Abstract

The purpose of this study is to rediscover the value of form in fashion design by developing a new perspective of design appreciation. By examining and modifying the theories of Wolfflin and Belong, this paper tries to of for a new perspective for analyzing the characteristics of form in fashion designers' works. The three new perspective, Flat & Rounded, Closed & Opened and Part & Whole, can be used to analyze the formative aesthetic character of Vionnet's and Dior's works. Ten of Vionnet's and eleven of Dior's representative works selected and applied Delong's visual priority diagram to analyze their character. Vionnet and Dior, emphasized form and construction in their design and applied geometric shapes in their works. The main differences between Vionnet and Dior is that Vionnet's work transforms from geometric shapes in 2-dimentional space to drapery shapes in 3-dimensional space, Dior's work displays geometric shapes in 3-dimensional space. Vionnet created new formative art through the relationship between the clothes and human body. Vionnet's work has distinctively different qualities depending on whether the space is 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional showing transposition of form. In 2-dimensional space, Vionnet's works consist of triangles, rectangles and circles which are 'flat' and 'closed' in quality. These transform to solid forms by draping bias fabrics, which have a 'rounded' and 'open' quality. Dior tended to show artificial form rather than the natural lines of the body which is very different with Vionnet. Dior created clothes by using solid geometric form such as spheres, prisms, cylinders, pyramids and cubes in 3-dimensional space, which were visualized through constructive technique such as dart manipulation, boning, gathering, tucking, pleating, shirring and layering. Dior's works have their own form which does not relate with body shape. So his Works have a 'rounded' and 'closed' quality.

이 연구의 목적은 패션디자인에서의 형태의 중요성을 이해하는 새로운 시각을 제시하는데 있다. 뵐플린과 드롱의 이론을 바탕으로 Flat St Rounded, Closed & Opened 과 Part & Whole의 세 가지 형태를 보는 시각을 가지고 Vionnet와 Dior 작품에서의 형태미를 분석하는데 적용시켜 고찰해 보았다. Vonnet와 Dior은 그들의 디자인에서 형태와 구조를 디자인의 기본원리로 하여 기하학적인 형태를 그들의 디자인에 적용시킨 디자이너들이다. Vionnet의 10작품과 Dior의 11작품을 선정해 Belong의 visual priorities diagram을 적용시켜 각 디자이너 작품의 형태미를 고찰하고 비교해 보았다. Vionnet는 의복과 인간의 신체 사이의 관계를 통해 새로운 형태미학을 창조해 냈으며 그녀의 작품은 2차원 또는 3차원이라는 공간의 차이에 따라 형태의 전위를 보여주는 독특한 형태학적 특성을 보여주고 있다 그녀의 작품은 2차원의 공간에서는 평면적이고 닫힌 형태인 삼각형, 사각형, 원으로 구성되어 있으나 바이어스 재단에 의한 입체재단 방법을 통해 3차원의 공간에서는 입체적이고 열린 형태로의 형태변형을 한다는 특징을 나타낸다. Dior의 작품은 인체의 자연스러운 형태보다는 인위적인 형태미를 보여주고 있으며 이는 Vionnet작품과의 커다란 차이점이다. Dior은 3차원의 공간에서 구, 각기둥, 원기둥, 각뿔, 입방체와 같은 입체 기하학의 형태를 사용하여 의복의 형태를 만들어 냈고 이는 다아트 변형, 보닝, 개더, 턱, 플리츠, 셔링과 같은 구조주의적인 기술을 통해 실현되고 있다. Dior의 작품은 3차원의 공간에서 인체의 형태와는 무관한 의복 자체만의 형태를 가지고 있으며 이는 입체적이고 닫힌 형태적 특성을 가진다.
