Headdresses in 2010 S/S-2015 S/S Paris haute couture collections were analyzed in the following categories: years, season, brand, type, color, material, and image. The types of headdresses were categorized as hat, hood, decorative or complex types. The hat type was elegant with a modern style, and coexisted with an exaggerated avant garde style. The hood type wrapped around the head with many examples having a distinctive sculpture on top of the knot. The decorative type varied dramatically in form and materials. The complex type was a blend of all the other types with the designer's individuality being outstanding. The characteristics of headdresses were revealed first, as an enlargement of the materials category, second, as an expression of dramatic forms, and third, as complete coordination of the creative fashion image. The headdresses illustrate the designer's creativity in producing a variety of images. Henceforth they will be important as fashion items and independent designs in fashion styling.

Marcel Breuer is considered one of the most important furniture designers of the 20th century. He studied at the Bauhaus in Weimar from 1920 to 1924 and in 1925 became master of the furniture studio at the Bauhaus in Dessau. Virtually from the outset, he was one of the most prolific and inventive designers at the bauhaus and fulfilled its claim to create designs for serial production. Gropius, the Bauhaus founder, had a profound influence on his furniture designs. In 1925, Breuer created the tubular-steel armchair, which revolutionized design and technique in the field, marking the advent of a new era. The furniture that was developed, by him and by others, from this design - technically cool, but light, elegant and clear - became the very symbol of modernism. Despite the success of his tubular-steel furniture, Breuer went on to explore the use of other new materials, such as aluminium and plywood. He made use of these new materials, which were associated with new technologies, to create new forms, as it were, some which proved to be foreunners of later developments in furniture design. Breuer had a profound influence on the evolution of modern design through his furniture designs, which received worldwide recognition and acclaim. His work unified functionality and beauty in a way that was to become a valid expression of its time and simultaneously far ahead of it.

The Trend factor was related to the impressions chic, trendy, and clear but not dandy. Designs with elongated shape had a positive score for the Tradition factor and designs with curvy line had a positive score for the Trend factor. Second, American students gave visual priority to the aspects of shape such as garment type and silhouette when they evaluated the designs. Color was less important than the aspect of shape in their fashion image perception. Therefore, they categorized the designs by similarity of garment types, and then sub-categorized them by color. The meaning of Korean traditional motifs or details was not significant to American students. Third, American students showed the tendency that the more they evaluated the designs to be gorgeous or trendy, the more they liked the designs. Furthermore, they liked the designs which have a positive score for the Trend factor.

This study was performed to compare the color emotion and preference of Koreans and Chinese for a two-color combination by dyeing cotton fabric with persimmon and indigo and to establish prediction models of color preference. Nine specimens prepared by combining two different colored fabrics (persimmon and indigo) were evaluated for color emotion and preference by Korean and Chinese groups of female college students. Koreans described most specimens as natural and traditional, whereas the Chinese described them as more pleasant and elegant as well as warmer and lighter than Koreans did. The contrast tone was the most preferred combination by both groups, whereas it was perceived as more modern and less warm by Koreans. Relationships between physical color variables and color emotions were quantified; these relationships were applied to establish a prediction model of color preference with tone combination types for each group. These results could help in making the design of fashion textiles more preference- and emotion-oriented for Korean and Chinese consumers.
