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.
