Abstract:
The patterns in the Hundred Birds Garment of the Miao ethnic group have a variety of shapes, exquisite craftsmanship, and deep cultural heritage, but their innovative application in the field of women's boot design is relatively rare. This article adopted statistical analysis to select the “combination pattern” as the derivative object from the Hundred Birds Garment. Its initial shape was extracted by means of decomposition, reconstruction and simplified design, and the shape was further reconstructed by means of innovative design such as distortion and combination. Finally, a variety of innovative patterns were extended. Combining with the purchase demand of modern female consumers, the innovative patterns were applied to the design of women's leather boots, so as to enrich the design system of shoes and boots products and provide an effective way for the development and inheritance of Miao traditional culture.
