Trade in many commodities, textiles share a large part of them, of which a large part of the textile is exported to sub-Saharan Africa for "black African" traditional clothing fabrics. With the increase of textile exports and the country to encourage industrial upgrading, exports of textile industry, China transition from the previous sample processing gradually into the factory with our own design team, graphic design to finished product sales of the complete industrial chain Construction of maturing, this purpose is by increasing the added value of textile products to improve profitability. With the restructuring, how to design and meet the aesthetic requirements of Black Africa has become increasingly. Therefore prominent issue of textiles, paper about black Africa traditional dress patterns to explore and research is needed by a lot of designer.Costume design aesthetic is endemic in the environment in a certain form, after it has been formed, the way was in a relatively stable from generation to generation. To understand the aesthetic needs of black Africa, the customs should the environment, cultural characteristics start, through layers of unraveling the effects found in traditional African dress patterns factor. System in the black African culture, traditional religion, mythology and other forms of consciousness occupies an important position, in a other word the spirit has played a leading role. With the development of society, carrying weapons, intruders broke into the culture of Black Africa, Black Africa's ideology and culture make some changes occurred, but the original is still the religious thinking, be put deeply by black Africans. In this paper, the conventional thinking of Africa as a black studies the main line between religion and mythology of black patterns of traditional African dress. The research ideas are as follows: First, "black Africa" was defined, geographic areas of black Africa, many countries included within the history, geography, ethnicity, spiritual beliefs and other factors, identifying their similarities and differences, especially in the aesthetic, which has its description of the identity of the argument. On the one hand through the history, geography, literature search, from the time and space to study it; the other by black Africans living in Guangzhou and to visit black African businessmen for collect research material.Secondly, demonstration of traditional religious thought in the black Africans play an important role in this ideology, the concept of black Africans is how the formation of the totem, after the formation of what will be the product of materialistic spirit, in which the tattoo of primitive is the answer to these questions is a important way. Research on tattoos, we can find dress patterns meeting with the tattoos, the original totem through the bridge connected with the clothing designs. Totem of the abstract elements often appear in the clothing patterns, paper will discuss how to use abstract methods to create totem pattern, but also how the form is applied to clothing totem among the patterns. Another dress patterns of African traditional characteristics of color harmony, that also reflect the characteristics of black Africa, an important part of clothing design, this paper will also conduct a detailed study.I hope the role of this theory to guide practice, in the final will explore how these have black African features elements applied to the designs and how to design black African traditional characteristics of the clothing, and let these patterns consistent with the black Africans of aesthetic taste, that can be accepted by black Africans, for creating a certain commercial value.
