Abstract
This study delves into the aesthetic characteristics of neo-deconstructionist fashion design. Three deconstructionist denim brands are selected for analysis to explore the expressive methods and techniques within their designs. Through an examination of previous studies, it is concluded that the aesthetic characteristics of neo-deconstructionism encompass diversity, fun, pursuit of new experiences and communication. The playfulness of this movement manifests in the ironic metaphors of irregular designs and experimental patterns. It utilizes fashion as a medium to convey positive messages and establishes both spiritual and visual communication with people, thus inspiring them to reevaluate themselves and the society and to pursue new experiences from the diversity of Neo-Deconstructivist fashion aesthetics. As a result of this study, four fashion designs were created, with two of them being produced. The findings of this study can serve as fundamental data for the development of neo-deconstructivist denim fashion design and offer extensive inspiration for the creativity in denim design.
