Tie-dyeing of fabrics in fashion design

Tie-dyeing of fabrics in fashion design

Traditional tie-dyed clothing has a long history in China and is deeply loved by people because of its simple and unique aesthetic taste. It develops with the progress of social civilization and embodies the wisdom and creativity of our people. On this basis, modern tie-dyed clothing still retains the tradition, and the design of modern tie-dyed clothing is very different from traditional tie-dyed clothing. It is of great practical significance to study the design of modern tie-dyed clothing.

First, the historical development of tie-dyeing

History of Tie-dyeing Development Tie-dyeing originated very early in China with a history of more than 2,000 years. Tie-dyeing is an ancient printing and dyeing technology in China, which was once brilliant in our history. Until now, it still attracts some people with its unique charm. Tie-dyeing technology in Tang Dynasty has reached a high level and spread widely. Tie-dyeing in the Five Dynasties still followed the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and continued to develop. In the Song Dynasty, more people devoted themselves to making exquisite tie-dyed products. Later, with the outbreak of war and the germination of capitalism in Ming and Qing Dynasties, the import of European chemical dyes and the tie-dyeing process itself could not meet the needs of mass production, and they were no longer used in coastal areas and the Central Plains, but only preserved in some remote places. Now we can still see well-preserved traditional tie-dyeing techniques in Dali, Zigong, Guizhou, Hunan and other places in China. In particular, Bai tie-dyeing in Dali, Yunnan, is a place where Chinese traditional crafts are well preserved and the production scale is large.

Second, the artistic characteristics of tie-dyeing

Nowadays, the products in the textile industry are getting newer and more advanced, but the charm of tie-dyeing is irresistible. Specifically, tie-dyeing has the following aesthetic characteristics:

1, halo: halo is a kind of texture effect caused by different binding tightness and absorbed colors in the dyeing process. In this dizzy transition, it is natural to bring a hazy color to the picture. Due to the different penetrating power of color particles, the halo effect brings abstract, dreamy and ethereal feelings, which makes people have endless reverie.

2. Folding: Tie-dyeing is carried out by sewing, folding and binding, which will wrinkle the fabric. In the process of dyeing, dyes may or may not be attached, and the result is colorful, complicated and meaningful. Wrinkles are produced in the process of tie-dyeing. Wrinkles formed by different stitches and wrinkles are staggered on the fabric surface, forming a unique texture.

3. Relief feeling: The relief feeling of tie-dyeing is also produced in the production process, and it is accompanied by wrinkles. When the folds are gone, the sense of relief disappears. In the production process, due to the high temperature during binding and dyeing, some dots and faces still have bulges after stitches are taken out, and they are carefully carved on smooth fabrics like reliefs, so that the patterns have a three-dimensional effect. These slightly raised patterns like reliefs show subtle color changes and richer color levels under different light irradiation.

Third, the performance of tie-dyeing in fashion design

Tie-dyeing has a variety of anti-dyeing techniques. The principle of tie-dyeing is to bind the fabric according to certain requirements, so that the unbound parts are dyed, thus forming certain patterns and figures. There are two basic methods: needle sewing is to sew the traced pattern along the contour line with a needle and thread. Generally speaking, the outline of the template should not be too complicated, and the outline of a basic template should be sewn with a line, and it is not allowed to connect or knot halfway. Binding method is to directly bind and dye part or whole fabric with thread, which has the characteristics of fast production speed, natural halo effect, rough or abstract image and so on.

Whether the tie-dyeing technology is used properly affects the style of modern tie-dyeing clothing. Every dress has its own emphasis in design. Similarly, the design of tie-dyed clothing should focus on the ever-changing fabric colors and patterns, so the design changes should not be too complicated. Overexaggerated design and cumbersome clothing structure techniques are not only difficult to show on the fabric of tie-dyed clothing, but also take the lead. Nowadays, tie-dyed clothes are tie-dyed with clothes instead of fabrics. Too many tie parting lines will affect the uniformity and stability of dyeing effect and increase the difficulty of knotting. In order to satisfy the aesthetic taste of modern people, modern tie-dyed clothing weakens some national styles. Jumped out of the fixed and stylized form of traditional tie-dye pattern design, chose abstract geometric mystery, single irregular pattern or gradual simple and indifferent style in tie-dye pattern.

Tie-dyeing is generally divided into monochromatic dyeing and polychromatic dyeing. Monochrome dyeing refers to one-time dyeing with the prepared dye color. Monochrome dyeing is simple and easy to master in operation technology. Multicolor dyeing refers to dyeing the fabric for many times to make it show rich and colorful effects.

Fourth, summary.

Tie-dyeing is based on application from the beginning and has different applications in different times. As a traditional craft that has been circulating for nearly two thousand years, it must be combined with the times to get a new life. This is the reality and necessity of historical development, and we cannot deny it. But we should also see that tie-dyeing as a traditional handicraft also has its modern value, which plays an irreplaceable role in humanistic spirit, emotional sustenance and enlightenment to modern design. Today, when national design is advocated, it is of practical significance. At the same time, it changes the present situation of single variety and weak fashion sense of tie-dyed clothing, designs modern tie-dyed clothing with the charm of tie-dyed handwork and can enter the market for competitive sales, and develops and expands the tie-dyed clothing industry.
