Abstract
The emergence of the “New Chinese style” heralds changes in lifestyle and consumption habits. Exploring the symbolization of it helps to expand the idea and role of design under today’s fashion system. In this research, through the intervention of creative AI tools and participatory design, we investigate how to help designers develop New Chinese styles of fashion and symbols effectively. As a result, the typical symbolic keywords of New Chinese style clothing mainly affected leading designers’ decision-making. We further discuss the intervention of AI tools as if it could provide more involvement and initiative in design education. Based on the interview and questionnaire, the typical semiotics keywords of New Chinese clothing analyzed in this study have a good leading and guiding role for both teams of designers. The use of AI tools in the design process, on the one hand, provides designers with more inspiration for creative design solutions. On the other hand, it accelerates the designers’ efficiency from the creative process to the final creative design solutions. Furthermore, in the context of the meta-universe, the intervention of AI tools may help learners understand their ideas through visible proposals. We look forward to deepening this research in the future and exploring the possibility of involving learners from non-design backgrounds.
