我国的高等服装教育是与我国当前的时装工业一起发展起来的。在这个过程中,自然有摸索与尝试,成功与失败。以往我们在教学中,比较注重基础的表现技巧和美的形式法则的训练,目的是让学生毕业后有广阔的发展余地。多年的实践证明这种方法是有效的。但是,有些问题也渐渐引起我们的思考,那就是高等院校的教育要想对社会起积极的指导作用,就必须使教学结合实际并有针对性。我国的情况与西方、日本和香港不同,如我们的社会生活中对礼服的需求量很小。但我们却有一种偏见,似乎觉得只有礼服和“艺术型”的服装才谈得上设计;只有设计礼服才能表现设计师的才思,对设计符合企业生产实际的服装不大感兴趣。 China’s higher clothing education is developed together with the current fashion industry in our country. In this process, there are naturally groping and trying, success and failure. In the past, in teaching, we paid more attention to the basic performance skills and the training of the beauty of the rules of form. The purpose is to allow students to have ample room for development after graduation. Years of practice have proved that this method is effective. However, some problems have gradually aroused our thinking. That is, if education in higher education wants to play an active guiding role in the society, we must make the teaching practice-oriented and relevant. The situation in our country is different from that in the West, Japan and Hong Kong. For example, the demand for dresses in our social life is very small. But we have a bias, it seems that only the dress and the “art-type” clothing was only talking about the design; only the design of the dress to show the designer’s talent, designed to meet the actual production of clothing is not very interested.
