Main Article Content
Abstract
This study focuses on exploring the aesthetic elements embodied in the feminine figures of Tang Dynasty Dunhuang murals and their transformation and inheritance in contemporary fashion design. It examines how Tang Dynasty aesthetics can engage in an ongoing dialogue with modern fashion elements within the framework of contemporary costume design, with an emphasis on feminist expression in clothing. The study also aims to address issues such as alleviating aesthetic anxiety among modern women. This exploration not only contributes to the continuous discourse on modern fashion design but also underscores the potential of historical aesthetics to enrich contemporary design narratives. The research aspires to provide a fresh perspective on cultural heritage and innovation, advocating for the global presentation of the unique charm of Chinese contemporary fashion design. In doing so, it seeks to promote the dissemination and exchange of Chinese culture in today’s interconnected world.
