Abstract: To explore the application of bionic methods in modern fashion design, the paper summarizes the definition and forms of bionic application by collecting and researching the related design cases and relevant literature on bionic design, analyzes the direct and indirect bionic design and their characteristics, and then carries out systematic analysis on bionic methods in design processes. The bionics designs in clothing textures, shapes, functions and patterns provide a broader design idea for the research and development of modern fashion design and promote the bionic application in modern clothing design.

Key words: bionic; fashion design; texture; modelling; function; pattern
