| From ancient times to the present,Chinese and Western research on inspiration has enriched increasingly and the coverage scope of which is not limited to the academic community,but also reflected in the creative activities,which is expressed often in the form of theory guiding practice.As a strong theoretical basis,the inspiration in academic study has become the soul guidance for all kinds of artistic creativity.In the fashion design process,what the designer firstly needs to focus on is the source of inspiration.As the first step in design,inspiration dominates the overall design direction.From this we can see the importance of fashion inspiration and people have never stopped the exploration for it.Since ancient times,there are many works written about the related content of the source of inspiration.In theory,we find that more of them focused on the exploration for the inspiration history,staying more on the description of its origin and the evolution.In the design practice,the description for the fashion inspiration was matched with the relevant pictures and more were scattered and plain especially for the classification of the fashion inspiration which was comparatively rather less and couldn’t reach the height of expounding it thoroughly.Therefore,this article intends to elaborate the definition of inspiration in detail by collecting and collating the existing data,and proves the preliminary frame of inspiration in fashion design by using Analytic Hierarchy Process.We use a variety of research methods to present a comprehensive study for the classification of fashion inspiration and regularly disperse and reorganize the abstract elements of inspiration in accordance with certain classification methods.For the workers in the design industry,it will enable them to have a clearer direction in the extraction of inspiration elements and provide them with a strong theoretical backing for the smooth development of the design work.We hope that through the study for the classification of fashion inspiration,the theoretical system of inspiration will be perfected more,and at the same time it can lead to the concern and extensive research on the classification of the source of inspiration in academic community and the design field. |
