Analysis on the Design Characteristics of Christopher Nemeth a Leading Fashion Designer

This study aims to provide a source of inspiration to current upcycling fashion design development and fashion designers by analyzing the design characteristics of British designer Christopher Nemeth, who was active in the 1980s and 1990s. Through Nemeth’ analysis of fashion design, which presents such avant-garde and deconstructive aesthetics, we would like to present the possibility of developing a new upcycling fashion design that can show creative perspective and personality. Analysis of the characteristics of each period of his career showed that in the early 1980s, he used old fabrics and clothing as canvas, and in the early 1980s to early 1990s, he completed his style with his representative stitch, recycling and rope patterns, and genders can wear. Currently, as his work is maintained by his post-family, not only clothing products including tops and bottoms, but also accessories such as bags, belts, hats, pouches, socks, and cushion covers are being produced. As a result of analyzing the design characteristics of his work, it was found that the composition lines and materials of the unique side were recycled, the details of his artistic sensibility as if looking at artworks, and the effects of clothing accessories used in details in various locations. Overall, it was confirmed that it could be a source of inspiration for many designers recently because it was avant-garde and the use of materials and details ahead of the times stood out. Christopher Nemeth’ work presented a new design that completely reverses the existing dressing paradigm, and showed the possibility of developing various designs that fashion designers can freely find ideas in the way materials are used and ideas are expressed. Therefore, Christopher Nemeth’ design characteristics can present positive possibilities for the development of upcycling designs that recycle used clothes and materials, and confirm the feasibility of upcycling designs. In addition, Christopher Nemeth’ works remain symbolic enough to be said to be a source of design, and are expected to exert a deep influence in the future.
