Strategy Plan for Fashion Design Process Inspired from Ancient Egypt (Pyramids as a Case Study)

Abstract

Fashion designers use a variety of objects as source of inspiration to be used for a range of purposes. Anything visual can be a source of inspiration for a design. In the design process; it is important to acknowledge the design process; knowing from which angle the designer approached the task could help in identifying the designer real interest, inspirational sources and the ways those resources are used. This study was aimed to analyze fashion designs inspired from ancient Egypt in three suggested ways. First, taking the whole unit from the old civilization as it is to be used (coping). Secondly, taking some parts or elements and employ them in contemporary designs (remodeling). Thirdly, create a strategy plan to know how to read and analyze the unit and conclude the features the unit is based on (e.g. linearity, colours, shape ...etc.) to deduce a concept which upon, the design is made (used the pyramids as a case study) to gain new ideas for a new fashion in a new way.
