The costume design project for women in semi couture Inspired by the arts of ice carving sculpture

Abstract

The costume design project for women in semi couture, inspired by the art of ice carving sculpture, aims at studying the pattern of color and texture of the ice sculptures. The models that we use as objects of study for designing the semi couture women’s costume appear in the International Ice Carving Festival in Harbin, China. From what we have studied, we analyze 3 areas, emphasizing at the physical features and overall picture of the work. The 3 areas of analysis are the formats, colors, and patterns of carvings of the theme park's ice slider and the Garden of Mythology. We use the structure of the ice shapes carved out by a truncated series structure. We use white and pink color due to their sweetness and elegance which suits our target group. We also apply the patterns, shapes, and geometric line pattern to use in embroidering and decorating geometric acrylic sheet and ornament from crystalembroidered plastic PVC. Thus, it creates uniqueness, attractiveness, novelty, and interest. In conclusion, the researchers adopts concept from the art of ice carving sculptures appeared in the International Ice Sculpture Festival in Harbin, China. We design 5 sets of semi couture women’s costumes for special occasions. We use the formats, colors, and patterns of ice carvings to create and design the dressings, in order to meet the needs as mentioned in the objectives as much as possible.
