| Summary: | 碩士 === 嶺東科技大學 === 視覺傳達設計研究所 === 97 === Toy figures are very popular new stuffs recently. They don’t belong to traditional toys both in functions and models. A new classification was formed in a distinctive way. The art of toy figure which rose from street trend exists in the gray zone of fashion, art, and design which crossovers territories to cooperates with every type of industries and different designers continually. This is not only the reason that the talking points of toy figures don’t reduce, but it is also the factor that toy figures became a new medium. Crossover is a way of designing and the essence doesn’t simply across the lines, but abolished the lines.
The most famous crossover designer in fashionable trend is Rei Kawakubo. She not only cooperated with the designers of different brands, but she also made many lines blurred for the disposing and the using of fashionable dress stores. The concept - what’s business display space, what’s art display space, what’s poor, what’s rich, what’s new, and what’s old had been dispelled. This creating spirit against fashion of main stream is the basic attitude and the nuclear value of fashion. It’s just like the time when Chanel claimed that women should take off corset and skirt and then wear paints, not to be men’s decorations any more and liberated the freedom of women’s bodies. They also open a new values of fashion. And, the origin of the earliest trend figures combined of this kind of strength of rebelling and freedom seeking arose the responses of the new young generations about street fashion. At that time, the graffiti, skateboard, street dance, etc, was considered a contrary strength. However, Michael Lau used these elements to create first batch of trend figures and to probe into the living values of teenagers who live in the trend culture.
On the other side, there came out a new way of design – re-design in the product designing because those designers who have proactive thinking found out that the way of taking from the nature unlimitedly had been no more suitable in the early Industrial Revolution. Human beings were facing the coming of raw material lacking age and the appear of introspection design, like Droog Design in Netherlands, reminds human beings again and again to respect the principle of natural recurring in order to liver longer. According to Rei Kawakubo - making dressing display space with recycle materials, the author has the thought of making figures with the way of re-design and take the main concept of figures back to recurring design to make crossover designs which not only combine three different territories but they also have environmental consciousness. Those three territories are figures, fashion, and re-design which induce a triangle create method to do the integration of the creating process and for auxiliary illustration. We hope that we can bring out the basis for reflecting in the last creation of figures without just following the surface of fashion blindly. We should see the profundity of fashion and to care our environment and to love out earth with the most avant-garde and most fashionable value of design.
