Structure and Modeling“The elegant line depends primarily on the structure of purity and refinement.”（⑤Yves Saint Laurent）It reflects that the structure is very important for clothing. The structure of Chinesestyle costume is pletely planar, straight and fortable. However, the structure of Westernstyle dress is stereo split type and suitable the body. Chinese clothing modeling is closed and implicative, western clothing modeling is open and revealed. Some people also regard clothing modeling as dress design or style. In fact, modeling and style have connections and differences. Generally speaking, modeling refers to the contour of clothing, which is a big picture, such as the popularly loose Htype or tightfitting Xtype. At present, Chinese people often mix the clothing modeling and clothing style. It is the shape of clothing design, but also the bination of clothing inside sew and the decoration of detail. Traditional Chinese costumes ask the human body to be tightly wrapped by the closely collar, wide clothing, long sleeves and pants, skirts, and it seems like a pocket, the human body is inside. It is extremely closed, conservative and dull. For thousands of years, if it is not up and down separate clothing system, it is connected from top to bottom deep clothing system. Whether man39。s skirts, legs are always wrapped by leather gear, long clothing drags to the ground and inside and outside of clothes are overlapping, these are monly referred to as “triple clothing” or “Five clothing. As western dress concept advocates revealing the human body, focusing on selfexpression, and shows off the beauty of its own. Consequently, in terms of clothing style, it bees open, revealing and varied. All types of bare, open styles are still the mainstream of westernstyle clothing, all kinds of large collar, Vneck, short sleeve and waistcoat sleeves are frequently used. Women are fond of choosing those thin and transparent materials which are graceful and elegant，beautifully wrought. When wearing them, as if your body is wrapped by gauzes, and you are wonderful and charming. Westernstyle modeling is particular about nudity besides concealment. They have a variety of wrapstyle clothing, but their clothing is different from Chinese clothing. Tight westernstyle clothing is the style of threedimensional and narrow, clothing closes to the human body, can absolutely show the bodily curves and can fully reveal the beauty of human body. As Lu Xun said: ＂The concealment is sometimes more attractive than the nudity, it is concealment and stimulation, concealment and obstacles will have the wonderful and unpredictable psychological effect.＂So westernstyle dress modeling belongs to two forms of the same subject.3 AN ANALYSIS OF CHINESE AND WESTERN DRESS CULTURE Geographical environmentThe geographical environment is one of the main reasons why these differences are formed. As we all known, western civilization originates from the Aegean Sea. But, the main development is in the Mediterranean region, thus western civilization is also called as Marine civilization.

In contrast, the Chinese geographical environment is closed: The outside of east coastline without near continent and large islands, therefore, it hardly goes to sea. West and Eurasian area is almost cut by mountains, the Pamir’s and the Tibet plateau which is called the roof of the world, the only Silk Road also need pass through desolate desert and big Gobi Desert. So, it is extremely difficult for ancient Chinese people whose transport is underdeveloped to walk out. In addition, China itself has vast territory and abundant natural resources, It is not necessary to go out. This creates Chinese introverted personality. It reflects in the garment is implicit and does not appear, the human body is hidden in clothing. The historical reasonSpeaking from the historical reasons, if we took the whole European as a large group, it should turn into a history of conquests and dominations between nations as well as peoples. When a nation is powerful and occupies dominant position, its culture and reflecting the dress of the culture will have an affect on the other peoples and nations.
