Abstract

Traditional Chinese embroidery, as an important form of intangible cultural heritage, carries profound aesthetic and cultural significance. Hebei embroidery, with its regional features, symbolic motifs, and vibrant color schemes, provides rich resources for contemporary fashion design. This study explores the classification, symbolic meanings, and visual grammar of Hebei embroidery patterns, and proposes an integrated design strategy to adapt these motifs into modern clothing. Combining field research, image analysis, and design practice, the study develops a transformation model from cultural semantics to design application. Through a fashion design collection, the research validates the feasibility of pattern integration in modern wear, revealing the value of Hebei embroidery in cultural translation, design education, and creative industry development.
