ABSTRACT: The program aims to combine the unique traditional costume
characteristics of China and the UK in a cross-cultural context. After two
semesters of study planning, different costume designs are created by comparing
and recreating traditional Chinese and Western costumes. The thesis is divided
into the following parts. The first part is a literature review to analyze and
compare the different characteristics of Chinese and Western traditional
costumes from a theoretical level. The second part is my personal development
and improvement plan, including improving my design thinking ability and
establishing a clothing brand. The next part is my time planning, following two
semesters to plan theoretical study and design research. Finally, through the
accumulation of theory and practice, the design project will be analyzed into a
preliminary design and a final design with the specific elaboration of the
design based on a comprehensive comparison of Chinese and British traditional
costumes.
