Abstract:

To discuss the application method of quasi-regular patterns with shadow effect on the fabric pattern design, a kind of new quasi-regular patterns with a unique shadow effect was obtained by adding a set of trigonometric functions to the mathematical model of quasi-regular pattern. The design theme was formed using these patterns as designing inspiration source. Then, some of these patterns were selected as design materials to make a combination design with a realistic flowers pattern, and the integral design of the apparel patterns with clothing style changes was realized to reconstruct the clothing patterns witch could fully express the design theme. The technique of digital printing for printed silk fabrics was appoied to produc the designed clothing. The methods,  therefore, were testied to be feasible.

Key words: shadow effect, quasi-regular pattern, clothing pattern, fabric printing, design method
