Segmentation In Fashion Design

Similar to other graphic modeling, point, line and surface are three elements of fashion modeling, but only in specific form.

In the process of garment design, the segmentation method can provide better decorative effects for garment products. It is of great help to understand the commonly used segmentation methods in fashion design.

From the point of view of plane composition, point, line and surface are three elements of form.

There are three elements in clothing modeling, that is, dots (buttons, ornaments), lines (stitches, line ornaments), surfaces (materials, facial ornaments).

There are such or similar divisions in the connection and separation of fabric and fabric.

Segmentation itself has the value of recognizing new space and using new space. Proper segmentation can better integrate and reorganize.

Through segmentation, clothing works can be updated and used more perfectly.

In the design of clothing structure, all kinds of segmentation play a connecting role.

Segmentation is a kind of clothing structure. It is a means of clothing modeling, and clothing materials can be divided into different parts.

Segmentation is the link between successive faces and faces, and it is a bridge between the surface and the surface.

The segmentation mentioned in this paper refers to a method that plays a decorative role in clothing design, which is truly manifested on clothing.

It can be specific, the fabric will be really divided, after necessary processing and re stitching segmentation; it can also be abstract, does not exist in the clothing material itself, but through other high-tech means to achieve a moving light and shadow decoration effect, so that the clothing in the visual division, is a kind of "separate, cut, and constantly" decoration segmentation.

Segmentation not only has practical function, but more importantly, it has an indissoluble decorative function for the whole set of garments.

In garment design, different segmentation can adjust the re creation from the local part to the whole, which is a way to achieve the formal beauty of clothing.

In this paper, according to my own understanding and understanding of segmentation, the author divides it into five categories: straight line segmentation, curve segmentation, free segmentation, variable segmentation and segmentation.

In terms of their form of expression, they are different and have different effects in visual communication. These five kinds of segmentation are indispensable elements in costume design, and their positions are very important.

If you want two or more segmentation methods to be successfully applied to one work at the same time and create the best results, you must first understand them.

1, straight line segmentation

In garment design, straight line segmentation includes horizontal (horizontal) segmentation, vertical (vertical) segmentation and oblique segmentation.

First of all, horizontal (horizontal) segmentation. There are many kinds of clothing with horizontal segmentation. It can be divided horizontally by shoulder line, upper and lower bust line, waist line, upper and lower hip line, knee line and ankle line. It can also be displayed by horizontal segmentation with uneven density but parallel. It is like "sailor shirt" and "zebra shirt".

The repetition of the horizontal line visual effect will have a long feeling of stretching, such clothes appear to be full and broad, so people generally think that fat people should not wear more pverse section of the clothing is also a certain reason.

In men's clothing design, the shoulder, back and waist often use horizontal segmentation, which will show the man's sturdy figure and strong physique.

Horizontal segmentation is a smooth, calm, solemn and solemn static beauty on clothing.

Followed by vertical (vertical) segmentation, vertical segmentation is also widely used in clothing. It can form a provincial line through the bump and back bump, and it can also be segmented through the shoulder neck point and shoulder point forward.

Repeated vertical lines have the feeling of widening the left and right sides, but when the dress is actually dressed, the clothes with vertical segmentation will make the women look slender, gentle and tall, and men are authoritative, serious and clear.

In line segmentation, there is another kind of "alternative" which is oblique segmentation, which includes vigorous and cohesive radial segmentation.

The slash itself has a forward and deep motion, and a slant with different thickness has a sense of direction.

Oblique segmentation in costume design will lead to a certain rhythm.

When using oblique segmentation, we should notice that the slant near the vertical line looks thin, while the slant close to the horizontal line seems to make people fat.

Oblique segmentation is the intermediate link from linear segmentation to curve segmentation.

2, curve segmentation

There are straight lines, songs and straight lines. Clothing is a three-dimensional sculpture. The human body is also a three-dimensional space.

The best dressing effect should be wrapped around the human body. The merit of the curve is not negligible.

Curve segmentation can be divided into two types: "open" segmentation (also called arc segmentation) and "closed" segmentation.

The first is the "open" segmentation, and the "open" curve segmentation is extremely expressive. It can generalize the attractive figure of women into several refined and graceful curves, which show the unique charm of women's clothes.

Nowadays, many clothing except for the "Princess line", other reasonable positions consistent with human activities, can often see "open" segmentation.

Next is the "closed" segmentation. The "closed" segmentation is a form after the "open" segmentation evolution, and it is also a form of variation in the curve segmentation. The final effect is close to geometric shape.

For example, the enclosed circular shape is lovely and gentle; the oval is soft and has a weight sense; the fan is light and sharp, and the shape of the ripples is like singing and dancing in the breeze.
