Addressing the environmental impact of textile waste, this study explores upcycling as a sustainable fashion solution, particularly focusing on the upcycling of discarded fishing nets, which are a significant source of marine pollution. In 2018, South Korea alone produced 193.3 tons of clothing waste, refelcting a global trend, where textile waste exceedsed 92 million tons. The research methodology involved a literature review and case studies on upcycled fashion, focusing on discarded fishing nets. Designs for three outfits targeting women in their twenties were proposed and a survey was carried out to assess the their perception of upcycled fashion and the design's appeal and practicality. Under the theme, 'Marine Spirit,' the study aimed to raise awareness of marine pollution, drawing inspiration from the ocean's vibrant life. The designs diverge from the monotonous 'Casual Glam' trend, and incorporate vivid colors and asymmetrical structures for visual appeal. The practical application of fishing nets varied across the pieces, serving as fillers in transparent PVC padded coats and decorative elements in skirts and puff dresses. The distinctive properties of fishing nets provide a unique aesthetic, which resonated well with the target audience. Despite challenges in adopting eco-friendly dyeing methods and assessing mass production feasibility, the study underscores the need for continued research in sustainable textile processing. The study reaffirms the importance of sustainable fashion, highlighting the creative potential of fishing nets as a material.

친환경 감성단어를 '환경/자연, 소재/섬유, 인간, 형용사/기타' 등의 4가지 영역으로 분류하고 각 단어에 대하여 그 출현시점, 빈도를 1999~2010년 상반기 간의 인터넷 섬유패션 신문 및 잡지를 중심으로 조사한 결과, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 가장 빈번히 출현한 단어는 '자연, 환경, 면, 천연섬유, 건강, 신선한, 맑은, 보존, 하모니, 옥수수섬유, 로하스' 등이었다. '친환경' 관련 감성단어의 출현시점을 살펴보면, 2000년도 이전부터 '에코, 형상기억소재, 오가닉, 스파' 등이 사용되어왔으며, 2000-1년도에 '자연환경, 친환경, 스트레치소재, 웰빙의, 대체가능한, 재생가능한' 등이 등장하였다. 2002-3년도에 '스마트소재, 친환경소재, 그린' 등이 사용되기 시작하였고, 2004-5년도에 '쿨비즈, 로하스, 자연염색' 등이 처음으로 사용되었다 2006-7년도에 '한방, 지속가능한, 웜비즈' 등이 사용되었고, 2008-9년도에 '그린슈머, 그린라이프, 태양에너지, 삼림욕' 등이 섬유패션 분야에서 처음 사용되었다. 친환경 감성단어의 출현 양상을 살펴보면, 친환경 감성단어의 출현은 과거 어느 때보다 2008-09년도에 가장 많이 등장하고 있었는데 2000년도 초반에는 비교적 많이 등장하였으나 이후 다소 주춤하였고 이는 근래에 들어 다시 출현빈도가 높아졌다. 영역별로 살펴보면 '환경/자연' 관련 친환경 감성 단어가 과거보다 최근에 두드러지게 빈번히 사용되고 있으며, 이에 비해 '인간' 관련 단어는 주춤하여 약간 감소세이거나 동일한 빈도를 나타내고 있다. 또 '형용사/기타' 관련 단어는 약간 증가세이거나 과거와 동일한 빈도를 나타내고 있었다. '소재/섬유' 관련 단어는 패션잡지에서는 최근에 그 빈도가 줄어드는 경향을 보이는 반면 인터넷 신문에서는 약간 증가하는 추세를 보였다.
