Summary: | 碩士 === 實踐大學 === 時尚與媒體設計研究所 === 102 === In the age of information explosion, the same set of images may not only generate various meanings in different social and cultural contexts, but be interpreted diversely by individuals coming from the same society or culture group. It is almost impossible to analyse each image separately because of the overwhelming amount of images. Also, some images and information may be ignored and disappear in history because they don’t meet the expectation of mainstream audience. In this context, in order to satisfy audience efficiently, on the one hand, images tend to be created with dramatic visual effects, rather than with profound meaning; on the other hand, audience are apt to swallow a considerable number of images and given no time to digest the subtle meaning hiding in them. This creation thesis is a reaction to the phenomenon mentioned above. By focusing on the dialectic relationship between clothing and the image of clothing/ fashion, I attempted to discuss the multiple meaning of images and the delicate relationship between audience and producers. Through this experimental project, I started from my observation of the current society and tried to delineate the layered denotation and connotation generating from the creation of clothing and the creation of images of clothing.
