The Research Of Demonstration Design Of Chinese Costume By Using The Chinese Element

With the rapid development of our country's economy, people's national consciousness has become more and more stronger. The Chinese costume, which can be seen everywhere, is becoming more and more popular in recent years. Because of the beginning of the demonstration design of Chinese costume in china is rather late, it lag out a lot compared with the American and Japanese design that flooded with the world. The thesis makes an analysis of the traditional Chinese element and try to apply them into the demonstration design of Chinese costume. First, an analysis of characteristic is taken on the Chinese costume and the traditional Chinese element from designer's perspective, then a discussion on them is carried on, and finely their characteristic is applied to a demonstration design example of Chinese costume-'Qipao'.According to the difference of manifestation, the characteristic of Chinese costume can be divided into the external"shape"and the latent"soul". The element of"shape"is the image of the costume that can be seen, which includes: textile raw material, weaves the tool, the clothing form, the color, the design, the decoration and so on. The element of"soul"can be divided into three parts: First is the costume culture of Han Nationality, which contains the inherent tradition morals; Second is the costume culture inheritance of national minority, because of the difference of custom, art esthetic of 56 nationalities are so large, the costume cultural characteristic of them is very rich; Third is the influence of custom and taboo, which is the custom image caused by the social culture evolves and the taboo that cannot violate. It can be seen that the Chinese element in traditional Chinese art, concluded by the modeling, color, material and chart grain four aspects, can be performed by the symbol, the implication, the harmonics, the mark, the writing and so on.We can get very rich cultural concept from the exploration of Chinese element. Apart from exploring the concepts, this paper also applies these concepts to a demonstration design example of Chinese costume-'Qipao'.Apart from exploring the evolution and characteristics of Chinese element, this thesis also focus on the interpretation and modification of these concepts during demonstration design of Chinese costume process, so that it can be fully embraced in the design of costume demonstration. For the professional designer, this research hopes to establish the framework for cultural design that will inspire modern designs, and through which the spiritual essence, cultural values and artistic styles may be assimilated into modern fashion and designs.
