Abstract:

Fashion designers occasionally place the tradition and traditional clothing items in their designs. This approach creates an environment that enables the discussion of the topics of fashion with traditional clothing. The statement aims to create a foundation for research on the interpretation of the tradition in fashion design, taking into account the clothing culture, the definition and content of fashion. In this context, clothing, which is formed with symbolic understanding in different geographics and develops as one of the topics of culture, will be explained under clothing culture. The concept of "moda" which is developed along with the industrial lifestyle formed in the framework of the 18th century's Industrial Revolution, will be defined as a fact and a system. The clothing culture that contains the data of the popular culture reflects the way of life of the society in which it is. There is no need for an industrial way of life. The color and shape perception that reflects the traditions in the clothing culture shaped according to the traditional life needs is clearly seen. This is how the clothing culture, which has been transmitted from generation to generation without a change for centuries, and which contains symbolic language, is formed. However, in the "moda" fact, the nature of the concept is not considered as a principle of consensus to the tradition seen in the clothing culture. For every new fashion must be the old. The conclusion of the study is that the subjects of the “cultural clothing” and the “mode” phenomenon evolved in different forms within the historical process depending on the production and way of life before and after the Industrial Revolution. According to the historical development processes, the values, scope and content of the two events will be presented with examples.
