Executive Summary of Clothing Prototype Structural Design

In the late 1980s, China's apparel industry entered an era of rapid development, with the industrial output value and the number of employees reaching an unprecedented height. Accompanying this was the rapid development of the apparel education industry and the continuous rise of various design schools. Different structural design methods have become popular one after another. The most representative of these are the traditional Chinese proportion method, the prototype drawing method introduced to China from Japan and the three-dimensional cutting method introduced to China from Europe in recent years.

For users, each structural design method has its own merits. All are used by a large audience. The traditional Chinese proportional method is suitable for people with many years of experience. Generalize and organize your own structural design methods. Facilitate the pushing of boards while making plates. But because there are a lot of calculations in the work. It is more troublesome. Three-dimensional tailoring focuses on three-dimensional modeling, with advantages in asymmetric design, pleats, draping wave design, and exaggerated modeling. But the work efficiency is lower. For me personally. Ten years of experience as a fashion designer, I prefer to use the simple, easy to change, less than calculated prototype method for structural design. First of all the prototype gives us a base shape. There is the base of the human body plus the amount of relaxation, based on which simple changes are made. A new body shape can be quickly arrived at. But the prototype method also has its own disadvantages. For example, the sleeve shape of the cultural prototype is not perfect. The back shoulder has a shoulder save, which is different from our traditional design habits, but through learning, we can easily solve this problem to maximize its advantages.

This book starts from the basics, covering women's wear prototypes, men's wear prototypes, and children's wear prototypes, and explains the structural principles and production methods of several of our common prototypes. And take women's Japanese culture style prototype (sixth edition), women's Denimi prototype, men's shirt prototype, men's suit prototype, children's clothing prototype as examples. Do a lot of example design. This book has a certain reference role for clothing practitioners. Can also be used as a teaching guide book for college students specializing in clothing.
