Thus, usingethnic elements in creative fashion design has begun to get a lot of attention and alreadybecome a hot topic in contemporary fashion design. Now, the design practice of this aspectis more, but the summary of systemic theories and design methods is less. This paper triesto study this to form the valuable research results. In this paper, there were200excellentinnovative fashion design cases with using ethnic elements selected as representativesamples. They were divided into10groups in accordance with their ethnic flavor andcollcated with the collection of traditional ethnic elements of corresponding country orregion with explanation. On this basis, through the questionnaire survey, obtained theevaluvation that each design element, such as pattern, color, silhouette, decorative detailsand fabrics elements, contributed to the ethnic flavor of sample measured by assignmentyardstick.

Use simple correlation analysis to study the relationship among design elements, and get the interrelationship of these elements. In addition,analyse and summarize the general application way while using pattern, color, silhouette,decorative details and fabrics elements to display ethnic style. Studied the classificationstatus of design elements collocation of every case through cluster analysis, and thensummarized11kinds of systemic and measurable design methods. Later, invited somepeople to make use of11kinds of design methods combined with general design theoriesabout how to express ethnic flavor aimed at each design element to do simulative designand give a general evaluation, advantage, shortcoming and advice. Finally, the researchresults of this paper obtained a positive evaluation and confirmation, it has some practicalvalue.
