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 beneficial 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 domestically, and sets the discussion premise for the artistic belonging of fashion in this book. The second part selects eight art movements closely related to fashion, discussing their relationship with fashion, the fashion expressions of their respective art styles, and summarizing their design principles. The third part focuses on eight important and common fashion design themes, exploring their aesthetic interpretations, connotations, and design expressions, and summarizing design patterns 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 prominent in fashion art criticism and fashion design. The purpose is to establish the 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 the judgment of fashion art but also seeks lessons for its future development. The appendix lists the main reference, and due to the current confusion in the translation of related names, a Chinese-English name is provided for the main figures, art terms, etc. discussed in the book. This book primarily reflects the author's long-standing thoughts on fashion art and aims to offer a reference book on fashion art to the author's students and enthusiasts of fashion art. The rational judgments made from the perspective of examining fashion art can also provide beneficial insights for 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.
