However, when the Communists came to power in China in 1949, Chinese society was changed as a whole (39) • All relations with other countries ceased and no information was allowed to be sent out of China. Thus, the western world had no knowledge of the conditions and activi­ ties within the People's Republic of China nor did the Chinese people have knowledge of happenings outside.their country. In 1972, Mainland China opened her door which had been closed for 23 years. In 1975, the enormously popular tour­ ing exhibition of Chinese Art was presented by the People's Republic of China. This exhibition delighted viewers in the western hemisphere with Chinese objects rarely seen outside of China (37). After a lapse of 30 years and ex­ change visits by high ranking officers of the United States, diplomatic relations between the two countries were estab­ lished on January 1, 1980 (56). China is again the focus of the design world. Chinese motifs, clothing and art have 1 2 entered the market place through a new influx of Chinese goods and their resulting inspiration to western designers ( 37) • Through the years a number of famous designers have incorporated Chinese design details in their collections. Traces of Chinese influence have been observed in fashions of the following designers: Yves Saint Laurent, Bill Blass, Giorgio Armanis, Charlotte Ford, Donald Brooks, Valentino, Chanel, Osca De La Renta, Piere Cardin, David Chow and Phyllis Sues (57), Numerous examples indicate how Chinese culture has ~· been the source of inspiration for western design and how traditional Chinese design details have been utilized in the fashion field for a long period of time~ A review of literature revealed that little research has been conducted relative to the incorporation of ancient Chinese costume details in contemporary western apparel. Also,.histories including descriptive and illustrative information of the design details of Chinese dress are not easily available. The utilization of only a few Chinese design details such as the mandarin collar, frog closure, quilted jacket and asyrnetrical lapel by those designers who have incor- porated Chinese ideas in their apparel designs was due no doubt to limited availability of historical records and reported research relative to Chinese costume. However, 3 with China's 5,000 year old culture, civilization and successive dynasties, thousands of costume styles and ideas are available for utilization in contemporary ~ppa~el design. Thus, the primary objective of this study is to in­ vestigate and demonstrate the adaptation of additional Chinese design details to contemporary fashion apparel. Information gained from this study would be beneficial to apparel manufactures, designers and persons involved in academic pursuits by revealing an expanded source of inspi­ ration gained from the endless number of Chinese details available for adaptation to current fashion, Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate typical Chinese design ideas, motifs, embroidery techniques and their adaptation to contemporary apparel designsp The specific objectives were: 1. To conduct a historical survey of ancient Chinese motifs, embroidery techniques, styles, special design details and style changes according to successive Chines dynasties. 2. To design and illustrate contemporary western apparel utilizing Chinese design detail through fashion sketches. 4 3. To select and translate into actual garments six of the ap_parel designs illustrating the adaptation of Chinese design details to contemporary western apparel. Review of Literature Literature that was related to different cultures, countries, textile design adaptation and apparel inspira­ tion was reviewed. Harris (18) studied the art expressions of a number of countries in order to incorporate their historical tradi~ tions into creative textile designs. After a historical review of eight visual traditions in art, symbols and motifs were selected for adaptation into textile designs. Eight different processes for applying designs to fabric~ were utilized in creating original textiles. After study­ ing the various art expressions of a number of countries and creating and producing original textile designs, Harris concluded that the desire for artistic expression exists among all peoples of the world. Clark (10) utilized early historical Hawaiian costumes, fabrics, island flora and fauna ideas as inspiration sources to create modern fabrics and modern apparel designs for women. The geographical location, historical background and sociological conditions, which prevailed in early Hawaii 5 were studied in order to understand and appreciate the Hawaiian people. Sources of inspiration gained from the costumes, fabrics, artifacts flora and fauna of Hawaii were investigated also. Twelve representative sources were chosen as inspira­ tional materials~ Six of them were used as inspiration for fabric designs and six for apparel designs. Six original fabric designs were created and achieved by using stencil­ ing, block printing, batik printing and silk screen print­ ing processes. Clark also created and sketched six origi­ nal designs for modern women's dresses based on inspiration from source materials. Two of the illustrated dress designs incorporated two of the created fabric designs, thus demon­ strating the utilization of Hawaiian artifacts and garments as inspirational sources for modern day dress. Haden (17) investigated the ancient Peruvian textile designs, motifs and colors in order to adapt them to speci­ fic purposes of modern fabric designs.

