The Research On Aesthetic Becoming Of Dressing Imagery

The human being creates clothing in the process of pursuing the optimization of our appearance modality. The creation of clothing makes us have the ability of changing the natural appearance to actively figure the self-image according to our subjective intention. During this process, the human being marginally finds that clothing should be dressing by men to express its beauty, and the real aesthetic value of clothing exists in the worthwhile relationship by the body integration with clothing. Clothing is injected with soul and life by human being's dressing, and passing the original materials selection (the first artistic invention), to the designing and making-up process (the second artistic invention), reaching the third stage of aesthetic invention because of the being of the body and human's dressing. The aesthetic value of dressing influences at large, most often, and most persistent to men, it roundly reflects the life quality of human being, is the most typical aesthetic appreciation activity for mass people and it expresses the more outstanding features of the nature of beauty from dressing's beauty. It sublimes the aesthetic value of clothing, and unfolds the inner spiritual value of human being. The status of aesthetic feeling of dressing is with lifelikeness under the body form and its dynamic aesthetic feeling, and the self genius objectivenization! Therefore, to research the aesthetic value of dressing of human being and each one are the deeply and vividly presentation to aesthetic value of clothing. Through the embodiment dressing of each person baptisms and carries forward the aesthetic value and life value of each person.However, to have the real consciousness of expressing the clothing beauty needs through the beauty of dressing configuration, coming late in 19th century after the creation of clothing. Within the academic region, clothing beauty is regarded as dressing beauty, clothing aesthetics only belongs to the researching area of clothing sculpt while absence from the area of the dressing theory which inducts people how to dress in good taste. Leaving the question of aesthetic judgment standard which decides the quality and level still stay in the place of "no agreement on aesthetic taste", this becomes an excuse to deepen and integrate researching possibility on aesthetic judgment standards. In the everyday life aesthetic academic research, clothing aesthetics and dressing aesthetics are regarded as only concerning the appearance form of body or the superficial aestheticization in everyday life academic phenomenon. So the dressing aesthetics is a neglected yet an importance academic researching region. Because of not finding the key to opening the aesthetic subject and object's cultural aesthetic psychology on mutual becoming, internalization, and externalization processing system in the research of dressing aesthetic activities, broken are taking place on the aestheticization links of clothing industry chain including clothing designing, making, aesthetic appreciation, performing and selling, and the idea of dressing aesthetic education is no more than educating people how to make the best use of color, to choose clothing style and their matching training. The problem of knowing how to dress is simply abstracted to the matching problems between the external formal beauty of body with clothing, and the spiritual concept of aesthetic out-look value, personality, aesthetic appreciation ability and social culture etc.This research is based on the reflection of the above problems, and adopted the researching methods of the ontology of aesthetic philosophy with psychology of empirical aesthetic to elevate psychological analysis of the dressing aesthetic experience to philosophical generalization. The first main chapter explores what is the nature of the aesthetic value of clothing, we distinguish the inner relationship among clothing aesthetics, body aesthetics and dressing aesthetics, and it concludes that there is inner identity between clothing aesthetics and dressing aesthetics. But the clothing aesthetics is not equals to the dressing aesthetics, the connotation of dressing aesthetics is bigger than clothing aesthetics, while the extension is smaller. Clothing aesthetics and body aesthetics are bridged and communicated by dressing activities. Clothing is dressed on the body, and constructed a kind of body configuration aesthetics of the dresser. The dressing activities intertwine the aesthetic vibration among them. The aesthetics of dressing is the body experience oriented dressing aesthetic experiences, the object of this aesthetic experience is not directly existed in the clothing existence, as clothing color, style and materials formal aesthetic elements, not in the natural elements of the human body, but in the new identity---the dressing imagery which is constructed in the intentional process between the dressing and the social body aesthetics out-look of view. It is measured by aesthetic value orientation to direct the aesthetic appreciation towards one's self or others' body configuration after dressing, and to create an inner dressing imagery and transform to the outside dress image with aesthetic apperception, aesthetic emotion, and aesthetic value judgment. The dressing aesthetic appreciation activities are the aesthetic psychological objectiveness activity characterized by the dressing imagery.In the dressing imagery, different elements of the images and meaning are interrelated, restricted, penetrated and to be organized in certain style to form into different level of aesthetic imagery. It behaves both a dynamic process, and a static state. Therefore, the researching method to it can be both the logical analyzes to the becoming process and the description to its structure. The second chapter is mainly the static state description of the dressing imagery, to discuss the configuration, structure, function, characters and classification. The chapter three to the chapter five is the inner logic analysis of its dynamic becoming process. Human being are unconsciously in the process of the aesthetic judgment and evaluation to dressing aesthetics, regarding the dressing aesthetic standard as the inner and outside transmitter to create the profound dressing aesthetic imagery, and to reach an inner consistence, dynamic equilibrium and harmonious dressing configuration, that is the process of dressing embodiment, by externalizing the inner dressing imagery to transform the self dressing aesthetic value to the social body aesthetic out-look of view. The aesthetic judgment is always accompanied the dressing image or dressing configuration to form the starting point, the process and results of embodiment dressing imagery. That is to say, the whole embodiment process of the dressing imagery must be the aesthetic becoming process under the guidance of certain aesthetic standards. The chapter three specially extracts and inducted the aesthetic standards of the dressing embodiment or the aesthetic imagery becoming of the dressing imagery, which is concluded the first five standards dimension:the formality aesthetics standard, function standard, emotion standard, social cultural context standard and personality standard.And these standards are existed interacted and mutual influenced with each other. The formation of a kind of dressing imagery is dominated by one or two standards, and to accomplish the formation with other sub-standards interaction. In different social groups in different periods of time, the consistence of aesthetic standards in a cultural society ensure the dressing imagery into perspicuity, and the aesthetic standards with the aesthetic emotion would be oriented to rational adjustment, induction which would lead the irrational desire of emotion to the intentionally expression of certain aesthetic feeling of dressing. The chapter four uses the empirical aesthetic psychological researching methods, including method of semantic differential to get the aesthetic words bank of dressing imagery embodiment, method of questionnaire and projective methods to develop the dressing imagery investigation questionnaire which is concluded that the formality aesthetics standard and personality standard are the two most important standards both in choosing and dressing aesthetic activities of male and female, but there is much sharper difference among different professional groups:teacher group, student group and office men group regard the formality aesthetics and personality standards are much important while blue-collar workers group social cultural context standard is of great importance; Both in evaluation the self dressing image or others' dressing image, the aesthetic standards exert the key adjustment function to formation of the dressing imagery. The chapter five analyses why there are such heavy and complicated yet still having the inner profound consistence embodiment evolvement process behind the dressing images on the perspective of human historical culture aesthetic psychology. It forms a kind of contextual body aestheticzational practices from the natural body to the cultural body with apparel to the other's body of clothing, at last to the dressing self-body logical transformation process, at the same time, the human being transform a kind of aestheticzational dialectic clothing-self through the sensibility and reason, self and others, hiding and unfolding.The last chapter points out that the embodiment aesthetic dressing should be evaluated in the consistence of truth, goodness and beauty. The embodiment dressing images fundamentally make people not only feel the beauty of fitness to the natural body features, the beauty of social body features, but the beauty of genetic power of the self-reflection and the beauty of self life value. While to really understand, appreciate, express and create this kind of free enjoyable inspiring beauty of dressing aesthetics must need the highly integration of the one's inner profoundness, richness and complex aesthetic ability development. That would embody the expression of independent critical judgment and the spiritual life freedom. And all these must be reached through an aesthetic education of dressing imagery aesthetic becoming and under the induction of its effective educational strategies.
