What is the essence of fashion？

What is fashion?

FASHION is Made to Become Unfashionable.

The essence of fashion is a way to satisfy human hunger and desire nowThe

When trying to design fashion, fashion designers need to understand the collective desires of the current people’s desire to get satisfaction, extract the demand from desire, condense the concept, and achieve the design elements of clothing.

Clothing is the most closely linked carrier with humans

It attached human desire to the limbs

Prove an existence

Make up for a missing

The following Kang Shishi passed the node incident in the history of clothing. In the case of answering space, try to restore the situation of human beings at that time, try to analyze the evolution of clothing culture from the perspective of human chasing, but in the end I hope everyone understands:Fashion Design can design clothes, but the starting point of design is definitely not clothing; fashion is constantly evolving, but it is always human mind that evolves.

Middle Ages → Renaissance

Middle Ages Christian theological rule European human spirit,AsceticismIt was preached to the sincere expression of loved God and dedicated himself to God, forcing the believers to abandon the pursuit of the material life of the world.Stocking to cause extinct lust, negate the body

Therefore, most of the medieval clothing ishiddenHumanitySexual specialty, men and women’s clothing styles are basically similar

From the beginning of the Renaissance,Emerging bourgeoisie startsFrom human beingStart thinking about problems and oppose religious theology,Praise the beauty of human nature

Clothing startsThe beauty of the human body and curve beauty, men’s and women’s clothing starts to have differences:

man

Bottom tightly wrapped on the limbs

The top of the top is magnificent

Highlight the beauty of masculinity

woman

Fine waist and milk buttocks

Top tan

Highlight the charm of women

As an example:

Tight corsetDuring the Renaissance, women improved their physical formsonlyMethod, it is the outbreak to the bottom after the accumulation of the medium century.Human began to highlight the “sex” characteristics of women’s “sex”Women’s waist was tightly held by tight -fitting corset, highlighting the chest, but under the right, the thinnest waist was only37centimeter.

First World War and the early 20th century clothing

First World War (1914-1918)

10 million people were killed

20 million people were injured

And dead injuries are mainly concentrated in the labor force

Young man

World War I

Women gradually become the only resource for wartime labor

As women are forced to join production labor

Incorporate into the mainstream society

Gradually get the right to speak

The clothing starts to change with the wishes of women

Paul Poiret Paul Poly

Paul PorraLiberate women from tight -fitting corset,Women no longer need to use their waist to bear the weight of the steel wire.The clothing becomes loose and concise,Move the support point of the clothes to the shoulder, the slender lines and beautiful folds, so that women can get physical liberation

The original intention of Paul Poly designed comes from:

I do not impose my will upon fashion.i ammely the first to perceive wmeen’s secret desires And to fulfil them.
I will not impose my will to fashion, I am the first person to discover the deep desire of women and satisfy it.

At the beginning of the 20th century, with the maturity of feminism, in addition to releasing women’s bodies,Call for equality between men and womenCauseNegative women’s characteristicsThe style of clothing appears, and women break through the traditional moral norms’ imprisonment to another extreme-The breasts are intentionally flattened,Move down the waistline to near the hip line,The hips are tight,Become thin and small,Hair cut short,,The skirt is getting shorter and shorter,The overall presence of “pipe”.

Coco Chanel Chanel

CHANEL, fromMen’sGetting design inspiration, under the premise of women’s elegance, noble, and delicate, a straight -line tailoring of a skirt,No emphasis on any female characteristics,In 1926, Chanel released an eternal classic -a small black skirt.

At the same time, the rebellious spirit of sub -culture in the early 20th century was also displayed on the small black skirt. When people found that they might become a cannon fodder on the battlefield tomorrow, traditional civilization and orderThere was no persuasion before death.So oftenRitual crashandUnreasonableIt will appear together during the same period of history.

blackDuring the Victorian periodThe funeral is dedicated,But Chanel ignored the old law,Bring black into the daily dressing and fashion industry,If you only think that this is because of Chanel rebellion, it is shallow.

ChanelI think: “Black tolerance is everything, and the same is true. Their beauty is impeccable and absolutely harmonious. At the ball, women in black or white are always the focus.” –This is Chanel’s determined personal aesthetic taste

“I want to design comfortable clothes for ladies, even when driving, it can still maintain a unique feminine charm.”——This sentence is the point.

