What is the influence of ancient Egyptian costumes on contemporary times?

No matter how the times change, modern clothing design is inseparable from the influence of traditional clothing. This is because the development of things is always the link between the past and the future, and people always have emotional factors such as nostalgia, reminiscence and expression of national feelings. The most direct influence of ancient Egyptian clothing on modern clothing is mainly reflected in clothing modeling, color, fabrics, accessories and so on.

Clothing style modeling is the external contour modeling and component detail modeling of clothing, and it is the basis of design change. The external contour modeling of clothing forms the lines of clothing, which directly affects the popularity of styles. The composition of clothing includes the design of collar, sleeves, pockets, cutting structure and even pleats, zippers and buttons. Due to the hot climate in ancient Egypt, the typical shape of women's clothing in ancient Egypt is a close-fitting long skirt, which is mainly a straight skirt and sewn on one side, from chest to ankle. In modern fashion design, many people make full use of the dress culture and elements left over from ancient Egypt, such as wedding dresses, dresses and so on.

The influence of clothing fabric on clothing is particularly important, which mainly affects the wearability of clothing. The difference of fabric thickness, softness, smoothness and smoothness, as well as the difference of fabric drape, luster, clarity, heavy feeling and elasticity, have great influence on clothing. Flax is the most common fabric in modern clothing in ancient Egypt. It is neither hot nor heavy. It can also form simple folds, which is convenient for cleaning. However, many modern clothing fabrics still use flax, and at the same time, they have been improved according to the needs of modern people, making the fabrics more suitable for the needs of modern clothing.

Ancient Egyptian art attached great importance to formal beauty, especially the order of composition. Ancient Egyptian clothing has a simple shape, but the change of folds has formed a rich three-dimensional level and light and shade effect, which is an important means to form the charm of ancient Egyptian clothing. Clothing accessories are often combined with hieroglyphics, which is also a major feature of ancient Egyptian art. In modern design, we often pursue consistency, coordination and order. In many typical clothing designs, we can see that there are only simple lines and folds, but the overall performance of clothing is very layered and orderly.

After studying the ancient Egyptian costume art, we found that people now yearn for a simple, comfortable, exquisite, elegant and young lifestyle, but they don't want to dress themselves too mature, so the ancient Egyptian costume style, which combines simplicity, elegance, youth and rich shapes, has been sought after by modern people.

The masters of fashion design endowed the ancient Egyptian fashion art with new connotations and became a new fashion trend. Today, with the high development of material civilization and spiritual civilization, the level and concept of dress have been greatly improved. People no longer blindly pursue fashion, but pay more and more attention to the cultural elements of classical clothing.
