Costume Designer'S Evaluation Criteria - Knowledge Structure Chapter (1)

Primitive reference is also called imitation, such as: imitating (fear of others), imitation of competition (Superman first), anxiety imitation (same as others but not obsolete, outdated), Trinity imitation: direct imitation (imitation of adults, monkey smoking), indirect imitation (accumulation, summarization, comparison, memory, etc.), creative imitation (innovation of excellence, inheritance of rebellion).

In fact, fashion design is the whole process of creating and inventing, bold design, bold pformation, bold and practical new technology, new materials and new technology.

To some extent, the conception stage of costume design is actually the choice of styles in the mind.

Design is a kind of creation, but it is not an invention.

Therefore, design must draw lessons from predecessors.

Fashion design is even more so, because the changing process of clothing is continuous and uninterrupted. Every garment is in the way of changing the history of human clothing culture.

To learn from predecessors, we must learn and study the achievements and experiences of our predecessors with an open mind.

As for clothing design, the first thing to learn is the history of clothing, because in order to accurately grasp the current fashion in design, we must understand the changing process of clothing in the past and grasp the law of change.

If we want to surpass predecessors in design, we must first learn the historical experience and traditional skills of our predecessors.

It is not only necessary to learn the history of Chinese clothing, but also to learn the history of Western costumes and to study the existing national costumes around the world.

Especially for our Chinese people, in order to catch up with the advanced countries in the design world, we must not only understand our own history, but also try our best to understand the vicissitudes of Western clothing.

In this way, in the face of all kinds of international popularity, we will have our own opinions and opinions when we absorb and draw lessons from it, instead of blindly copying and copying.

In addition, we should draw attention to the breadth, and we should try our best to study and dress in other fields.

Because clothing is a comprehensive cultural phenomenon, involving all fields of social science and natural science.

The content of the designer is complex. It should not only grasp the historical trend and market changes at that time, but also know the strength of himself and his competitors, and have the ability and strength to organize production so as to achieve his own design intent and bring profits to the enterprise.

Therefore, designers should have extensive culture and rich experience, love life, be interested in everything, and have strong curiosity.

In this way, we can broaden our thinking and draw lessons from the design concept.

Only by standing on the shoulders of giants can we design works that are higher than those of our predecessors.

This is the importance of reference.
