MZ Generation has multipersona and characteristics that create various egos depending on the situation, and fashion styling is also expressed differently by each persona. Thus, this study investigates how to provide a multipersona or characteristic user experience to fashion shopping applications. Traditional fashion shopping apps, which focus on items, colors, and advertisements, have difficulty solving the problems of MZ generation fashion, so it is necessary to actively utilize their characteristics. We investigate the definitions and characteristics of multipersona and generation MZ, and identify the shopping behavior of generation MZ through prior research. We also analyze cases and improvements that indirectly utilize multipersona in fashion shopping apps. Four UX elements were derived through user interviews to identify needs and It was possible to derive positive effects, such as providing a shopping experience by forming one's own fashion characters in a personalized fashion beyond the existing fashion recommendation frame, which helps to worry about styling and gives a different experience.

영화, 애니메이션, 게임 등 디지털 문화 컨텐츠에서 의상을 입은 캐릭터들의 사실성이 강조되는데, 기존의 패션 CAD나 의상 애니메이션 소프트웨어들은 디자인에 있어서 여러 단계의 작업을 거쳐야 하고 의상 디자인의 전문성을 요구한다 특히, 최근 우리 문화 원형의 디지털 컨텐츠화로 디지털 한복의 수요가 증가하고 있으며, 한복은 재단이나 착용방식 등에서 양복과는 구성학적 차이점을 지님에도 불구하고 디지털 한복 제작을 위한 전문 시뮬레이션 도구는 전무하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 전통적인 한복의 제작에서 사용하는 신체 치수 측정방법과 옷본 및 체형에 따른 사이즈 조정 방법을 지식베이스로 구축하였다. 이를 통해 한복에 대한 사전 지식이 업는 사용자들도 가상 캐릭터에 쉽게 한복을 착용 시킬 수 있는 지식 기반 한복 드레이핑 방법을 제안한다.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the symbolic meanings of the beautiful girls' character fashion in modern Japanese animations. This study investigated the currency and characteristics of the beautiful girls' characters from the 80's to the present. The fashion style of a beautiful girl's character was categorized into four styles: trendy style, adult style, Lolita style and fantasy style. These fashion styles were analyzed, and as a result, three symbolic meanings of the fashion style of a beautiful girl's character are discussed. Firstly, these occidentalized body styles represented idealized body images that are not traditionally Japanese. Secondly, the adult style (growth) represented coming out, i.e. the desires to develop from a child into an adult. Thirdly, the adult (transformation), Lolita and fantastic styles appealed to maniac consumers, having a "Moe" feeling.
