Features: This book is a design aesthetics book centered on fashion. More precisely, it is a book about fashion art written from the perspective of fashion aesthetics, integrating concepts and methods from aesthetics, history, design art, and fashion studies. The entire book systematically and deeply analyzes fashion art through five parts: the basic characteristics of fashion art, the artistic representation of fashion, typical theme design in fashion art, the design scale of fashion design, and the judgment of 20th-century fashion art. These are the author's recent reflections on fashion art and are believed to offer fresh and valuable insights to fashion students, enthusiasts of fashion art, and fashion designers. The book is divided into five parts. The first part primarily discusses the attributes and positioning of fashion art. It addresses some controversial issues in the international fashion industry, reflects on the commonly but vaguely defined artistic positioning of fashion within the domestic industry, and sets the discussion premise for the artistic belonging of fashion. The second part selects eight art movements closely related to fashion, elaborates on their relationship with fashion, and summarizes the design principles of related fashion styles. The third part focuses on eight important and common fashion design themes, exploring their aesthetic interpretation, connotations, and design expression, and summarizes design principles as a basis for judging fashion art. The fourth part discusses five aspects from the perspective of measuring fashion art design, with the five topics being issues the author considers in fashion art criticism and design. The purpose is to establish a design scale for fashion art. The fifth part briefly reviews the history of 20th-century fashion design and critiques ten important fashion designers of the 20th century from the perspective of fashion art judgment. This not only provides historical validation for fashion art judgment but also seeks references for the future development of fashion art. The appendix lists a main reference bibliography and, due to the current confusion in the translation of related names, provides a Chinese-English name for the main figures and art terms discussed in the book. This book primarily reflects the author's long-standing thoughts on fashion art and aims to provide a reference book on fashion art for the author's students and enthusiasts of fashion art. Rational judgments made from the perspective of examining fashion art can also offer valuable insights to designers, who are the main creators of fashion art. The book systematically and deeply analyzes and judges fashion art through five parts: the basic characteristics of fashion art, the artistic representation of fashion, typical theme design in fashion art, the design scale of fashion design, and the judgment of 20th-century fashion art.
