미메시스를 적용한 캐포츠 룩 디자인 연구

With the development of technology and internet media, various information abounds, and mimesis theory is becoming the center of conflict between creation and plagiarism. The current fashion design is closely related to various mass media, causing conflicts between creation and plagiarism. In this study, the changes of meaning of mimesis according to the times and scholars were reviewed. Also, the different forms of expression of mimesis and types of mimesis were discussed. The concept and design characteristics of the caports look, a combination concept of casual wear and activewear, which are becoming a trending topic in line with recent social trends, were analyzed. This study aimed to apply the mimesis type to the caports look and develop caports looks to which the mimesis theory. The results of the analysis of the types and characteristics of mimesis through literature studies and the design characteristics of caports look are as follows. First, in the similarity of the external mimesis, the shape of the activewear was designed in the same way, or the same design elements such as silhouette, shape, and material were used to reveal the simplicity of the caports look. Second, the similarity of the external mimesis showed that the functionality of the caports look appears by partially transforming the form of activewear.
