What is the concept of clothing line design?

Unity, emphasis, balance, proportion and rhythm.

Unity, also known as unity, has a similar meaning to harmony. When designing clothing, harmony is often used as a means to achieve the purpose of unity. In good design, the arrangement of materials, colors, lines, etc., should be consistent between parts and parts on the garment, and between parts and the whole.

If there are too many variations in these elements, the consistent effect is broken. The most common way to form unity is repetition, such as reusing the same colors, lines, etc., to create a unified character.

Emphasis is also known as emphasis or emphasis. Although the design pays attention to the principle of unity, the result of excessive unity often makes the design tend to be bland, and it is best to make a certain part particularly eye-catching, so as to create an interesting center in the design. This emphasis can be achieved by using the contrast of colors (e.g., a black dress with a red belt), the combination of materials (e.g., a woolen coat with a fur collar), the arrangement of lines (e.g., the opening from the neckline to the hem of the dress), the features of the cut (e.g., the design of the shoulder yoke and the princess thread), and the use of ornaments (e.g., a gold necklace on a black velvet cheongsam).

However, the above emphasis methods should not be used at the same time, and the emphasis should not be too much, and the beautiful part of the wearer's body should be selected as the center of emphasis.

Balance is in line with the principle of balance when it gives the design a stable, static feel. Equilibrium can be divided into two types: symmetrical equilibrium and asymmetrical equilibrium. The former is based on the center of the human body as the imaginary line, and the left and right parts are exactly the same.

This style of clothing has a dignified and solemn feeling, but it is more rigid. The latter is a sensory balance, that is, although the design of the left and right parts of the clothes is different, there is a sense of stability, and the purpose is often achieved by diagonal designs (such as the front placket of the cheongsam). This design gives the impression of elegance and suppleness.

In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to the balance between the upper and lower body of the garment, so as not to make it feel too heavy and light, or heavy and light.

Proportion refers to the distribution of the size between the various parts of the garment, which seems appropriate, such as the relationship between the pocket and the size of the body, the width of the collar, etc. **Split proportions, mostly suitable for the design on the clothes. In addition, attention should also be paid to the size ratio of ornaments and accessories.

Rhythm refers to the repetition of a regular rhythm that produces a soft sense of movement. For example, the rhythm of gradation of colors from dark to light, shapes from large to small, repeated rhythms with regular repetition of lines and colors, and fluttering rhythms such as streamers on clothes are all commonly used in design.

Clothing, generally refers to clothes, shoes, bags, toys, accessories, etc., mostly refers to clothes.

First, quality. Color, shape, material workmanship.

2. Functions. Modeling, material workmanship.

Function. Clothing has three functions: health care, decoration, and industrial use: health care, decoration, and work use.

3. Classification. Sweaters, T-shirts, formal wear....Wait a minute.

Fourth, the introduction function.

Keep out the cold, keep warm, and give you the most intimate care! At the same time, it makes people more beautiful, beautiful, fashionable, elegant and generous. As the saying goes, "A man depends on his clothes, and a horse depends on his saddle".

5. Classification of the basic form of clothing.

Body type, style type, mixed type.

Fashion design majors are generally divided into several types: fashion design and technology, fashion design and marketing, fashion design and processing, and fashion design and engineering

1. Fashion design and technology: Fashion design and technology education is to actively adapt to the needs of vocational and technical colleges and universities for clothing professional courses and the structural adjustment of the garment industry, aiming to cultivate and master the basic theories and basic skills and methods of clothing design and technology, with the ability to combine scientific thinking methods with practical hands-on ability, with innovative thinking of clothing art design, proficient in the principles of clothing modeling and structural design and computer-aided design skills, and proficient in completing clothing styles and process production. With good quality of teaching and educating people, professional teachers engaged in fashion design and technology courses in secondary and higher vocational and technical education and senior applied talents engaged in fashion design and technology production.

2. Clothing design and marketing: Clothing design and marketing major cultivates basic knowledge of clothing design and clothing marketing and the operation skills of enterprise e-commerce business activities, can design and produce clothing products according to market demand, and has skills such as online store opening, operation and management, image processing, network product promotion, clothing product sales management, etc., and can be engaged in clothing design, clothing sales, network marketing planning, network promotion, information collection and processing, and has a certain sustainable development of professional and skilled talents.

3. Garment design and processing: The garment design and processing major cultivates high-tech application professionals who meet the needs of the production, management and service of garment enterprises; On the basis of mastering the theoretical knowledge of garment style design and structural design, students will focus on mastering professional skills such as garment board making, garment production technology management and garment marketing. Have a good work ethic and professionalism. Garment structure drawing and modeling, garment production and technology, three-dimensional cutting, fashion painting, garment design, product planning, garment production technology management, garment marketing, garment CAD, etc.

1.Fabric series method: refers to the series design method that uses the characteristics of fabrics to express the sense of series through contrast or combination.

Normally, when the appearance characteristics of a certain fabric are very distinct, its shape or color can be played more casually in the series performance, so the fabric characteristics at this time are enough to take on the task of dominating the series, forming a strong sense of visual impact of the series.

2.Craft series method: refers to the series design method that emphasizes the technological characteristics of the garment and runs through the process characteristics to become the relevance of the series of garments.

