Restructuring Fashion in New China:A Study of the 1955 Clothing Reform Movement and Nationalized Design
The academic perception of clothing in New China has remained entrenched in the serious and rigid uniform culture.This paper aims to conduct a thorough analysis of the phenomenon of the 1955 clothing reform movement and explore the multiple factors,including political,economic,and cultural influences,that contributed to the emergence of the clothing reform movement within the unified context of new China's uniforms.By examining the public's attitudes and cor-responding behavioral responses to this movement,the paper further dissects the intricate factors behind the monotonous nature of fashion in New China.The se-lection and discussion of clothing styles reflect the societal consciousness and perspectives of that time,while the multidimensional discussions surrounding cloth-ing styles construct a top-down aesthetic exploration.Simultaneously,the paper will focus on the manifestation of localized design within this reform movement.These inquiries aim to broaden the academic understanding of the inherent concepts and impressions of Chinese fashion culture,providing a fresh perspective on interpreting the fashion culture of the New China era.
