時尚產業炫麗引人注目的外表，無意的掩飾了服裝設計背後之創作過程轉化發展與設計元素，尤其時尚創作者未明確的表達實際創作過程，而經常被非服裝創作者忽略或視為單憑直覺的產物。服裝設計的過程是真的憑直覺嗎？或是一種需經創作轉化的過程。 本文以三位臺灣新生代服裝設計創作者為研究對象，配合文獻研究做深入探討，經研究結果顯示，服裝設計創作者常忽略了創作設計轉化之過程紀錄，僅重視最後結果。本文試圖將設計理論與創作實驗之過程探討，說明創作設計實驗過程中，概念、材料、技術皆與服裝設計具有相輔相成之關聯性，以提供服裝設計創作者之創作過程轉化模式。

The glamorous and glittering façade of the fashion industry had often been deceptive of the research, development and craftsmanship that go on behind the scenes. As fashion practitioners had seldom articulated their design process, it had often been deemed as intuitive by non-practitioners. Is the design process truly intuitive or is it a systematic process which is executed with thorough consideration? The objectives of this paper are to explore the fashion designer’s process, to review existing literature written on the fashion practitioner’s process and to investigated the different approaches to the design process. The findings of this research indicate that there is a lack of fashion design literature rooted in the practitioner’s perspective. As most authors of existing literature have no experience as practitioners, they tend to focus on the end products rather then the development of the design process. Using the works of three budding Taiwanese fashion practitioners as case studies, this research investigates the design rationale and process involved in the creation of a fashion collection thus providing accurate first hand data. This paper seeks to make a contribution towards existing knowledge about the fashion practitioner’s process. It illustrates that the design process is a systematic evolution of ideas and experiments, which includes a critical relationship between concept, material, technique and design.
