Deconstructivism as a way of artistic and aesthetic expression in vestigial fashion

The article focuses on deconstructivism as one of the conceptual sources of postmodernist aesthetics of the last decade of the XX century, its signs and characteristics. Designers turn to deconstruction, authored by J. Derrida, in an attempt to rethink the previous experience accumulated over centuries in the field of costume. When applied to design, it is a creative method that performs the roles of both shaping and style formation. The complexity, provocativeness, and contradictory nature of postmodernist aesthetics, characteristic of the system of artistic form formation, are embodied in modern fashion largely with the help of the deconstructive method. Evolving, deconstructivism, as destroying habitual expectations and possessing inventiveness, contributes to the development of modern vestigial fashion, as evidenced by the successes of Japanese designers, as well as designers of the Belgian school. It is further defined in design as a modern design method and is actively applied.
