwear top, as well asa wool vest’s decorated sleeves, a layering effect by wearing outerwear and innerwear tops with different lengths, an opening or slit, the arrangement of a curved-line pattern on the collar, a pattern arrangement on the front closure, and Maya patterns

LASERTECHNOLOGY IN MODERN FASHION DESIGN

The aim of the article is to explore the available information related to the use of laser technology in the development of modern fashion design. The laser is not only a mechanical instrument, but also a tool for design creation. The relationship between fashion and technology is not new. Laser cutting is increasingly common in garment manufacturing. In synthetic fabrics, laser cutting produces well–finished edges as the laser melts and fuses the edge. In laser engraving laser is used to mark or engrave an object. The marks produced by laser engraving are clean, crisp, permanent. Laser can also be used in marking on various surfaces. The advantages of laser marking is fast, high precision and clear marking on products. Laser marking is durable and can be applied in clothing and leather. Laser marking is considered to be the best choice for branded clothing and marking fashion accessories. In the result of research is one experiment result where the optimal parameters for laser marked artificial silk are shown. In the result of this experiment we can see the most suitable CO2 laser parametres for this fabric.

Subject positions embodied in military uniform and its influences on modern fashion design

As a solemn and serious uniform, military uniform can be differentiated easily from any other clothing in the aspects of color, material and style. Inspired by military uniform, fashion designers have been applying military uniform elements into modern fashion design in recent years, which helps to bring military uniform from the trench onto international fashion runway. The primary method of this research is theory analysis method and exampling study method. Based on the collected materials of modern military uniform, this paper takes the fashion and cultural study theory of the famous American scholar Susan B. Kaiser as the leading theory to analyze four subject positions embodied in military uniform, including nation, rank, gender and time and space. By analyzing the subject positions embodied in military uniform, it shows the rich cultural connotation of military uniform and the function of various small details. Meanwhile, by giving specific examples, this paper explores the influences of military uniform on modern fashion design in respect to color, style, material, pattern and accessory. Through the conduct of this research, it comes to the conclusion that military uniform also has the characteristics and properties described in the fashion and cultural theory of Susan B. Kaiser, in addition, designers can be inspired by every specific object around them, which shows the talents of designers.

현대 패션디자인에 나타난 비정형에 관한 연구

본 연구는 현대 패션디자인에 새로운 디자인 표현 도구로 나타난 비정형에 관한 논문이다. 연구의 목적은 첫째, 디자인에 새로운 형태 언어를 생성시키고 과거와는 다른 다양하고 역동적인 공간, 비기하학적인 다양한 형태를 창출하고 있는 비정형의 개념을 정의하고, 둘째, 비정형에 관한 유형별 특성 분석을 통해 디자인 표현 도구로서의 그 특징과 가치를 규명하고자 한다. 마지막으로 비정형 디자인을 개념화하고 유형별 특성을 분석함으로써 비정형 디자인의 활용과 비정형 형태의 체계를 구축하고 효율적인 디자인 도구의 적용을 위한 정보체계 연구의 기초가 되는 데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 문헌고찰을 통한 이론적 연구와 사례 분석을 통한 실증적 연구를 병행하였다. 패션디자인에서의 비정형의 개념을 정의하기에 앞서 조형예술, 건축 및 공간에서의 비정형을 살펴보고 그 개념과 특징을 정의하였으며, 연구의 분석으로 얻어진 비정형의 개념을 토대로 현대 패션에 표현된 비정형 디자인의 유형과 특성을 규명하였다. 이론적 배경과 사례를 토대로 얻어진 비정형의 개념은 기하학적 질서, 비례, 대칭 등 동질적 요소의 질서로 일컫는 정형에 대한 반대적 의미로서 일종의 자유 형태를 말하며, 부조화, 균형의 파괴로 고정관념에서 탈피되어 작가의 표현 방식에 따라 극적이며 자유로운 분위기를 연출한다. 비정형은 현대 디자인에서 새로운 접근 방식으로 실현되고 있다. 건축에서는 새로운 소재의 사용과 요소들 간에 자유로운 배치 방식으로 순수기하학적 구조에서 벗어나 유연한 공간구성을 보여주고 있으며 제품에서는 순수미술가에 가까운 디자인 프로세스로 자연적인 조형미를 이루고 있다. 현대 패션에서의 비정형은 형태에 있어서 의상이라는 기본 개념과 조형미를 허물고 있으며 소재에 있어서도 재료의 고정됨이 없이 사용되고 있으며 디테일에 있어서 새로운 이미지로 감성을 불러일으키는 역할을 하며 움직임과 착장자에 의해 다양하게 표현되고 있음이 발견되었다. 비정형은 유형별로 분석한 결과로 비대칭, 비예측, 왜곡성, 유희성이라는 특성이 있었으며 기본 구성 원리에서 벗어나 비대칭으로 정형적인 미에서 탈피함으로서 긴장감을 표현하고 착장방식과 이질적인 소재도입으로 비예측적인 결과를 연출하였다. 디자인에 있어서 부분적으로 또는 전체적으로 확대하거나 왜곡한 형태로 표현되거나 기존의 이미지를 새로운 이미지로 전환시켜 즐거움과 미적인 유희를 유발하는 결과를 가져왔다.

