Every time a brand-new clothing fabric comes out, it promotes the renewal and development of clothing. In recent years, the development of clothing materials is obvious to all, and the properties of some natural fiber materials have been improved, such as the crease resistance of cotton, the machine washability of wool, the fastness of silk, the soft feel of linen and so on. Some are new technologies and materials, such as flame retardant products, high-tech waterproof and breathable fabrics, all kinds of new composite textile materials, anti-static and dust-removing fabrics, all kinds of coated fabrics, etc ... The new materials and products brought by modern science and technology have greatly enhanced the functions of modern clothing and presented a new look.
Known as the "Master of Heavy Metals", French designer Paklana is recognized as the most thorough material innovator. He began to design and display his original works from 1966, and his choice of fabrics was eclectic, especially all kinds of metal materials were skillfully used in his hands. His armor-like metal clothing is decorated with crystal beads, cellophane, pebbles, buttons, records, ceramic tiles and plastic pieces, which creates a beautiful and wonderful image.
Mary mcfadden is a famous American fashion designer, archaeologist and collector. She spared no effort to pursue novelty and novelty in fabric design, and won the "Oscar Award" and "Huang Fengying Award" in American fashion design field twice with 1976 and 1978. The most striking thing in her design career is a special pleated fabric initiated by 1975. This dynamic and three-dimensional pleated fabric is made by soaking ordinary pure cotton or polyester-cotton blended fabric in organic resin, baking at high temperature and hot pressing to form dense and natural pleated copper stripes on the surface of the fabric. This pleated fabric will not deform after a long period of wearing, washing and sunbathing, and the clothes made of this fabric are very stereoscopic and sculptural.
The famous Italian designer Gianni Versace's comprehensive application of fabrics is more special. He can skillfully combine seemingly unrelated materials such as leather, silk, lace and denim to create unexpected effects. As he himself said, "I first combined coarse cloth with gold and silver thread fabric, leather and fabric." And in the design, he randomly mixed completely different artistic styles. From ancient totems to Renaissance patterns, from baroque romance to futuristic avantgarde and handsome, countless patterns and shapes were inadvertently mixed together by the latter, showing a unique personality. He said of himself: "My inspiration comes not from academic research, but from intuition. I always look forward, and even classicism means modernity to me. "
Japanese designer Issey Miyake, known as the "Fabric Magician", is also a master keen on fabric innovation. Pay special attention to the choice of fabrics in his design. The fabric he asked for must be fresh and unique. Give full play to the characteristics of fabrics, change the smooth and bright pattern of high-end women's wear and ready-made clothes, and inspire him with various fabrics and even materials produced by industry such as paper, rubber and plastic to create various texture effects. Lifelong pleating is the most direct impression of Issey Miyake. This kind of pleat is different from the pleated skirt we usually see. The raw material of this pleat is polyester. When pleating by machine, the cut pieces and pleats are directly adjusted according to the needs of human body curve or modeling, instead of cutting the cut pieces from a large pleated cloth and sewing them together as we usually see. When this kind of clothing is laid flat, it presents a clear geometric figure like a sculpture. When it is worn on the body, it forms the beauty of ups and downs with every move of the body. He once said: "clothes should not only be seen from the outside, but also be felt from the inside." . So he didn't start designing clothes until he fully understood the performance of a fabric. He is very interested in trying all the materials that can be used as fabric design materials, and even spinning and weaving himself. He often goes deep into textile mills or workshops to get inspiration from semi-finished products and even defective products and waste products. Kawakubo Ling, a Japanese colleague from Issey Miyake, is also well-intentioned in the use of fabrics. When he designs, he often concentrates 70% of his energy on the texture of the fabric. Even Kenz not Takada, who enjoys a high reputation in international fashion, designs fabrics for his clothes.
There are countless examples of the transformation and application of clothing fabrics by foreign fashion designers. The famous designer Pierre Cardin designed a vinyl mini skirt at 1968. The red banquet dress designed by Walter Vail in 1998 was covered with protrusions on synthetic materials, just like a futuristic work. The models on the runway seem to be wearing masks and dancing, which is quite self-deprecating. In 200 1 year, the "100 series" women's clothing designed by Paul Harvey adopted ultra-light nylon monofilament, and the clothes under it were very small. When worn alone, fiber is like the skeleton of clothes. When several layers of clothes with different colors overlap, rich mixed color effects can be obtained. Latex material, usually used to make condoms and clean gloves, was made into latex clothing by Tiomance in his work "Qingxin 1998-2000", which can be perfectly combined with human body contours like skin.
It is not difficult to see that in the process of clothing development, a large number of excellent fashion designers have made deep research on fabrics, and these fashion designers skillfully use fabrics to create wonderful clothing effects.
