Aesthetic functions of zipper
March 23, 2020
The zipper is a rich and colorful form that is closely related to human life in the interaction between function and aesthetics. It has exceeded its original application form and practical function, and has both a fashion aesthetic effect. Today's zippers, while enriching their use functions, construct unique aesthetic functions. The generation process of the zipper form is a manifestation of the law of formal beauty: "Jog into a line, line to a surface". As we all know, "dot" plays the role of marking the position in space, and has the character of attention and highlighting the sight. Different positions and shapes of points and their divergence changes will cause different visual perceptions. The zipper is connected by a sliding device to double rows of interlaced dots. The dense small dots create a smooth rhythmic sense. With the change of location, the big point attracts the viewer's "eyeball". A "line" trajectory is formed, with changes in length, thickness, position, and direction. At the same time, the linear shape of the zipper flow and its flexible and flexible structural characteristics make the interface to be connected produce different shapes of faces. The "face" itself has only the nature of two-dimensional space, mainly divided into planes and curved surfaces. However, the intervention of this special element of the zipper makes the "face" more capable of forming squares, circles, triangles, polygons, and irregularities. The possibility of accidental shapes and so on.
In the clothing design with soft materials as the main body, the zipper has added the charm of modern mechanical aesthetics to the clothing. Although the new materials and technological innovations have created different textures and shapes for the zipper, the nature of its machinery cannot be replaced . The zipper has all the characteristics of a mechanical device—consisting of parts and a fixed operating mode. It is not a simple way to replace the traditional button opening and closing clothing, but to meet the needs of a fast-paced modern lifestyle. Establishing a new form of wear is a technological innovation.
