Importance Should Be Attached To Talent Training In Fashion Design Innovation

As a populous country and the world's second largest economy, China has strong

Lack of creativity causes talent to be hard to find.

The shortage of labor reminds us that the "made in China" mode of processing European and American fashion brands with low remuneration has been in crisis, while domestic fashion brands are less competitive in the face of fierce international brands.

Faced with such a crisis, how to turn from "made in China" to "Chinese creativity" and make China own brand has a place, and design innovation is an inevitable way out.

There is no innovative design, no innovative design personnel, no designers conveying fashion designers' teaching system, we are still only the world's processing plants, in the profit chain can only get the weakest part, and often because of the constraints of various economic and political environment and being threatened.

In fact, the clothing industry has a strong embodiment of the strength of competition for the design of innovative talents.

Competition of garment innovative talents makes Chinese costume design education

Design innovation must focus on broader fields.

Networked society is also a design society.

The definition and function of design also changed qualitatively, from the aesthetic appearance of products to the use of innovative design in social development.

The factors that affect design include the pformation of population, family structure, new consumption values, pformation of working style, new technology and environment.

Design plays an increasingly important role in the development and progress of the society, and has broader scope and opportunities.

With the development of design, the starting point of clothing design has been extended to the wider field of society, environment and culture from the needs of the market.

With the sustainable design, inclusive design and so on, the current design theory of international design research is introduced into the fashion design concept, and how clothing designers make costume design in the practice of design.

Establishing user centered design concept

The user centered design concept comes from the product design field. The usual costume design from the design practice to the design education is guided by the market, too much emphasis on the product's appearance design, and seldom pays attention to the daily needs of the users.

In fashion design and teaching, less attention is paid to the design method of users' needs, and design and research from the perspective of clothing function.

Under the guidance of user centered design theory and cross disciplinary research mode in Europe and America, a lot of exploration has been made for enriching costume design.

For example, combining electronic wearability technology with clothing design, on the one hand, applying new technology of electronic textile to clothing by way of clothing style and structure design, expanding the function of clothing, improving the comfort and protection function of clothing, increasing the information exchange function of clothing, and designing clothing that can meet the needs of athletes, patients, old people, children and people at work.

On the other hand, the electronic wearability technology can also be combined with the characteristics of clothing for various development.

In order to meet the growing demand of functional clothing for the elderly users, the British national research project on the design of functional clothing for the elderly is starting from the needs of the elderly users. Combined with new textile technology, 3D scanning technology and electronic wearability technology, the clothing that meets the needs of the elderly is developed.

Unlike traditional fashion design concepts, the purpose of "better design for the life of the elderly" is to combine design research and development with user needs as the starting point to develop and design functional clothing.

In particular, the study focuses on interdisciplinary subjects such as social sciences, Physiological Sciences, psychology, clothing, wearability, and so on, and explores the research pattern of aging costume design characterized by interdisciplinary characteristics.

Promoting multidisciplinary research and teaching mode

As the concept of stardom of designers has been diluted, a research and design mode of interdisciplinary talents with different professional backgrounds and advantages has attracted more and more attention.

For example, the British Design Committee has put forward a cross disciplinary approach to design guided integration of sociology, market economics, information technology and manufacturing technology.

The interdisciplinary of garment design and other disciplines, the diversification of training direction of clothing design talents is the characteristics of clothing design specialty in British universities.

At present, there are 52 colleges and universities in the United Kingdom, which have set up clothing design major, and have the characteristics of pertinence and diversification in the direction of fashion design specialty.

It has different features in fashion design and marketing planning, intelligent textile and functional clothing design, fashion design and media, textile and clothing design.

These professional directions integrate textile, marketing, news media, computer technology and other fields with traditional costume design, and train talents for the clothing industry.

As for clothing design education, China has carried out many discussions and attempts to reform, and more exploration is needed in improving curriculum and teaching methods.

Unlike many European and American countries, we have a large number of production enterprises and markets, and we are also facing the same severe problem of population aging.

It is imperative for the garment industry to go from manufacturing to creativity, and the vision of costume design education should also be expanded.

Every year, a large number of graduates of clothing design profession join in the garment industry.

People oriented design concept, multi-disciplinary research and teaching mode can provide students with more direction of development, design innovation ability, good communication and communication ability, and high quality clothing talents can be applied to the needs of garment industry pformation.