As the leader of independent women’s will in the early 20th century, Chanel’s original intention of all designs came from: a eager wish, a hunger and thirsty appeal-“Men and Women Equality”

The above historical fragments Kang Shishi is just to tell everyone,The shaping of fashion is always inseparable from the satisfaction of human nature.The following is the performance of different human nature in different historical periods for everyone to further understand the essence of fashion:

Human nature can prove an existence

Human nature can make up for a missing

For example

The court proves that it is different from the lower level

The lower level is trying to be the same as the court

Human nature can be a chase

For example, the Moon Girl Look, launched by Andre Kuri, after the first moon landing,

Human nature can be a challenge to the limit

For example, in the late 1950s, MINI SKIRT designed by Mary Quinne

someone saidFashion is constantly changing

someone saidFashion is a reincarnation again and again

From the perspective of Kang Shishi

Rather thanFashion is constantly changing and reincarnation

It’s better to sayThe demands of human nature are constantly changing and reciprocating

The above is inspiring

The essence is up and down, and the most intuitive to maintain the order.

Generally, what the elite is doing, and the general public follows what is imitating. This is fashionable, also called follow -up.It is a spiritual leadership and obedience.

What are the upper elites doing?Fashion is actually doing my best to proof and intuitively -I am the upper level!My status is high!I have power!

The middle and lower layers are imitating, and the upper layers of premium art must continue to change.

This strong desire to express his identity on his face was poor.Fashion is a replacement method of “I am an elite” on the face -civilization points, don’t be so naked.

In ancient times, there was no “fashion”, and the clothing was divided into five colors.Take care of Yueyue.With freedom, we have fashion.

Contemporary Marx: EZIV587

Many people are curious about where the trend starts (who)?Why did a certain element suddenly get angry?Is there anyone (institution) manipulating behind the trend?

Before explaining these issues, let’s take a look at the difference between “fashion” and “clothing” in the eyes of scholars.Objectively speaking, there is no clear boundary between these two words.However, in general, most scholars agree with the following points:

Clothing is material, and fashion is the label of spiritual spirit;

Fashion often changes;

Fashion must have a certain audience foundation. Only clothes worn by others cannot be called fashion;

Fashion must be in line with the spirit of the current era;

The essence of fashion is desire.

First of all, let’s take a look at the main factor that affects fashion trends:

(1) External environmental factors

· politics

Maybe most people do not understand politics and fashion.In fact, fashion is also a mirror of politics.Pulitzer in 2006
Prize), one of the winners, “Washington Post” fashion editor and commentator Robin (Robin
Givhan) is precisely because of writing a series of deep comments on fashion and politics.She has repeatedly interpreted the political philosophy of the United States politicians to interpret the political ideas, her gender status (especially women’s status), and their attitudes to something that they want to express.And almost the first ladies or royal members of each country have affected the local fashion.
For example, Jacqueline Kennedy, the first lady in the United States, Jacqueline Kennedy, Michelle
Obama) His Royal Highness Catherine (Kate Middleton).

The influence of politics on fashion is often reflected in the personal influence of politicians, but also often reflects the revival of nationalism.When politicians often support the national economy, in the name of “patriotism”, the public calls on the public to buy products created (manufactured) created (manufactured) as much as possible.For example, after Trump came to power, he asked American companies to move more businesses back to the United States; encouraging the American people to use “Made in the United States” products.This political call is undoubtedly beneficial for the American clothing companies and designers.

· economy

Economic strength determines consumption power, and it is impossible to have fashion without consumption.The quality of the economy also affects fashion.For example, when the economy is strong, people have the desire to shop, and they are willing to spend time on their own dress, so they may be popular with luxury; and when the economy is in a recession, people may prefer simple ways to wear.

· Cultural Trends

Cultural thoughts also have an influence on the fashion circle that cannot be ignored.For example, the development of aesthetic thought, the rise of minimalism and feminism in recent years can explain this problem.

Minimalism started after World War II, and in the 20th century, 60 to 70
The age has been popular.In recent years, with the improvement of economic conditions, more people have begun to reflect on their own lifestyle.For example: home is filled with things, but in fact, most of them are usually idle.Especially for clothing, when buying clothes, I was very excited; but when I bought it in the wardrobe, many may never be worn.The minimalist lifestyle aims to reduce waste and only buy the real supplies.

