21세기 정보화 사회로 진입하면서 인터넷 사용이 급속히 증가함에 따라 패션 기업들도 마케팅 차원에서 브랜드 쉽 사이트를 구축하고 브랜드 이미지와 상품에 대한 정보를 제공하고 있다. 그러므로 브랜드 이미지가 중요한 패션 기업의 경우 현재 웹 사이트에 구축된 브랜드 컨셉트가 평상시의 컨셉트와 동일하게 인지되고 있는가에 대해 연구하는 것은 일관된 브랜드 이미지를 관리하는데 중요하다고 하겠다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내외 12개 패션 브랜드를 대상으로 평상시와 웹 사이트에서의 브랜드 컨셉트에 대한 인지도를 조사하여 평상시와 웹 사이트에서 동일한 브랜드 컨셉트를 유지할 수 있는 방법을 제안하고자 하였다.

‘웰빙(Well-Being)’이라는 단어를 접한 것은 얼마 되지 않았지만, 웰빙처럼 강력한 생활 트렌드를 만들어낸 경우도 흔치 않다. 어찌 보면‘잘 살아보세~ 우리도 한 번 잘 살아보세~’하던 1970년대 새마을 운동 컨셉과 비슷한 이 트렌드는 음식, 건강, 패션, 인테리어는 물론 여가 활용 등 생활 속 곳곳의 모든 것에 대해 웰빙 열풍을 만들어내고 있다. 시중에 나와 있는 책들은 물론이고, 하다 못해 패스트푸드의 햄버거 상품에 이르기까지 웰빙을 들고 나서면서 웰빙은 트렌드를 넘어서 일종의 브랜드까지 되는 현상을 보인다. 모바일 환경에도 웰빙 컨셉이 도입되고 있다. 모바일이라는 것이 생활 속에서 뗄래야 뗄 수 없는 도구라고 한다면, 마땅히 가장 먼저 웰빙 컨셉을 도입해 변화할 환경 중 하나라 할 수 있다. 단순한 통신 도구로서의 역할을 벗어나 웰빙 상품으로 탈바꿈하고 있는 모바일 환경에 대해 살펴본다

This study investigated the type of fashion brand concepts and derived the components of fashion brand concepts. A total of 125 brand concept texts of women's wear brands were collected from "2012/2013 Korea Fashion Brand Annual" (S. M. Kim, 2012). A qualitative research method was employed. To investigate the types of fashion brand concepts, the texts were classified into three types such as functional, symbolic, and experiential concepts, and four complex types such as functional/symbolic, functional/experiential, symbolic/experiential, and functional/symbolic/experiential concepts. Open coding and axial coding provided the components of fashion brand concepts. The results were as follows. First, an investigation of the types of fashion brand concepts indicated differences in the types of fashion brand concepts and the types of general product brand concepts. One content of a fashion brand concept could be interpreted as more than two concept types; consequently, many fashion brand concepts did not fit the notion of the types of general product brand concept. Most fashion brand concepts simultaneously encompassed more than two types of brand concepts at once. Second, the components of fashion brand concepts consisted of 55 subjects, 7 sub-categories (physical/intrinsic product characteristics, symbolic/conceptual product characteristics, target demographics, target consumer behavior, brand capability, brand values, and brand management/marketing) and 3 categories (product, target consumer, and brand).

This study aims to identify the special features of high-concept funology observed in fashion products and expressional media by exploring funology in an era of high-concept, the emotional paradigm of the 21st century. High-concept funology in today's fashion can be explained as follows: First, 'virtual reality', which is often seen in fashion shows and fashion commercials, enhances consumer participation and involvement with blurred boundaries between the real world and the virtual world. With the expansion of various forms of real-time communication with consumers, positive images of the brand are being projected to the consumers. Second, 'form transformability', which is often found in fashion products, promotes customers' purchase desire as they are able to present themselves in a more versatile way in the fashion product that is changeable in various designs. Third, 'integration of different fields', which is easily found in various fashion goods, engages consumers in a mutual interaction under an entertaining setting with the product that is made to satisfy their needs attuned to their digital lifestyle. Fourth, 'interactive responsiveness', which is mainly recognized in fashion stores and commercials, is characterized by its interactive playfulness that encourages consumer participation through entertainment contents and promotes brand intimacy, eventually adding more value to its name.

Recently, global luxury fashion brands such as Gucci, Saint Laurent, and Louis Vuitton have been showing special interest in Korean contemporary artists and actively collaborating with them. This can be said to be a new change that is distinguished from previous collaborations of fashion brands. Therefore, this study investigated the cases of collaboration between global luxury fashion brands and Korean contemporary artists, and analyzed the types and characteristics to examine the trends and characteristics and draw meaning. As a result, fashion brands combine the characteristics of Korean art works of various genres with the brand concept and pursued values to create new sensibility and high value-added products. It can be seen that the intention was to prepare a place to draw out.