  • THE RAINBOW FLAG of the INCAS by Gustav Tracchia
    THE RAINBOW FLAG OF THE INCAS by Gustav Tracchia PROLOGUE: The people of this pre-Columbian culture that flourished in the mid- Andes region of South America (known as The Empire of The Incas) called their realm: Tawantinsuyo, meaning the four corners. The word INCA is Quechua for Lord or King and was attached to the name of the ruler e.g., Huascar Inca or Huayna Capac Inca. In Quechua, the official language of the empire; Suyo is corner and Tawa, number four. Ntin is the way to form the plural. Fig. 1 Map of the Tawantinsuyo Wikipedia, (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/file:inca expansion.png) 1 Gustav Tracchia The "four corners" or suyos radiated from the capital, Cuzco: - Chincasuyo: Northwest Peru, present day Ecuador and the tip of Southern Colombia. - Contisuyo: nearest to Cuzco, south-central within the area of modern Peru. - Antisuyo: almost as long as Chincansuyo but on the eastern side of the Andes, from northern Peru to parts of upper eastern Bolivia. - Collasuyo: Southwest: all of western Bolivia, northern Chile and northwest of Argentina. Fig. 2 Cobo, Historia, schematic division of the four suyos 2 The Rainbow Flag of the Incas Fig. 3 Map of Tawantinsuyo, overlapping present day South American political division. ()www.geocities.com/Tropics/beach/2523/maps/perutawan1.html To simplify, I am going to call this still mysterious pre-Columbian kingdom, not Tawantinsuyo, but the "Empire of the Incas" or "The Inca Empire." I am also going to refer to events related to the culture of the Incas as "Incasic" or "Incan".

It has been accepted for inclusion in VRA ulB letin by an authorized editor of VRA Online. Costume Core: Metadata for Historic Clothing Abstract Artifacts of historic clothing are found in museums, archives, and even libraries all over the world, along with fashion illustrations, photographs, and other related materials. Where collection managers follow existing standards, they often interpret them in different ways, and need specific guidelines for greater cross-collection consistency. To better represent significant aspects of historic clothing, catalogers must collect additional metadata. Defining and populating granular fields will allow records to be sorted and filtered in ways specific to the needs of costume history researchers and can even enable the use of visual search tools. Experiments along these lines have led to the development of Costume Core: an application profile to provide guidance for using existing metadata schemas and controlled vocabularies to fill in the gaps with added metadata elements and vocabulary terms. Costume Core can be used not only in the development of new digital collections, but also to remediate existing datasets.

  • Traditional Chinese Clothing Information
    TRADITIONAL CHINESE CLOTHING INFORMATION Traditional Chinese clothes were an evolution of their long, loose, straight-cut jackets and pants or gowns. The Hanfu, Zhongshan suit (Mao suit), Tang suit, and cheongsam (qipao) are the four most distinctive types of traditional Chinese clothing. The Hanfu ('Han clothing' — the. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the suit became a symbol of proletarian unity and was regularly worn by Communist party cadres until the s when the Western business suit largely replaced it. The specific hat knob on one's hat determined one's rank,as there were twelve types of hat knobs representing the nine distinctive ranks of the civil or military position. Other Types Traditional Manchu Clothing: It is the traditional dress of the Manchu ethnic nationality, usually in the form of long gown and sometimes with a jacket or waistcoat outside. In the s, the cheongsam changed with the influence of Western styles. Hanfu The Hanfu 'Han clothing' — the majority of Chinese are of Han ethnicity is the oldest of China's traditional clothes. White was worn when mourning and red was worn to show joy and happiness. In later years, linen, cotton, and silk were the prominent materials. China has many ethnic groups with a long history while Han people dominate most periods in history. It is suitable for wearing all the year round for both young and elderly group. Adapted from Japanese student wear, this style of dress became known as the Zhongshan suit Zhongshan being one of Sun Yat-sen's given names in Chinese.
