In view of the current situation that students are generally lacking market awareness in employment, this paper started from the new problems in costume design teaching of colleges and universities in China and the clothing industry status to put forward that clothing teaching should be based on the "market" and that it should be combined with "higher education", and then the applied talents of "combination of art and skills" can be cultivated completely. Keywords—costume design; skill education; market; talents I. INTRODUCTI ON Today, China holds the largest amount of clothing sales and production volume in the world, and it is also the largest consumer of clothing. Especially since China joining the WTO, clothing industry has experienced rapid development in China, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. A clothing industrial zone is gradually formed in the southeast coastal area of Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, Shanghai and so on. At the same time, clothing teaching education in China develops rapidly. Our clothing educators are constantly groping forward in order to cultivate more suitable talents for enterprises. However, with new changes in costume design field in recent years, enterprises' demand for talents is constantly improved and diversified. Seeing from a number of enterprises' feedback on employment, clothing enterprises are in great need of advanced and professional talents who can handle skilled practice operation, have strong hands-on ability, can be able to recognize and grasp prevalent market information, understand epidemic prevalence in market and market development trend, can be familiar with various clothing brands and can accurately grasp customers' aesthetic needs and style positioning of clothing brands. In view of this, what enterprises really need is modern applied talents who can solve practical problems in clothing brand operation and actual operation of products and can keep pace with the times. II. PROFESSI ONAL CLOTH ING TALENT TRAINING Clothing educators in colleges and universities are fully aware of that: in order to adapt to new requirements of the clothing industry with increasingly fierce competition, we need to help students have a good market awareness during study period. Students should be in constant contact with popular information in domestic and foreign market. As to have a firm grasp on the market, effective guidance and in- depth teaching should be provided, including seizing popular style on the market, classification, summary and analysis of new techniques on the market, and knowledge concerning detailed design and clothing accessories and so on. It is undoubted that the part of market and enterprise imitation practice should be promoted during the teaching process. In the 2009 Clothing Industry Informatization High Level Forum, experts also demanded that clothing education should combine with the market to cultivate talents needed on the market. Judging from the current employment situation of graduates from costume design, students generally lack market awareness and they even fail in efficient information collection and market development. Their design can only stay in the stage of creating works. Students fail in development of products based on brand positioning and market quotations. Namely, they just complete a piece of work. Although there is personality in their designs, it can not be transformed into commodity. Therefore, many colleges take development of and research on market as the primary subject of costume design industry and costume design curriculum reform. It can be said that there is competition in skill education even during undergraduate studies.
