The purpose of this study was to examine what consumers virtyally thought about deconstructional method used in fashion and its cloths. For attaining the purpose, earlier studies were reviewed to see what kind of deconstructional methods were used in fashion and its cloth, and questionnaire survey was carried out based on the result. 10 kinds of deconstructional method were surveyed : indeterminate form, lingerie look, layering, unsymmetrical form, seethrough cloth, slash or making a hole, fray, padded cloth, patchworked cloth, and wrinkled cloth. There appeared 6 kinds of image for deconstructional fashion, esthetics, womanliness, youth, elegance, uniqueness, and fashionability. Consumers considered most deconstructional fashion to be unique but unique but lack elegance. However, they didn\`t feel indeterminate form, fray or padded cloth was unique, and one notable thing was that they had an impression wrinkled cloth was graceful. The design assessed to be generally esthetic was lingerie look, laying, seethrough cloth and wrinkled cloth. Those who were older set more esthetic value on layering, seethrough cloth, fray, padded cloth and wrinkled cloth. On the contrary, they didn\`t have a good impression from slash, making a hole or patchworked cloth. As a result of investigating the subjects\` willingness to wear deconstructional design, there was deconstructional design which they might possibly put on, and those who were older found more difficulties in wearing ir. Toward indeterminate and layering fashion, younger people whose age was ranged from 18 to 22 or from 18 to 22 or from 23 to 27 showed particularly better response. Married woman wanted to wear wrinkled cloth, and considered it possible to put on seethrough design more than unmarried women. Rather, younger people were more unwilling to wear seethrough design.
