Purchasing behavior for upcycled fashion products was examined along with analysis on environment consciousness, clothing recycling behavior, interest in fashion and awareness of upcycling. Students from middle schools, general high schools and design high schools participated in this research from August to September in 2013. 732 questionnaires were analyzed by SPSS WIN. Firstly the levels of environmental consciousness, clothing recycling behavior and interest in fashion of students were high, low and mediate respectively. Female students showed higher environmental consciousness compared to male ones and clothing recycling behavior were found to be higher in students of design high schools than those of general ones. The level of interest in fashion was found to be higher in students of general high school than those of middle school, and this was higher in design high school students than those of general ones. Secondly, more than half of students were unaware of upcycling. Female students and students of design high schools were highly aware of upcycling. Students who were aware of upcycling showed high level of environmental consciousness, clothing recycling behaviour and interest in fashion. Thirdly, students had low experiences in purchasing upcycled fashion products and the reason was lack of awareness of upcycling. The reason that students purchased upcycled fashion products was the uniqueness and design.

As industrial development standardizes the quality of products, people are increasingly attracted by a certain brand with intangible value. Consumers, surrounded by a variety of brand in a market, want to have relationships with specific brands reflected by their personality. Especially in fashion, brand personality is more important since products are highly involved in terms of personal emotion. The purpose of the study is to identify the dimension of overall fashion brand personality, to specify the 'Dimension of Fashion Brand Personality' according to fashion product categories (i.e., formal wear, casual wear, sports wear), and to investigate the effect of each dimension of fashion brand personality on brand preference and purchase intention. The results were as follows: Firstly, based on Aaker(1997)'s 'Big five factors' and selection fashion brand personality factors from our pretest, the fashion brand personality factors were verified as 'Fashionable/ Innovative', 'Sincere', 'Universal! Stable', 'Professional'. Secondly, according to fashion product categories, brand personality was defined as below. Brand personality for formal wear included 'Innovative/ Active', 'Stable', 'Professional', and 'Universal'. Brand personality for casual wear included 'Fashionable/ Innovative', 'Active', 'Sincere', and 'Stable'. Brand personality for sports wear included 'Innovative', 'Social', 'and 'Sincere'.

의복은 인간이 삶을 영위함에 있어 필수불가결한 요소인 ‘의식주’의 하나로서 생산 및 유통의 역사는 인간의 역사와 같이한다. 인간의 개성 추구와 더불어 의복은 인간을 외부로부터 보호해 주는 기능적인 면에서 자신을 표출하는 패션적인 면이 더욱 강조되는 경향을 발전하고 있다. 의류부문에서 물류의 기능은 다른 제품과 마찬가지로 제품의 출하되는 원상태로 유지하면서 소비자가 원하는 시간에 원하는 장소에서 인도될 때 완전한 물류서비스를 제공하는 것이 된다.(중략)

끊임없이 발전하는 기술은 4차 산업혁명시대를 열게하는 중심이 되었으며 세상의 모든 것을 변화시켜가고 있다. 최근에는 혁신적이고 고도화된 IT 기술이 완전히 다른 분야와 유기적으로 융합하여 새로운 가치를 만들어 가고 있다. 특히 패션 분야에서는 이와 같은 선도적인 기술을 바탕으로 패션, 그 이상의 기능을 담당하는 '스마트패션'의 시대를 맞이하고 있다. 패션에서의 새로운 산업 분야로 자리매김하고 있는 스마트패션에 대한 사용자의 요구가 증대하고 새로운 제품을 출시하고자 하는 기업의 시도가 계속되고 있으나 학교 현장에서는 이에 대한 적절한 교육과정이 부재한 상태이다. 특히 IT 엔지니어와 패션 디자이너와의 협업의 경험이 전무할뿐만 아니라 제품을 설계하고 제작해 나가는 과정에 대한 개념이 서로 완전히 상이하여 융합의 시도가 단지 시도로 그치고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 IT와 패션 전공 학생들이 함께 참여할 수 있는 융합 교과 과정을 설계함으로써 미래의 산업사회 요구에 선제적으로 대응하고자 한다. 이를 통해 상이한 전공을 가지고 있는 두 전공 학생들에게 타 전공에 대한 지식을 이해할 수 있는 기회를 제공하는 동시에 융합에 대한 경험을 충분히 제공함으로써 미래 시장으로의 선도 진입과 역할 수행의 적합성을 이루어 낼 수 있도록 한다.

This study aims to explore the perceptions of MZ's on eco-friendly consumption and their preferences for eco-friendly souvenirs. The top reasons for buying upcycling products include design, price, differentiation, and environmentalism, with design having the most influence on product purchase. Design is also a top consideration when buying upcycling souvenirs. Regarding environmental issues, they were most aware of the seriousness of environmental pollution and thought that recycling of fashion products was necessary. When it comes to eco-friendly fashion purchasing behaviors, the most common choice is to buy clothes that will last longer than those that are in fashion. Upcycling products are more likely to be purchased when there is a concern for the environment or an interest in eco-friendly products. In addition, those who have purchased upcycling products are more likely to be aware of and interested in eco-friendly fashion products and recycling of fashion products. Women are more likely than men to be concerned about environmental issues, and women are also more likely to be aware of upcycling souvenirs. In future research, it would be useful to study the relationship between upcycling products, environmental issues, consumer behavior, and upcycling souvenirs.
