Features of using reminiscence in designing a fashion suit

Abstract

The article analyses the meaning of the concept «artistic image» in the designing a fashion suit, as well as the peculiarities of the perception of the costume in the modern cultural space. Thanks to artistic image unique artistic and figurative products were created and are being created now, filled with inspiring examples and ideas of the past and the fantasy future. The artistic image in the costume is revealed through the reminiscence of ideas borrowed from the visual, theatrical or any other kind of art. To create an artistic image in a costume, as a work of cultural and artistic significance, the designer uses a historically established set of artistic means and techniques, which implies the choice of artistic foundations and proportions that form the artistic style of a fashion costume, the organisation of compositional and constructive lines and external silhouette forms, the choice of corative elements characteristic of the selected source of inspiration, based on which the product is created. At the stage of designing a fashion suit, the designer searches for means to satisfy human tastes, followed by their implementation into a finished unique product. The process of implementing the designer’s ideas implies not only a technical component, but also an artistic one. For the process of artistic design, reminiscence is used as one of the methods of shaping a fashion suit. Reminiscence in the process of creating a costume, as a rule, is secondary and retrospective, but always gives the product the quality of novelty and uniqueness. In completely new readings and in other semantic and compositional combinations, previously known themes, plots, motifs, forms and elements are interpreted in the costume.
