With the growth in consumption of children’s garments, consumers' perceptual demand for children's garments is becoming increasingly higher. The design patterns of children's garments in modern enterprises need urgent improvement. Because of the rapid development of computer technology, it becomes possible to design efficiently with interaction design platforms. Besides, this platform on children's garments is based on professional knowledge, which includes the deconstruction of design elements, the analysis of product family, the study on Kansei image and the operation of the platform.In this thesis, 710 children’s garments of different ages, seasons and genders are investigated. The samples are classified and 36 common design elements are selected. Then, 4 pairs of descriptive vocabularies and 7 pairs of perceptual ones are found by collecting and classifying. Finally, by analyzing the relationship between the products family and the Kansei image, the process of the system is designed.The research results of this paper have multiple applications. Firstly, it can provide a theoretical reference for children's clothing design, which is beneficial to product development. Secondly, it can be used in teaching study, helping designers without professional training understand the design better. Thirdly, it forms the basis of building a consumer's shopping guide system. Lastly, the interaction design system proposed in this paper can also help professional designers work more efficiently.
