Description
Summary:Rapidly developing digital technology is exercising influence across all fields of society. This article analyses the distinctive qualities of digital art and looks into the cases of fashion design where these qualities are expressed. To investigate the theoretical concept and characteristics of digital art, and also, to examine cases of digital art and fashion, documentary research and case studies are used. As a result, the characteristics of digital art are classified into five characteristics: perfect duplicability, interactivity, networkability, variability and compositeness. These characteristics are also found in contemporary fashion although specific forms take different ways. Fashion designers, in the same manner as artists, are not only experiencing digital influence in technology and culture, but also expressing it in their works. The further advancement of digital technology will exercise more influence on contemporary fashion in the future.
