알렉산더 맥퀸의 투명성 패션 디자인에 대한 미적 고찰

Abstract

The concept of transparency appeared from attempting the introduction of a new space conceptfrom the cubism and was used as a way to express the space in the architecture and has beenaccepted experimentally based on the diversity of material in the art. The transparency isrevealed by the material reacting to the light in the fashion, at this time, the transparencydesign is expressed by the visual state of transparency, translucency, opacity, contrast oftransparency and opacity; the purpose of study is to draw the aesthetic feature of thetransparency design by Alexander McQueen based on the visual-perceptive feature of thistransparency. The reason for choosing Alexander McQueen in choosing the case was because theexperimentation of material was excellent in the McQueen’s design because the transparencywas based on the property of the material. The literature study and the case study were carriedout at the same time. As for the concrete study, first, the foundation of study was arranged bydefining the term of transparency and considering the feature of transparency focusing on theliterature in the formative art field. Second, among 1771 works announced from 1994f/w~2010s/s, female clothes by Alexander McQueen RTW(Rady to Wear), 472 works judged tobe the transparency fashion were collected through www.vogue.com and they were analyzed inorder of the silhouette and item, color and color contrast, material and texture, and expressionmethod focusing on the 357 secondary materials classified by the expert verification. As a result,in McQueen’s transparency design, the optical illusion, revealing function, overlapping, effect ofexpressing the color delicately, and gravity-free feeling appeared in terms of visibility ofmaterial. And in terms of transparency of opacity, it was expressed as the opacity by reflectionof light, operational transparency that the modern technology was reflected in the invisiblematerial, and aesthetic expansion of the material. The aesthetic feature of sensuality, fantasy,romance, amusement, aboriginality appeared. It was confirmed through this study that McQueencreated a new image by means of the transparency and by analyzing the tradition, history, raceof the attire, emphasizing the contrast in the process of recombination, and reconstituting theconcept of complete opposite. It is significant in having contributed to the expansion of the newaesthetic possibility against the existing beauty and the expansion of transparency design to theoriginative design based on the indulgence in a transparent new material.
