Chapter 62 Costume culture

Students from the Manchester Polytechnic School in London, UK, recently created a women's fashion together. The material is navy blue, and the trousers and jacket are inlaid with thin golden threads. The advantage of this style design is that it is suitable for going out , tourism, or as work clothes, etc., and a small round cap is added to make it more lively and solemn, so it has been valued by the fashion and textile industries and displayed and promoted.We saw the style of the photos published in the newspapers and thought they were quite elegant. The author does not intend to ask everyone to imitate new styles of foreign fashion, but it just triggers a little impression. The current trend of foreign fashion design seems to be conceptually the same as this era of enterprise, which emphasizes scientific efficiency and multi-purpose management (purposes). In order to adapt to this busy social life, it is best to wear a set of clothes on any occasion, and you can be comfortable in any environment without feeling inappropriate, eliminating the trouble of changing clothes, and sometimes It's really too late to go home and make a fuss again, because most people are not only extremely busy every day, but also have occasional various social contacts, which make people unable to avoid it.This does not only refer to women's clothing, especially men's clothing, which lacks universal styles.

In social occasions, it is common for guests who come in a hurry to apologize and say: Sorry, the clothes are not neat, it is too late.Or at work, someone teased someone and said: Oh!Isn’t it a pity to wear such neat clothes to work?The problem is that there is no time to replace it. Every summer, in our country, the style of youth clothing is very popular. Although it is called youth clothing, it is still suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. It is more refreshing and comfortable than wearing a stuffy suit and tie; if you are advocating frugal style, it is especially advisable.It has so many wonderful versatility that it has naturally become popular.

Looking back at our domestic general clothing design, we can see from the previous clothing exhibitions in various seasons that there are still household clothes, going out clothes, banquet clothes, evening dresses, picnic clothes, casual clothes, and work clothes, etc. Making life too complicated is neither in line with the busy pace of life in industrial society nor with the frugal requirements of our age.The so-called fashion does not mean that it is fashionable to blindly follow foreign trends, but it is right to have clothing that is in line with the culture of the country, as well as clothing design that is in line with the living environment and climate conditions.

Taiwan's ocean climate is changeable, and the temperature is unpredictable. Wearing more than one will feel a little hot, and wearing less will feel a little cold. Especially when the seasons change, it is even more difficult to adapt. When I leave home in the morning, I obviously feel that I am wearing The clothes are in season, but unexpectedly the weather will change suddenly, either it is freezing to the bone, or it is hot and sweaty, and I don't know what to do with the clothes on my body.Therefore, the sales of cold medicine are also the best.Our fashion designers should really use their brains from this aspect to design several common styles, which are both beautiful and generous, and can be changed freely at any time. I believe they will be welcomed by the public and will become popular.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the tunic suit was very practical; after the victory, it was still very popular.Later, somehow, it gradually disappeared. Today, it is almost universally replaced by suits and ties, or only suits without ties, which completely loses the brilliance of Chinese clothing.Cheongsams are considered antiques, as are stately tunic suits.But so far, there is no better clothing style belonging to the Chinese to replace it, which is not a pity. Although the current style of youth clothing is quite suitable, it is still only suitable for the short-sleeved look in summer, and it is useless in autumn and winter. What should I do?

Clothing is also a characteristic of a country's culture. Even as an artistic expression of life, it should have its own characteristics.When there are international programs and activities featuring Chinese costumes, we can’t always take out the ancient costumes of the past dynasties or the costumes of the early Republic of China.I often think that after several decades or a century, if the Chinese at that time also performed Chinese costumes in international programs, apart from still bringing out ancient costumes and early Republic costumes, what styles could represent our country? era?Even in a drama show, I am afraid that the costumers will be stumped and have no way of checking.

A message to fashion designers, not only to meet the needs of the times, but also to explain something to history.isn't it?
