The development of mass media has made it easy to rapidly expose the, public to numerous images - a phenomenon that has a considerable impact on modern society. Moving from a period when functional parts were important, symbols and images are now increasingly valuable. Drawing on Jean Baudrillard’s view of simulation as a necessary theoretical consideration for the study of images, this study examined the importance of image research in modern society, focusing on the apron and corset belts in the Cretan style. Based on this theoretical background as well as prior studies, the concept of simulation and the process of image formation in modern fashion were clarified; the reproducibility that occurs in the simulation process included the properties of realization, deformation, disorganization, hybridity, relationship, metaphor, transparency, symbolism, continuity, and variability as the lower properties these properties were derived to determine the inherent significance of attributes. Using fashion case studies, this study traced the direction of image change in modern fashion, as well as the image imitation characteristic of modern fashion that continue to be applied to create new styles, Baudrillard’s concept of simulacre, or reproducibility was used to examine how the characteristic elements of reproduction are applied to modern fashion. Following a consideration of the basic concept of reproduction and the type of images that are displayed in modern fashion publications, reproduction was assessed in light of Baudrillard’s image system view. This assessment showed that images are a very important factor in modern fashion. This study’s results suggest that the current excess of image and symbols will make styles in fashion increasingly pluralistic in the future, and the study of images in fashion will be very important in understanding this issue.
