본 연구에서는 시판 중인 디바이스를 활용하여 외관에서는 기성복의 스타일을 유지하면서 기능성을 부여한 노년 여성을 위한 스마트 재킷을 개발하였다. 노년기에 접어들면서 시력은 약화되며 효과적인 체온조절도 저하된다. 이에 열과 빛의 기능을 제공하는 연구재킷을 제작하고 노년층 소비자들의 평가를 실시하여 그 수용가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 재킷에 대한 만족도 평가는 전문가 외관 평가 및 소비자 착용 평가로 실시되었으며 재킷의 피트성, 활동성, 디바이스의 기능성, 수용 가능성 여부 등을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 전반적으로 높은 만족도를 보였으며 노년층에서도 충분히 미적요소와 기능성이 결합된 스마트 의류가 일상복으로 받아들여질 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 여전히 스마트 의류의 문제점 중의 하나인 디바이스의 무게를 경량화 할 수 있는 방법이 모색되어야 할 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 결과가 노년층을 위한 스마트 의복의 가능성과 만족도 향상을 위한 방안을 제시하는 기초 자료가 되기를 바란다.

This paper is a comparative research study between Korean and American women's garments from the 1910s to 1930s. It focuses on the articles and advertisements of Korean women's magazines and American women's magazines. The Korean women's magazines investigated are 신여자[Siyeoja], 신가정[Singajung], 부인[Buin], 신여성[Sinyeosung], and 여성[Yeosung]. The American woman's magazine investigated is Ladies' Home Journal. This paper explores the differences and similarities between the garments that appear in these magazines. There is little evidence about women's clothing in Korean women's magazines while the American women's magazine includes a lot of information about women's dress and life. Korean women usually wore Korean traditional costumes with traditional terms like Chima and Jeogori but they wore western shoes, stockings, shawls, umbrellas, and some clothing with western materials such as lace, velvet, and rayon with borrowed words. These western accessories and some clothing materials like lace and rayon were the same fashion in America. So, Korean women wore traditional and western clothing together while American women wore clothing influenced by Paris fashion. American women wore various pieces of clothing like suits, frocks, coats and sportswear with undergarments. There were also lots of advertisements about women's under garments and sportswear which was different from Korean women's clothing during the period.

Most of the previous works on the distribution design have stressed product characteristics and consumer's shopping behaviours. The firm especially in women's aopparel industry recently has had difficulty in how to decide and to select the distribution numbers in the domestic market. Thus five hypothesis were set based on the data in '98Korea Fashion Guide describing the brand of women's wear in detail. It has been published by Korea Fashion Association in 1997. The variables of this study were the price the total sale the launching period the target customer's age and brand origins related with domestic or foreign. 579 brands had been analyzed with percentage anova duncan's test pearson's correlation and t-test. the results were as follows: In general the higher the price of the product is the less intensive the distribution of the women's apparel industry is. The higher the total sale is and the younger the target customer's age is the more intensive the distribution of the women's apparel industry is Besides there is difference between the domestic brand and the foreign brand in the distribution intensity. There is no relationship between the launching period of the brand and the distribution intensity.

본 연구는 20대에서 60대까지의 여성을 대상으로 하여 환경오염과 패션산업의 관계에 대해서 어떻게 생각하고 있는지를 조사하고 그 인식을 유형화하였다. 이를 통해 패션산업이 환경문제를 개선하기 위해 나아갈 방향에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 패션과 환경오염에 대한 인식유형은 4개로 분석되었다. 제1유형은 의류를 생산하는 과정과 소비하는 과정이 환경오염을 유발한다고 인식하지만, 패스트패션을 선호하고 트렌드를 중시하는 유형이었다. 제2유형은 패션산업이 공기와 수질을 오염시킨다고 생각하며, 가격이 비싸다면 리사이클링 의류를 구매하지는 않는 유형이었다. 제3유형은 패션산업이 환경오염의 주범이 아니라고 생각하며, 옷을 구매하면 오래 착용함으로써 환경을 지켜야 한다고 생각하였다. 제4유형은 환경을 먼저 고려하고 헌 옷을 구매하고 옷을 바꿔 입는 등 환경오염을 줄이기 위해 노력하는 유형이었다. 환경의 중요성이 커진 만큼 패션분야에서도 환경오염을 줄일 수 있는 다양한 노력이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

With rapid expansion in e-retailing of apparel business, the virtual fitting model is used for comparing fit of the selected garments. The researchers experimented women's perceived body size for developing virtual fitting model. 50 women who were 20's in age were participated in the experiment They were graduate students with clothing & textile major. The results of this study showed that the subjects perceived themselves with fuller figure at waist or hips and with shorter figure at waist height than their actual body site. Many subjects believed that their body sizes were close to the average site. Especially, subjects whose abdomen girth of hip girth was much larger than average thought that they have relatively flat abdomen. It was concluded that not only the user's body measurements but also user's perception on their figure type are needed to be considered in the process of developing virtual fitting model for e-retailing of apparel. It was expected that the virtual fitting model of extraordinary size body would not be accepted by the female consumers even though they are extra large or small size person in reality.
