Abstract

Fashion design is often understood as one of design’s subfields that lacks critical reflection on its domain-specific situation. Research on fashion design practice has either simply adopted research results from design studies or been overshadowed by its social and cultural implications from fashion studies. This paper questions this overgeneralization of design, especially the practice of design. For this inquiry, distinctive features of fashion design’s dressmaking practice are presented via a theoretical sampling of the literature on fashion design and design practice. Grounded theory was employed to construct a theory on dressmaking practice based on empirical data gathered from the fashion design profession.

摘要

时装设计通常被理解为设计的子领域之一，对特定领域的情况缺乏严格的反思。时装设计实践研究要么只是采用设计研究的研究结果，要么被时装研究对社会和文化的影响所掩盖。本文对这种过度概括的设计，尤其是设计实践提出了质疑。在本次调查中，通过对时装设计和设计实践文献的理论抽样，展示了时装设计的制衣实践的鲜明特征。扎根理论被用来基于从时装设计专业中收集的经验数据来构建有关制衣实践的理论。
