Abstract

Technologies are changing the life of the human being. Fashion technology brings forward more and more convenience and comfort to people’s life. As the second skin, clothing plays a vital role on daily life. In aspects of art design, fashionable and colorful clothes make people obtain psychological satisfaction. From the ergonomic design, more attention was paid both on the physiological and psychological needs of the human being. For examples, the thermal physiology and compression comfort will directly have impact overall status of the health status of the human being. Especially, with development of functional fabrics and smart bio-medical sensors, functional and smart clothing has been an up-and-coming product for fashion industry and have been gradually accepted by the market. In the near future, with the changing of consumers’ consumption psychology, functional and smart clothing with fashionable design will be the mainstream of the market. Considering the fashion education system at present, fashion designers and fashion education will meet new challenges in the near future. Based on ergonomic design, innovative educations should be made accordingly. The research focused on the aspects of fashion education innovations, such as materials, clothing and accessories based on ergonomic design, which laid comprehensive foundations for functional fashion design.
