Philosophy of the Costume Image

Abstract

The article analyzes the problem of costume artistry as a material integrity, a subject of practical and everyday reality. The distinction of costume images and their correlation on the basis of belonging to artistry is investigated. Artistry can be seen in any garment, it is there, but not always predominant. Based on the notions of "thing" and "object", the author considers costume in relation to reality and aesthetics in traditional culture; fashion and art in modern culture. Presented is a comparative table of possible correlation of artistic and nonartistic in the image of costume and changes in this correlation in different cultures - traditional and modern. The specific character of costume on three levels of art image: conception, work and perception. The conception of ethnic costume does not belong to a single author, it is formed by customs, norms of social consciousness, unlike the fashionable universal costume, which is designed by modern designers. The works of costume have different forms of existence in reality and in art. The perception of traditional and fashionable costume may not coincide with the idea: a nonartistic image can be perceived as artistic, and artistically conceived as nonartistic. A promising vector for the development of the modern fashion universal image is presented.
