Abstract

MZ Generation has multipersona and characteristics that create various egos depending on the situation, and fashion styling is also expressed differently by each persona. Thus, this study investigates how to provide a multipersona or characteristic user experience to fashion shopping applications. Traditional fashion shopping apps, which focus on items, colors, and advertisements, have difficulty solving the problems of MZ generation fashion, so it is necessary to actively utilize their characteristics. We investigate the definitions and characteristics of multipersona and generation MZ, and identify the shopping behavior of generation MZ through prior research. We also analyze cases and improvements that indirectly utilize multipersona in fashion shopping apps. Four UX elements were derived through user interviews to identify needs and It was possible to derive positive effects, such as providing a shopping experience by forming one's own fashion characters in a personalized fashion beyond the existing fashion recommendation frame, which helps to worry about styling and gives a different experience.

MZ세대는 상황에 따라 여러 가지 자아를 만들어 가는 멀티퍼소나 특징을 갖고 있으며 패션 스타일링 또한 각각의 퍼소나마다 다르게 표출한다. 이에 본 연구는 패션 쇼핑 앱에 멀티퍼소나 특성을 반영한 사용자 경험을 제공할 방안에 대해 연구하였다. 아이템과 컬러, 광고 위주의 추천 방식을 가진 기존 패션 쇼핑 앱은 MZ세대의 패션에 대한 고민을 해소하기에 어려운 실정이므로 이들의 특징을 적극적으로 활용할 방안이 필요하다. 이에 멀티퍼소나와 MZ세대의 개념과 특징을 조사하고, 선행연구를 통해 MZ세대의 패션 쇼핑 행태를 파악하였다. 또한 패션 쇼핑 앱에서 멀티퍼소나를 간접적으로 활용한 사례와 개선점을 분석하였다. 니즈 파악을 위한 사용자 인터뷰를 통해 4가지의 UX 요소를 도출하였고 기존의 패션 추천 틀을 벗어나 자신의 멀티퍼소나 캐릭터를 형성하여 쇼핑 경험을 제공하는 것이 패션 고민에 도움이 되고 색다른 경험을 가능케 하는 긍정적인 효과를 보였다.
