Abstract:

The Islamic artistic heritage contains a lot of different aesthetic values and elements throughout the Islamic ages in all details, each of which has its own aesthetics and characteristics. It has many different artistic aesthetic elements, including decorative elements of plant, geometry, and writing. Inspiration of this art adds originality to the works of art and can be used in the design of fashion and textile printing in various forms; modern and contemporary in line with the fashion. This is also due to the richness and variety of these sources, and what it carries in its beauty, authenticity and contemporaneity. The arts of Andalusia and its presence in the East and West in Morocco, Italy and Africa provide various interesting aesthetics and characteristics to the fashion designer. As printing of textiles, encourages him/her to look at every piece of art as an inspiration in design and also to add an aesthetic element to each piece of clothing on its own. For the variety of colors and daring designs and accuracy of implementation, it can also be used in the treatment of some of the psychological problems facing the user of clothing. Clothes and design is not only to be worn, it reflects the person plus many personal and psychological aspects of his choice of clothes, and can also be used to influence the Psychological state of the individual. As clothing must perform a function, purpose and beauty and can also be used for treatment plus the effect on the psychological state of the person. The most interested categories of clothes are women due to their personal appearance and their innate love to appear distinctively, plus their sense of beauty, which affects their mental and moral state. We find that women over the age of fifty go through many of effects, so they are exposed in a high percentage to the symptoms of psychological depression because of the (Menopause) phase. This stage represents a great challenge for many women and perhaps the most common symptoms of hormonal transitions in women at this age is the feeling of depression and lack of desire to life, too, as they cannot find what is satisfactory to them from their own designs which give them a sense of self-confidence and distinctiveness. Therefore, caring about the general appearance of women has a great role at this stage. The more women feel that they are still beautiful and elegant, the less they feel in despair and self-confidence will be increased. As at the age of fifty, the woman reaches the peak of mental and intellectual maturity, thus, caring about the external appearance becomes one of the fundamentals of the psychological balance. Plus, caring about clothes and the manner of wearing it help greatly to improve the psychological status, control of life, and the ability to receive the day in a manner of vitality and activity.
