Abstract: Clothing has two attributes — art and commodity. The burgeoning and unpredictable characters of fashion intensified the conflict between these two attributes. Clothing design no longer depended on the designer's personal creativity, but more related to rational analysis of fashion environment, core design elements, clothing design commercialization and other clothing commodity attributes. It required more rational guidance on clothing design and data analysis to know the discipline of clothing design better.

Key words: clothing; design; commodity property; merchandise planning
