Synopsis

Western clothing is a vehicle for Western civilization and culture. For Chinese readers, it offers a small yet revealing window onto Western customs and ways of thinking. There is much we can learn from Western clothing, not only its three-dimensional use of space and body-conscious tailoring, but, more importantly, its distinctive design philosophy. Every fashion designer needs the awareness, or basic skill, to draw on the strengths of other cultures. Studying Western culture through its clothing is also an essential part of the work of social science researchers. Indeed, any development strategy requires an understanding of both ourselves and others. The History of Western Clothing serves precisely this purpose.

Looking for a Study Reading List for Original Character Creators

Looking for books like Jungian Psychology. Are there any books for OC inspiration or learning? I’m especially interested in Jungian psychology and personality typology, but feel free to recommend anything else too: religion, writing techniques, the occult, psychology, design, and so on.

Any Reference Books or Resources for Designing All Kinds of Outfits for OCs?

Looking for books like 500 Dress Designs: Evening Gowns. Historical clothing, Lolita fashion, and so on are all fine. I only picked that as an example at random, and haven't really read it. I'm just looking for something about clothing, preferably a better and more practical resource.
