Abstract
One of the crucial and fundamental sources for inspiration for artistic and design work in the various branches of the arts is the natural world. In the field of ready-made garments, the natural environment plays a major role as a rich source of inspiration for wonderful clothing designs, where nature can be relied upon to draw inspiration for the lines, colors and texture of the dress sometimes. Recent years have witnessed the convergence of science and art in creating artistic creations in various fields, and the aesthetic image of bio cells under the microscope lenses and their irregular technical and structural formations and the diversity of textures and plastic blocks of the cell as well as the harmonious and homogeneous color mixture is one of the most important stimuli for the interest of any designer, and that was a motive for the researcher to Choosing it as an inspiration for soiree dresses for women, which prompted the researcher to search for more pictures of these inspirational cells to design a group of(6) innovative designs of soiree dresses and to make a questionnaire for five design criteria, as the first design achieved the highest rate of quality.
