현대 패션에 나타난 한국과 인도 전통 문양 비교

Abstract

In the 21st modern Century’s fashion, global designers have increasingly more interest in Asian tradition and are reconstructing and applying traditional dress and patterns as fashion materials. On the basis of the literature and materials from museums, this study investigated the traditional patterns for the Korea and for the 17th to 19th India to compare their types of symbols and compared design materials, which were reconstructions of Korean and Indian traditional patterns, in terms of modern fashion on the basis of four global collections for 2000. Symbols could be interpreted through patterns found in the nature, culture, and life styles of each country, and those patterns signifying a happy life of human beings and the nature were used for the ideological background in each country. Korean traditional fabrics had lots of plant patterns, along with animal patterns in pursuit of the symbol of the status and human power, while Indian traditional fabrics principally had patterns of nature, which is personified and worshiped in the country. For modern fashion, there were more reconstructions of Indian traditional patterns than those of Korean traditional patterns; it was found that the former have long attracted attention. Therefore, at this time when the Korean Waves (Hallyu) are getting more global attention, efforts should be made to spread and reconstruct Korean traditional images and patterns into modern ones, with continuous attention to culture of Korean traditional patterns and images.
