Yezhova O., Abramova O., Pashkevich K., Vasylieva O. Designing of children's stage costume using the bionic objects

Fashion, Style & Popular Culture. — 2022. — Vol. 9. — issue 3. — p. 259-271.The article is devoted to the actual problem of design-projecting of the costumes for children`s choreographic team based on bionics, using a bionic creative source. The method of analysis is used to identify the scope of the use of vegetables as a creative source during the creation of fashion collections. It has been found that designers use vegetables as the materials for making clothes; as the materials for sketching the models of the clothes; as the source of inspiration for the form, decoration, and color decision.
A figurative and stylistic analysis of the bionic creative source and the transformation of the plant images into the fashion designs of the stage costumes for children`s choreographic team have been carried out.
As a result of the analysis and the transformation of the creative source ‘Vegetables’, the models of the stage costumes for children`s choreographic team have been designed. The following principles have been used in the design of the costume, namely: imitation of bioform in separate elements of the costume; analogousness of silhouette solutions and general form of the costume to the natural bioforms; bionic design-projection with the identification of functionality and figurative and associative expressiveness of the costume. In the process of designing the collection of the children`s stage costumes, the scenario of the performance, as well as the requirements to the children's clothes and the creative source, have been considered.
