The market for Internet fashion/coordination shopping malls has been enormously increased year by year. However, online shoppers feel inconvenient because most of Internet shopping malls still rely on item classifications by category and do not provide the functionality in terms of which shoppers can find clothes they want. In an effort to build a fashion/coordination system for women's dress adopting the Heuristic-based method, one of the Context-based methods, we present a method for defining characteristics of a woman's dress as attributes and their inheritance relations, which can be input by a product manager. We also compare and analyze various methods for recommending the most similar clothes.

This study examined the current status of online shopping malls with a focus on their three different types-specialized malls, general malls, and open markets-and investigated consumers' hedonic shopping motives and influence on fashion materials in terms of purchasing behavior. In doing so, this study surveyed men and women in their 20s-30s residing in Seoul or its surrounding cities and used a total of 255 questionnaires for statistical analysis. The statistical software program SPSS 15.0 was used to conduct frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The study results showed that in general and specialized shopping malls, consumers granted greater reliability and importance to fashion materials when their interest in shopping or attention to fashion items/brands was high and when they wanted rare items. In open markets, the more interest consumers had in shopping and the more sensitive they were to fashion information, the more dependent they were on prices; in other words, prices were found to have a greater influence on their purchase decisions than the quality of fashion materials. The findings of this study would be useful to marketers and distributors who are trying to develop their marketing strategies based on fashion material information, according to the different types of online shopping malls.
