The leading trend of new artificial fabrics after 20 years

　　Hundreds of years ago, in the northern Italian port of Genoa, sailors liked to wear working pants made of locally made coarse and strong cloth called Jean. In 1953, Levi's used this material to produce the world's first pair of jeans, which were welcomed by local miners in the United States because of their tough, strong and durable texture. As soon as Levi's company saw the ideal results, it quickly established Levi's straussandco, the main production of jeans, denim materials can really participate in the changes of the 100 year history of fashion.

　　With denim has the same legend, is chiffon, nylon and other materials we are now familiar with clothing. Because of their outstanding function, these materials which are inadvertently used in clothing have rewritten the history of fashion, innovated the clothing civilization, and enriched people's life style. One hundred years of fashion history, if we say that the first 50 years are the progress brought by tailoring, then the latter 50 years is the fashion trend dominated by materials.

　　After the 1990s, the fashion industry has entered the "artificial material era". In a short period of ten years, fashion design was almost changed into a high-tech industry. The invention of various artificial materials has changed the focus of design from cutting innovation to fabric innovation. DuPont company, which created nylon material in 1938, launched Lycra fabric; Courtaulds company produced "Tencel" soft knitted fabric, which is made of cellulose extracted from trees, it is soft and glossy, and has good air permeability as silk, cotton and other natural fabrics; there are Polartec fabrics, which are lighter, softer, warmer and do not drop down than ordinary cashmere sweaters; And Gore Tex, which is a very thin membrane that effectively prevents water penetration and, more importantly, because it has very small pores, it does not affect the air permeability at all.

　　In the continuous interaction between material and design, fashion has also entered a more rational humanistic era from the beginning of simply highlighting the scientific and technological value and scarcity of materials. More and more designers express their humanistic concern for fashion wearers by using new materials, and their emphasis on the use of materials has also shifted to the scientific and technological achievements that can bring about a sense of health, safety and comfort.

　　"Thirty years ago, men were still working in suits and hats. At that time, people were ashamed to talk about man-made fabrics because of their low price, but the lifestyle was undergoing a huge change, people needed comfort and function, which had a profound impact on men's wear. Because functional clothing is important to men, they are bigger buyers of sportswear and casual wear. " The curator of the exhibition, Sarah & A of the National Museum of Victoria, said with the curator of the exhibition, Sarah v.

　　The future fashion creation will depend more on the research and development of fabrics. Advanced textile technology not only brings beautiful visual enjoyment to the wearer, but also brings high-quality touch and health assurance. Some functional technologies, such as waterproof, antibacterial, anti UV and temperature regulation, have been applied to the post finishing stage of clothing; the designer uses three-dimensional cutting technique to make plastic material into fashion with strong sculpture feeling, which reflects the cold and tough style. Laser drilling technique is used to change the air tightness of the plastic material itself, so that it has a very comfortable wearing feeling.
