Application of Design Thinking Techniques in Fashion Design
British Fashion Design Collected Works Trainer Liao: Fashion design refers to the process of conceiving a garment production plan and making the idea materialized by means of materials, tailoring and production. There are two key words in this concept: "conception" and "materialization". From this point of view, clothing is "conceived" and "made".
In fashion design, the most important and confusing thing is the designer's thinking. The evolution of clothing is the result of designers' thinking. If the designer can't think out or doesn't know how to think, then how can design exist? Therefore, design thinking is a very important point in fashion design for art students studying abroad.
There are three common thinking techniques:
Mindmap Training
Hetian Thinking Training (12 1)
Seven why analysis (5W2H)
Today we will analyze these three techniques one by one.

Mindmap Training
What Mindmap mind map
(Example of mind map)
Mindmap is a British scholar Tony A tool invented by T. Buzan to help people think.
He believes that the ecological structure of human brain nerve cells is similar to the ecological structure of many plants in nature, presenting a radioactive biological structure, just like the state of branches and trunks of trees, and growing from one point to all around.

How - The production of mind map mainly involves three links: trunk/branch/branch
(Example of mind map)
01/Backbone
Write or draw a theme in the center of a piece of paper, and make radioactive association from the theme, and draw a number of curved and strong main lines around according to the association results. The theme text or graphics must be eye-catching. The thick main lines are best painted with a variety of colors, one color represents one content of thinking.
02/Branch
Mark the key words (or graphics) of each association result with words on each trunk, and then make radioactive association with each key word and draw multiple radial branches. Keyword is the content associated with the theme and related to the theme. It can only be marked with words, words or graphics, not sentences. Once the central figure is determined, the paper cannot be rotated at will.
03/Branch
On each branch, use new keywords to associate radiation, draw multiple radioactive branches, and mark keywords on each branch.

Tips of three production links:
Trunks, branches and branches are the basic three levels of mind mapping. The trend of lines is like the growth state of branches, showing a radial shape from thick to thin and from few to many.
If necessary, you can continue to "grow" your thinking in the same way, and draw the fourth and fifth levels until the paper is full.
As far as the flexibility of mind map is concerned, it is generally possible to complete a mind map by drawing the second and third levels, then change a new theme and draw another mindmap until the problems encountered are solved.
(Example of mind map)
How - How to use mind mapping:
Among the numerous keywords, select valuable keywords, connect and combine them at will, conceive the story scenarios (characters, time, place, occasion, event, environment, etc.) that will occur after the combination, and express creative imagination.
In the free connection and collision of many keywords, abstract thinking will naturally transform into image thinking, and the inspiration spark of design will burst out from time to time.

Hetian thinking training (12 1) checklist method
Named by the inventor Osborne, it guides the subject to think about 9 aspects (75 questions) in the process of creation. Its core vocabulary is: improvement. The method of improving existing products and ideas to generate ideas.

12 ones (upgraded checklist method)
Hetian training is also called "12 1 Hetian thinking training method", which is refined and summarized by Chinese scholars Xu Liyan, Zhang Fukui and teachers of Shanghai Hetian Road Primary School on the basis of the research of "checklist method" by American scholar Osborne, who is known as the "father of creativity".
Hetian thinking method is a kind of thinking technique that is helpful for invention and creation, and is very helpful for the development and design of new products. It is a thinking method that garment designers need to understand and master.

What - 12 1's
Hetian's method of thinking has improved the 9 categories and 75 questions in the checklist method to highly concentrate, and extracted the "12 ones" that are convenient for memory and use, namely: add add, subtract subtract, expand expand, shrink shrink, change change, change change, learn learn, replace generation, link link, move move, reverse reverse, group group.
Does it sound foggy? You can see from a picture:
(Example of Hetian Thinking Method)
The operation method of How Hetian thinking method is as follows
(1) First select an object to be improved and draw it in the middle of the paper. (2) Put the printed thought list beside, draw 12 areas for this "object to be improved", use the thought list to ask questions from multiple angles, and record the new ideas generated in the form of pictures and texts. (3) These new ideas should be screened and further considered to improve new ideas and form new bills.
(Example of Hetian Thinking Method)
Seven why analysis (5W2H)
The 5W2H analysis method (also known as the Seven Ho analysis method) is one of the most typical, effective and easy to learn thinking techniques in question analysis training.
It is a thinking technique pioneered by the U.S. Army Weapons Repair Department during the Second World War, and later widely used in enterprise management decision-making, design and invention and other fields. It is very helpful for the implementation of activities and measures in enterprise management and the in-depth thinking of design and invention, and helps to make up for omissions when considering problems.

(The first three are basic questions and the last four are subsidiary questions)
Why - Why? Why do you do this? Why? Why?
What -- what is it? What is the purpose? What do you do?
Where - Where? Where to do it? Where to start?
When - When? When will it be finished? What's the best time?
Who -- who? Who will take the responsibility? Who will complete it? Who is in charge?
How -- How? How to improve efficiency? How to implement? How about the method?
How much? To what extent? How about the quantity? What is the quality level? How about the cost output?
Vintage Fashion by Dior UK Vogue 1967
As far as clothing design is concerned, if it is basic design training or creative clothing design, it generally only involves three basic questions: why, what and how to do it. If it is clothing product planning or product design, it must involve all seven aspects.
This is because product design must involve consumers who are the users and wearers of clothing. Who are they? When is it used? Where to wear it? What's the price? These problems are what designers must consider and explore.
Making good use of these techniques can help us to think in garment design, find problems step by step, and solve problems.
