This essay has three Dunhuang frescos as its research subjects,and it attempts to restore the image of clothing worn by six figures depicted among them.Image restoration means to restore the whole appearance of an image by analyzing the clothing structure,the choice of material,the results of color restoration testing and the reproduction of pattern.Ultimately,the clothes on the fresco are transformed into a three dimensional object.Our team consists of professor Jiang Yuqiu and students from the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology.We will restore six clothing items including robes,short coats,half-arm shawls,skirts,capes etc.The clothing items were shown on the exhibition,Draping clothes-art Exhibition of Dunhuang Fashion held at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology in Oct.2013.We will continue research on Chinese fashion history in order to pass on the traditional techniques of plant dyeing and hand embroidery.In conclusion,the quintessence of Dunhuang fresco fashion is inimitable,but the real value lies in the technique.
