摘要:本文透过文化的窗口，以文化之手抚摸中西方服饰脉络，剖析中西方截然不同的社会历史背景下，服饰得悄然变化。不论是古埃及古希腊文明滋养下的西方，还是自成一体源远流长的中国，人们从茹毛饮血步步进化成现在的样子，共同经历了几千年不同时空的斗转星移。岁月永远在不停地流淌，但文化的传承是亘古不变的文明延续方式。一个国家的命运，一个民族的兴衰，甚至到一个人一生的悲欢离合，总与文化的表达紧密相连。

第一部分对各自文化感染下的中西方服饰进行了总述，我们能感受到古中国封建社会中华民族的民族自信心之强大，将东方二维平面设计理念持续了千年不曾改变。那么当我将目光投向西方发展史时，随即感受到与东方截然相反的三维理念，无论是服饰的变革或是社会的变迁，都与东方差异巨大。第二部分从文化视角出发，以文化触角感悟中西方服饰结构款式，色彩面料以及装饰的各方面细节差异，涵盖地域气候，科技工艺，民族心理，信仰文化，欣赏旨趣等等文化因素。大到社会思潮，小到细碎珍珠，全方位展现了中西方服饰的魅力。第三部分是对中西方审美的深入剖析，同样从文化差异视角切入，从起源，意识，绘画以及宗教四方面展开分析，展示宽松与紧缚，工笔与雕塑，平面与立体的美。第四部分总结了服饰差异与中西方文化差异的密切联系，和对服饰文化更深更艺术性的理解。这是精神和面料的交织，力量与美的完美融合。