Craft features include trim, embroidery, pleating, cutout, openwork, decorative threads, structural threads, etc. Craft series design is generally the repeated application of the same craft technique in multiple sets of clothing, making it the most eye-catching design content in the design series. If the craft characteristics are only embellished on the clothing, it cannot form the style characteristics of the clothing, and it will become an accessory.

3.Jewelry series method: refers to the series design method that forms a series of clothing by emphasizing the design of accessories that match the style of clothing.

Larger and serialized accessories can enhance the design effect of the garment, and can also change the style of the garment. Most of the clothing that uses jewelry to form a series of clothing is simple in style, and then boldly uses clothing to highlight the role of clothing decoration, and pursues the unity and chic of clothing style.

4.Theme series method: refers to the series design method that uses a distinctive design theme as a series of clothing to express its thematic appearance.

Theme is one of the main factors of clothing design, and any design is an expression of a certain theme. Clothing is composed of style, color, and material, and the three must have a unified element to be coordinated and unified, and this unified element is the theme content of the design. It allows the design to be shaped, materialized, and coloured around the theme, otherwise the shape, colour, and material would be siloed, making the set design meaningless without a theme.

1. Theme series.

The theme is the determining factor of clothing design, whether it is the design of creative clothing or practical clothing, it is the interpretation and expression of the theme, and it is the creation of the theme with modeling elements, color matching and material selection. If there is no theme in the design of a single piece of clothing, there will be no spiritual connotation and appreciation space, and if there is no theme in the series of clothing, it will be chaotic. As you can see, the theme is at the heart of the design.

Second, the silhouette series.

The silhouette collection is based on a variety of designs derived from the similarity of the outer silhouette of the garment and the variation of the internal details. The silhouette series emphasizes the characteristics of the silhouette, and the internal structure details are rich in changes and orderly and rhythmic, which is subordinated to the outer silhouette and cannot dominate and destroy the integrity of the series design. In order to highlight the series, further consideration can be made in terms of colors and fabrics.

3. Color series.

The color series is a set of colors as the unified element of the series of clothing, through the use of purity and brightness differences, gradients, repetitions, sameness, similarity and other configurations, the pursuit of formal change and unity. There are four forms of this:

1) Achieve a unified hue series with a single hue. For example, each of the garments in the series has the same brightness and purity of red, that is, the red series.

2) Achieving unity through color brightness in a series or the dominant color in a series of garments dominates the entire collection through changes in lightness. Such as bright yellow series, black and blue series.

3) A series governed by the purity of color and grayscale. Such as the blue and purple series.

4) A series formed by colorless black, white, and gray.

Due to the unity of color tones and the arbitrary changes of shape and material, the overall series shows a rich sense of hierarchy and flexibility, but in the series design with color as a unified element, the color should not be too weak, so as not to weaken its series characteristics.

Fourth, the details of the modeling series.

The detail modeling series is to take some of the detailed modeling elements in the clothing as a series element, so that it becomes the associated element of the entire clothing series, and through the same, similar, size, proportion, color and position changes of this or this group of elements, the whole series produces a rich sense of hierarchy and unity.

Fifth, fabric series.

The fabric series clothing mainly relies on the characteristics of the fabric to create a strong visual effect through the contrast and combination of fabrics. Or rely on the strong personality and style of the fabric, or rely on the texture and secondary modeling of the fabric, plus the change of style and color performance, so that the fabric series has a strong visual impact.

The main forms of clothing design include autonomous design and forced design.

Goldlion comes to the man's world, the woman's style.

Costume design

Clothing design is a general term, according to different types of work and the nature of the work can be divided into clothing design, structural design, process design, the original meaning of the design refers to"For a specific goal, in the process of planning, a problem solution and strategy are sought to meet a certain need of people"。Design involves a wide range of aspects, including social planning, theoretical models, product design, and the development of engineering organization plans. Of course, the goal of design embodies the mechanism of human cultural evolution and is an important means of creating aesthetics.

As the name suggests, clothing design is an industry that designs clothing styles, and the clothing design process "is to conceive according to the requirements of the design object, draw renderings, floor plans, and then make them according to the drawings to complete the whole process of design".

The design has both"Elements of fact and "value". The former explains the state of affairs, while the latter is expressed in terms of theoretical and aesthetic propositions, that is, "good and bad, beautiful and ugly".

Different types of design tend to focus on different types of thinking. For example, in engineering design, more attention is paid to rational analysis, while in product modeling design and industrial design, the overall process is emphasized, and the factor of image thinking needs to be used, and more attention is paid to "beauty" in clothing design.

The task of design is not only to meet individual needs, but also to take into account social, economic, technical, emotional and aesthetic needs. Because there is a certain contradiction in these many needs, the design task itself includes the coordination and opposition between the various needs. In the renewal of modern design concepts, it is also necessary to follow the design specifications and consider these many "needs".

Design is the primary link in material production and cultural creation. It is always mediated by a certain cultural form. For example, if the same building materials are used in the design of a construction project, different social cultures will give birth to different architectural forms. Using similar clothing design ideas, different social norms can also produce completely different design styles.

"Design refers to planning, conception, and setting up a plan, and also means imagery, drawing, and modeling. ”

The clothing design process "is to conceive according to the requirements of the design object, and draw out the renderings, floor plans, and then according to the drawings to make the whole process of completing the design".It can be seen that without conception, there can be no design; Without a good idea, it is impossible to produce a good design. Therefore, the study of the concept of fashion design is of positive significance for cultivating the basic quality of fashion designers and improving our level of fashion design.
