Abstract:
This
thesis
first
researches
and
studies
modern
Japanese
architectural
style
and
Japanese
aesthetic
in
design,
in
addition
to
the
evaluation
of
the
Japanese
influence
on
Fashion
Design.
It
will
reveal
how
modern
architecture
in
Japan
has
inspired
me,
and
will
ultimately
provide
a
complete
understanding
of
how
simple,
understated,
well-constructed
clothing,
can
be
a
major
important
dimension
for
fashion
heading
into
the
next
decade.
The
aesthetic
of
Japanese
architects
has
enormously
influenced
extraordinary
buildings,
such
as
the
Bank
of
China
in
Hong
Kong
and
the
glass
pyramid
in
front
of
the
Louvre
in
Paris
(both
designed
by
I.M.Pei).
The
purity
and
harmony
of
these
architectural
edifices
has
decidedly
influenced
the
world
on
simplicity
and
quality;
this
thesis
will
clearly
reveal
how
fashion
itself
can
also
be
pure
and
simple,
but
at
the
same
time,
directional
and
influential.
