From a sustainability perspective, the characteristics of upcycling fashion design by Marine Serre were analysed to understand upcycling fashion design, which can be an important way to follow sustainability values in the fashion industry, and to provide solutions for moving towards sustainable fashion. In order to derive the characteristics of upcycling fashion design from a sustainability perspective, the values of sustainable designs and the characteristics of the upcycling design were derived though the analysis of Marine Serre's seasonal collections from the 2018 F/W season to the recent 2022 F/W season. The research results are summarized as follows. First, the value of sustainable fashion design could be classified into environmental, economic, social, and cultural values. Second, Marine Serre's upcycling fashion design was driven by the characteristics of sustainable upcycling fashion design, such as environmentality, originality, variability, economy, handicraft, time, and availability. Third, Marine Serre's upcycling fashion design contained all environmental, economic, social, and cultural sustainability values.

This study aimed to enhance public awareness of the growing issue of automobile waste and promote environmental protection by developing visually appealing and innovative clothing designs. By leveraging successful examples of upcycled fashion design and products that could recycle automobile waste, this study proposed four garment designs utilizing various materials such as seat belts, leather seat fabrics, and airbags from automobile waste. Ultimately, two of these garments were produced as physical prototypes. Findings of this study are summarized as follows. First, the development of upcycled fashion products utilizing automotive waste opened new possibilities for sustainable fashion design. This approach demonstrates potential to meet demands of modem consumers who prioritize environmental values and social responsibility. Second, the study established an important foundation for understanding market acceptance and consumer perception of upcycled fashion products using automotive waste. As consumer awareness of environmental protection grows and demand for sustainable products increases, these upcycled products are likely to gain significant traction in the fashion industry.

본 연구는 지속적인 의류 환경 문제에 대응하기 위해, 지속 가능한 대안인 업사이클링(Upcycling)을 3D 의류 시뮬레이션 프로그램 Z-weave를 사용하여 해결책을 모색해 보는데 그 목적이 있다. 업사이클링 제품은 한정된 소재와 자원으로 샘플 제작이 어렵고, 폐의류들로 바로 완성품을 제작해야 한다는 한계점이 있다. 이러한 제약을 극복하기 위해 3D 의류 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 도입해 폐의류의 한정된 자원을 효과적으로 활용하고자 한다. 본 연구의 목표는 Z-weave를 통해 생성된 가상공간에서의 의류 원단과 현실 원단의 유사도를 확인하고, 이를 통해 실제 패션 산업에서의 활용 가능성을 평가하는 것이다. 연구 방법은 실제 작품과 유사하게 표현하기 위해 Z-weave 프로그램 안에서 물성을 조절해 실제 소재와 비교하고 전공자들을 대상으로 설문 조사와 인터뷰를 시행하였다. 이로써 Z-weave 프로그램의 패션업계에서 활용 가능성과 잠재적 한계점을 알아보고자 한다. 이 연구는 디지털 기술이 패션 산업에 미치는 영향에 관한 내용과 3D 의류 시뮬레이션 프로그램이 지속 가능한 패션 제작에 어떻게 활용될 수 있는지를 알아보고자 한다.

This study intends to present the directions for effective up-cycling design using Marquage painting through analysis of trends and the formative characteristics of fashion products. Research was conducted through a literature review (published papers, books and web site contents). Cases were analyzed by examining the contents of web sites of global luxury brands, representative workshops, and social network sites (SNS). The results of the study are categorized as follows, First, Marquage paintings are continuously used by global luxury brands and have developed as an expression of self-ownership and the personalization of one's identity. Second, fashion brands use Marquage painting as a customized service for sales. On the other hand, Marquage paintings are used as a kind of up-cycling to present old goods as brand new ones. Third, the patterns used in Marquage painting were classified into five types: geometric patterns, logo patterns, character patterns, lettering patterns, and art patterns. Moreover, formalization by Marquage patterns is represented by identification, customization, and up-cycling. Finally, to up-cycle the expressive features of Marquage- sustainability, scarcity, storytelling, and originality based on factors of up-cycling need to be reflected.

Mass-production caused by industrialization has led to environmental pollution; however, a potential solution to this problem is the Up-cycling fashion design belonging to the sustainable design category. This study analyzed the material characteristics of each brand fashion product by selecting 21 domestic Up-cycling fashion brands. The product types manufactured by domestic Up-cycling fashion brands could be divided into fashion clothing, bag, and fashion accessories. The materials used for each item included special material, waste fiber, waste leather, waste paper, and others. In the results of analyzing the material characteristics into the external characteristics and internal characteristics, the external characteristics included the durability with less abrasiveness and deformation as well as a mixture with other different materials, while the internal characteristics included a story arousing consumers' empathy, and scarcity without the same design due to the limitation of material.
