Features: As early as the Stone Age, humans wore leaves or animal hides directly on their bodies, which were the earliest clothing materials. At that time, these materials were sourced locally. By the late Old Stone Age, humans had learned to spin fibers into threads to weave flax, wild silk, animal hair, etc. In the later period of the New Stone Age, human clothing materials were mainly natural plant fibers, such as Chinese silk fabrics, Egyptian linen fabrics, Indian cotton fabrics, West Asian wool fabrics, Mayan cotton-hemp mixed fabrics, and South American cotton-wool mixed fabrics. By the end of the 20th century, synthetic fibers were successively introduced, and new materials emerged one after another, meeting the requirements of various fashion design aesthetics. If the beauty of clothing is mainly determined by its external form and visual effect, it cannot be ignored. Even for the same color and style of clothing, due to the material's 1990s, design with structural modeling as the main focus found it increasingly difficult to break through and innovate within the traditional realm of clothing art. The development and reinvention of materials provided modern fashion design with new creative spaces.
