김유경 Kim Yoo-kyoung
Abstract
The emergence of modern design is closely associated with repetition of the process to transform every element existing with humanity into new forms. Through endless reproduction of the original and duplication, fashion design is showing expressive features of circulating rebirth. There exists the concept of reincarnation in its very foundation. The concept of reincarnation which makes it possible for new arts to appear keeping speeding up designers` desires for creative development from the past to the present involves a notion having infinite values in its change and methods, and plays a key role in design development. From artistic perspective, pop art, sustainable design, parody, retro style etc. apply the concept of reincarnation to show creative features in design. First, pop art fashion design transformed all the objets and figures related to daily life into icons to represent new culture. In addition, graffiti, cartoons etc. whose artistic values were not recognized in the past are reborn as signs to symbolize the present of popular culture as they are combined with the designers` philosophical thinking. Second, in the natural environment where the fashion designer belongs, sustainable design which has appeared as an important task for development by perception of the present and the future transformed worthless objets including disposable waste etc. into artistic objets which are given aesthetic values, with the help of the concept of reincarnation. The philosophy of pursuing eternal life elucidating the humanity and life for the future is reborn continuously as the concept of reincarnation. Third, the notion of reincarnation in fashion design of parody is combined with the designer`s comprehensive and creative thinking to be characteristic of the expressive aspect that art and fashion are united. Fourth, the combination of retro-style fashion design and reincarnation is recreating fashion design into a symbolic sign to reflect the current social and cultural environments. As mentioned above, the concept of reincarnation which is being evolved in a variety of angles from artistic perspective plays a role in creative thinking by the designer in fashion design and takes on a variety of features. Therefore, we hope that through the present study, the concept of reincarnation will be applied to fashion design as a notion which is helpful to creative ways of thinking, and that it will be able to be employed usefully as a precedent study for follow-up studies in the future.
