| Research Abstract |
In order to construct a theory of imitation in costume fashion, it is necessary to integrate several structural analyses of the fashion phenomenon in terms of time and place. This is because the media and the systems that cultivate imitation differ by specific temporal and geographical social structures, economic modalities, or political cultures. In the European Middle Ages, costume patterns were propagated by means of feasts and literary exchanges among courts, and in 17th century France, where physical representation was embedded in the social order, many documents on manners supported fashion. The manner in which merchants treated fashion in the second half of the 18th century led to the double meaning of modern fashion, in that the merchant was a precursor of haute couture design and the large-scale, retail department store. In the 19th century, a deviation in the costumes of men and women was created; although it is paradoxical to say that this change promoted cross-dressing, it is part of the background of early feminist thought. In modern Japan, in comparison, the diffusion of Western formal dress and the acceptance of Western culture were political phenomena that related to the formulation of the modern nation. In the 20th century, when the adjacency of art and fashion was encouraged, imitation and citation as design sources were employed to spur creativity.
