Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the individual and joint effects of collative design factors, complexity and novelty, on aesthetic response to apparel products; and whether the influence of these factors is moderated by consumers’ centrality of visual product aesthetics (CVPA). Design/methodology/approach A mixed factorial experimental design, using women’s tops with design complexity and novelty (high vs low) manipulated orthogonally, was conducted among 260 female participants to test the model and its corresponding hypotheses. Findings Consumers’ aesthetic response was more positive for high than low complexity and novelty apparel designs. Further, when viewed in combination, high complexity + low novelty and low complexity + high novelty apparel designs were favored over high complexity + high novelty and low complexity + low novelty apparel designs, respectively. High CVPA consumers were more distinguishing than low CVPA consumers with respect to novelty in apparel designs. Practical implications This study suggests that firms need to be aware that complexity and novelty are crucial for consumers when judging apparel designs. Originality/value This study fills an important knowledge gap in the aesthetics literature by drawing on the processing fluency theory and Wundt curve and considering the joint effect of novelty and complexity, both critical determinants of a product’s marketplace success.

太新还是太复杂?为什么消费者的审美敏感度在服装设计评估中很重要

目的本文的目的是检验整理设计因素、复杂性和新颖性对服装产品的审美反应的个体和联合影响;以及这些因素的影响是否受到消费者对视觉产品美学(CVPA)的中心性的调节。设计/方法/方法 混合因子实验设计,使用具有设计复杂性和新颖性(高与低)正交操作的女性上衣,在 260 名女性参与者中进行,以测试模型及其相应的假设。结果 消费者对高复杂度和新颖的服装设计的审美反应比低复杂度和新颖的服装设计更积极。此外,当组合查看时,高复杂性+低新颖性和低复杂性+高新颖性服装设计分别优于高复杂性+高新颖性和低复杂性+低新颖性服装设计。就服装设计的新颖性而言,高 CVPA 的消费者比低 CVPA 的消费者更具特色。实际意义 这项研究表明,公司需要意识到复杂性和新颖性对于消费者在判断服装设计时至关重要。原创性/价值 本研究利用加工流畅性理论和 Wundt 曲线,并考虑新颖性和复杂性的共同影响,填补了美学文献中的一个重要知识空白,这两者都是产品市场成功的关键决定因素。就服装设计的新颖性而言,高 CVPA 的消费者比低 CVPA 的消费者更具特色。实际意义 这项研究表明,公司需要意识到复杂性和新颖性对于消费者在判断服装设计时至关重要。原创性/价值 本研究利用加工流畅性理论和 Wundt 曲线,并考虑新颖性和复杂性的共同影响,填补了美学文献中的一个重要知识空白,这两者都是产品市场成功的关键决定因素。就服装设计的新颖性而言,高 CVPA 的消费者比低 CVPA 的消费者更具特色。实际意义 这项研究表明,公司需要意识到复杂性和新颖性对于消费者在判断服装设计时至关重要。原创性/价值 本研究利用加工流畅性理论和 Wundt 曲线,并考虑新颖性和复杂性的共同影响,填补了美学文献中的一个重要知识空白,这两者都是产品市场成功的关键决定因素。
