The purpose of this study was to examine the Detail&Trimming from 16C to 18C, so called 'the age of decoration' and how they had been applied to contemporary fashion through various collections. Then this study investigated decorative trends based on the frequency analysis. For the methods of study, using literature review, theoretical research was conducted to investigate the kinds of modern clothing accessories and analyze how they were applied to contemporary fashion and its trends. The period of empirical research was from 2000 to 2006 S/S with its focus on "Mode et Mode", a representative fashion magazine. As a result, for detail, decorative composition, surface decoration, and trimming, detail-applied decorative designs showed the highest percent.

Nail art, which has been popularized recently, has increased convenience in the direction of nail art design harmonized with clothing and the increased interest and usage of nail art decoration. This study set out to propose practical planar and three-dimensional nail art designs in harmony with modern clothes by applying trimmings common in 18th century women's clothing, which used a variety of attachable decorations. As for the methodology, the investigator examined theories in previous studies, literature, and analyzed the types of trimming in female portraits from the 18th century at the museum at the Palace of Versailles in France. Planar and three-dimensional nail art designs were created for each of the top three trimming types- braids, laces, and ribbons, which were identified through analysis. The study applied the trimmings of the 18th century women's clothes to nail art design and had the following results: First, the top three trimming types were identified based on the analysis of the 18th century portraits. They were then used as motifs in the production of planar and three-dimensional nail art designs. The results show that the motifs of the clothes trimmings were fit for and had practical possibilities for expression in nail art designs. Secondly, diversity and the expansion of ideas in the study of nail art design were promoted. In addition, elements were increased to have mutually complementary effects with clothes. Finally, the study made various attempts at nail design methods by adopting a range of nail art expression techniques including hand painting, 2D & 3D art techniques, and using planar and three-dimensional nail decorations, thus proposing a positive direction for the organization of a curriculum to make use of 18th century women's clothing motifs in nail art education.
