Clothing Like Architecture

Clothing design can be said to be closely related to our life.

Through the thousands of wonders of fashion designers, all kinds of novelty, treacherous and abstract visual images appear in our line of vision and constantly come into our lives.

However, clothing design is far from simple as we imagine. It requires designers to have a strong sense of aesthetics and values. Since the clothes designed are to be worn in life, we usually demand beautiful, fashionable, elegant and comfortable, and of course, designers need to integrate their personal creative sparks into them.

How do students pition from "user" to "designer"?

The College of art design of Guangdong University of Technology has a creative design course.

"Creative weekly" instructs teacher Wen Miao to explain the creative thinking of future fashion designers by interpreting the costume design works after creative class.

Use architecture to inspire

Different sizes and different shapes appear on the clothing, as if the building is stereoscopic; the soft and twisted mechanism feels like the beauty of the seabed plants.

These imaginative designs are the fruits of a creative course in the Department of fashion design, Guangdong University of Technology.

Even though we often see the grotesque and preconceived ideas of designers in the international fashion show on the T stage.

But what will the creative course bring to the students of the clothing department who are going to enter the garment industry and design for our people?

Even though students' ideas are rich, they neglect the concern of "people" as a dressing noumenon in the process of being in a state of luxury.

In the course of creative design, Wen Miao admits that students' ideas often make her laugh.

For example, in accordance with the consistent design of her classmates' works, she questioned the students: "are our bodies the same before and after?"

Next, most of the students in the class said with one voice: "same!"

It makes people laugh.

In this regard, she is very emotional. Now many fashion design students do not have a strong sense of three-dimensional. It is undeniable that their 2D pictures are quite excellent, and their imagination is also there. Sometimes creative sparks emerge in an endless stream, but they neglect that the clothes designed are for people to wear, while people are three-dimensional.

So, Wen Miao lets students observe architecture and design with their favorite buildings as inspiration.

The richness of the three-dimensional structure and the shape of the building give students unlimited inspiration and inspire students to think and explore materials and tailoring techniques.

Not only will they design, but they will also sew.

Similarly, costume design is a process of artistic creation and a unity of artistic conception and artistic expression.

First of all, the conception of costume design is a very active thinking activity, and drawing the clothing effect diagram is an important means to express the design conception, and it embodies the human body's dressing effect through various painting techniques.

Learning fashion design, thinking ability and hands-on ability two aspects must be excellent, so that we can really go to the mature design way.

Everyone has their own preferences. In design, students always want to choose fabrics that are easier to highlight.

Just like the cloth, they prefer the material of static color, and this creative course just defines the rules for students, and must make use of the cloth to create.

After the end of the course, the students' works were also greatly appreciated by Wen Miao: Although the immature elements were not removed, she could see the burst of creative thinking among these works.

After such a "baptism", the students may gain valuable wealth from his life, because his thinking ability and practical ability have been really improved, his field of vision has been broadened and his grasp of design has been strengthened, which will have an indelible effect on his later design career.
