Abstract

Make-up is placed as an important medium to deliver visualized images in modern fashion shows. In particular, texture can be understood as an element of delivering implicit and strong meaning according to various cosmetic ingredients and infinite possibility of expression methods in fashion show make-up. Above all, because visual expression is very important in make-up to give perception and sensitive effects for visual delivery, a research on texture expression is very meaningful in the possibility of expanding into an image area. Thus, this study aims to analyze the characteristics of texture expression in fashion show make- up and examine expression methods for a visualized image. Study methods included theoretical review and empirical research. The scope was fashion show make-up in Paris, Milano, New York, and London collections and haute couture from 2000 S/S to 2012 F/W and the subjects were photographs which showed prominent texture elements of expression. Theoretical review was conducted by investigating the kinds and characteristics of texture in relation to make-up. Empirical research was done by examining and analyzing the image areas of texture elements in fashion show make-up to expand the concept of image and establish objective backgrounds. The findings of the study suggest that there is great possibility that make-up according to texture and an image expands into an image area as an area of texture element.