한복의 형태적 특성 분석에 따른 현대 패션디자인 개발

The mainstay of modern fashion design has always been Western costumes. Though Asian costumes do get featured in collections at times, most instances are just instances of the western culture showing curiosity toward non-mainstream costumes. Until recently, Japan, which has been the most active in cultural exchanges, has been the main recipient of these curiosities, and has been used as the representative style and culture of East Asia. What needs to be let known is that Korea has its own costume style and culture, which have been developed according to its tradition and beliefs. Hanbok, which is the representative traditional costume in Korea, has existed since the beginning of the Kochosun dynasties. I started this study to figure out the design source of Hanbok's shape and develop it into a modern costume. In the fashion industry, "Mandarin Collar" and "Kimono Sleeve" are common terms, And I hope that words like 'Korean Collar' and 'Hanbok Sleeve' will one day become a household term. Hanbok contains Korea image. And its shape is formed depending on how Koreans have been treating all sorts of objects or things for many years. If my study can identify and express the unique Korean way of pattern and considering clothes, which is clearly different from those of China and Japan, I will be able to establish a concept of 'Korean style', that people of the world could come to recognize.

ANDROGYNY IN DECONSTRUCTIVE FASHION

The advancement of industry and science in modern society has facilitated the inherent growth of humanity due to the provisions of large amounts of information and knowledge. Deconstructionism originated from the desire for self-expression rooted in the inherent growth of humanity and desires to express various characteristics through deconstruction and not be classified and constrained by existing dichotomous structures and forms. Deconstructism (an idea to resist dichotomous ideas and existing structuralism) seeks androgyny as well as the deconstruction of sex vis-a-vis human desire. Human androgyny, inherent in history and ancient Greek myths (Kwon, 2002), is now being adapted by modern society, psychology, culture, and art (Han & Kim, 2012). Androgyny, adapted by literature, sculpture, and painting, is now being used by the production of various images as well as modern fashion costumes. It is necessary to study androgyny to provide an aesthetic value for modern fashion design that can also deeply analyze the ideas and philosophies of fashion designers.This study considers androgyny with a focus on deconstructive fashion, understanding the tendency of androgyny in modern fashion, and providing a reference material for future fashion designs as well as for the direction and development of various fashion accessories and hair accessories.This study uses internet resources and previous research from professional journals and books about deconstructionism and androgyny for a literature review. It adapts an empirical method based on visual images from the design collections of designers defined as deconstructive fashion designers by researchers and professional editors.The androgyny of deconstructive fashion is classified in this study as follows. The first are ambiguous designs that show no clear distinction between sexes. The designers show designs unconstrained by sexes and which seek human instinct through wearing fashion items of the opposite sex that use masks and express sexual ambiguity with makeup and costumes. The second is integration shown in designs with both masculine and feminine characteristics. The designers integrates the lines and details of the opposite sex with costumes and patterns to escape existing ideas and show a silhouette that eliminate sexual stereotypes. The third is deconstructivity as shown in designs with no sexual characteristic and no sexual concept. It is a trend that originated from the interpretative view that adapts the super realism of deconstructionism and is free from an existing aesthetic consciousness to deconstruct a sex role for existing costumes and refuse all standardized ideas; consequently, the roles of costumes and items are eliminated and a new fashion style emerges from the individual values and ideas of designers.The androgyny of modern fashion from deconstructionism diverges from traditional form, integrates with aesthetic factors, and becomes one of a modern style that also provides more creative design motifs for fashion designers.

동물에 나타난 스트라이프의 조형적 특성을 이용한 패션디자인 연구

The purpose of this study is to analyze the formative characteristics of animal stripes based on the colors, shapes and texture through classification standards under functional meanings, and it also aims to produce various stripe patterns based on its outcome to develop modern fashion design. For the study method, specialty publications, preceding researches and internet websites were utilized for the purpose of theoretical discussion on animal stripes. And it is also to examine functional meanings formed by animal stripes in order to analyze the characteristics of stripes; subsequently, based on the classification standard of this function, it is to identify the distinction of its colors through quantitative anal- ysis on formative characteristics and colors. By using the following analyzed color palette of stripes, various stripe pat- terns were developed and designed with the sense of modern fashion while repeatedly using the shape with systematic colors and rhythms displayed on the animals. As a result of this study, it was confirmed that animal stripes possess a reg- ularity that is systematic and can be digitized. After identifying, analyzing and systemizing formative characteristics of ani- mal stripes, a concept of division and competition was applied; subsequently, whole new stripe patterns were developed and designed in order to further promote fashion design.

Conceptualizing Korean Fashion with Inspiration from Traditional Images - Focused on Women's Costume in the Silla Dynasty -

Abstract This paper accomplishes the following points: First, the costume style held by women in the Silla dyn-asty are examined. Second, a new fashion concept is drawn from Silla's costume images with lessons fromanalyzing how major brands from China and Japan have adopted their own traditional images. Third, a Ko-rean fashion concept is crafted to reflect important modern fashion design factors. The conclusions of thisstudy are: The concept of Korean fashion using Silla costume image based on the 2015 S/S trend was dev-eloped and suggested as: ‘Harmony of Contrast’, new beauty created by mutually contrasting things; ‘Time-less’ transcending time-space flowing from the past, present, to future; ‘Empathy’ where past and present areharmonized; ‘Modern with Antique’ expressing a new style modernism where the old retains value. The ef-forts to express identity via conceptualization of Korean fashion are an effective strategy that satisfies thegoals of setting Korea's fashion design apart from others and spreading Korean culture.Key words: Traditional images, Women's costume in Silla dynasty, Korean fashion, Fashion concepts,Korea's representative design code; 전통 이미지, 신라 여성 복식, 한국적 패션, 패션 컨셉,한국 대표 디자인 코드