This minimalism also affects clothing design.The minimalist style is also one of the popular styles in recent years.Some minimalist brands have also received more market share.

The popularity of feminism in the past two seasons is attributed to a T -shirt design in the spring and summer 2017.In fact, feminism has always existed, but Dior brought it again.”We Should
All be feminist (we should be feminists) is a slogan printed on T -shirt.It comes from feminist writer Chimamanda Ngozi
Adichie’s title published in 2014.Dior’s creative director used it on the brand’s clothing.

In science and technology

The influence of technology on fashion is almost disruptive (in fact, not just fashion).For the clothing industry, technology has almost penetrated all the links from design to manufacturing, to terminal consumption.Smart wearable equipment, and through 3D
The clothing designed by the Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen is an example.

(2) Individual factors

Almost every era has their own contemporary people with extraordinary influence.People in these times often play the role of the trend of the trend of the times.Times characters can be a certain political leader, a well -known social person, etc.For example 20
Ms. Jacqueline, the wife of American President Kennedy in the 1960s; 20th century 90
Princess Diana was also an idol -level figure in the European and American fashion industry at that time; American superstar Madonna has led the trend stage for many years.These people have led or even created the popularity of an era.There are also such pivotal characters among the masters of clothing design.The more influential includes Ms. Chanel, who created the wear of jewelry and knitted jackets; Saint Laurent (Yves
Mr. Saint Laurent) created a female “smoking”, which is neutral, challenging the then patriarchal.

However, fewer and fewer individual characters can have influence on the world’s fashion trend.This is because……

Fashion?What is fashion?Whose fashion is the most fashionable?

This is actually the most afraid of seeing all practitioners in this industry!The content that everyone does every day is actually not much different from other industries. I don’t know when the “fashion circle” appears from when it will start.

I often ask myself, do I fashion? I seem to be a mortal in the fashion circle.

Therefore, the next remarks may not be so colorful and glorious, I hope to help you analyze the nature of fashion from the perspective of ordinary people in this fashion circle.

From ancient times, the apes, primitives, and the appearance of modern people to modern people. First of all, because of the emergence of clothing, people began to give people a need for their own beauty, glorious, and decoration.

It seems that because of the emergence of clothing, people have begun to pursue glimmering, and the pace of pursuit has officially promoted the development and progress of this industry.The same is true of the fur and camouflage of animals at a certain perspective.

It’s just that the difference between animals and humans is that the development of human fashion has culture and culture can explore the source.So fashion is a culture!It is also a culture that is intuitively reflected in clothing!

From slavery to the feudal system, the more factors of clothing such as fabrics, colors, patterns, decorations … have become a symbol of distinguishing class, hierarchy, official position, and identity.Historical change, the advancement of the times, and the emergence of modern human activities have played the role of this spread to the extreme.

With the multiple influences of culture, region, politics, and economy, fashion quietly embeds everyone’s life. You will hope that your lifestyle and eating and wear are fashionable.So in my opinion, fashion is actually a definition given to human beings in the process of modernization. In fact, it is like a label that is affixed to the person in need.

That fashion has been changing, this is better.Everyone is pursuing such beauty, such glorious.And I hope that these glory will happen to themselves.Therefore, it is precisely because of such a pursuit that it has driven the alternation and change of fashion.

Only when we can see different times, different events and different opinions appear, and it is displayed in “fashion”.And the pursuit of each of us is actually seen. Under the influence of big data, every time you click, every choice.Every browse left the opportunity to understand you for “fashion”.Push what you want and think seamlessly to make thoughts simple and make the choice more convenient.

The reason why you ask like this, forgive me, it is likely that you are not enough to understand yourself. He is led by your nose by “fashion” and does not grab its own dominance with it to make yourself confused.

Everyone lives in the world, in fact, the initiative is in their own hands.Choosing to choose or passive acceptance is the key to whether it can be fashionableEssence

You can explore one or two from the simplest dress.I do n’t know what style I am suitable for, I do n’t know what style I am suitable for, and I do n’t know how to match it. This will really bother you.
