This paper starts out with a review of the concepts of naturalism and natural clothes. Based on these concepts, the paper aims to create nature-friendly and high-value modem designs by grafting natural images from butterflies into human bodies. The images of butterflies are combined to show distinguished luxury and diversity with natural materials such as denim. As for the design technology, Adove Illustrator 10, Photoshop 7.0, and Prima Vision Textile Design System are used since they are very popular in the CAD system. The followings are the main findings of our research. Naturalism displays its objectivity based on its inherent interest in human nature and its factual description in scientific approaches with an intention to find a true meaning of human life in nature. Natural clothes can be defined as the clothes of natural silhouette which are made of pure materials in natural colors and dyes from natural motifs such as animals, plants or natural phenomena. We have realized that the visually distinguished looks of butterflies are indeed far more luxurious than those of any other insects and this visual distinction can be utilized to attract the attention from designers. Lastly, it turns out that the digital printing technique can create more variety in colors and design forms than the manual printing, thereby providing designers with more options and practicality.

The recent trend in younger generations of wearing traditional costumes or incorporating fusion hanbok into daily wear necessitates the development of modern hair accessories to complement hanbok. The purpose of this study is to develop practical and modern hair accessory designs inspired by royal women's hair ornaments that complement hanbok, and therefore expand the scope of fashion content development utilizing hanbok culture as well as meeting the demand for various experiences of traditional culture. This research studied the literature on traditional hairstyles and accessories of Queen Yeong and constructed models of these accessories for the purpose of empirical research. The production process first required creating a basic foundation of nylon mesh reflecting the silhouette of a traditional hairstyle, and then grafting a digital textile printed fabric using majestic and extravagant royal relics on top, thus employing the trompe l'oeil technique to ultimately give the impression of wearing traditional jewelry. As a result, a total of six hair accessory designs were completed, produced with hairbands, hair pins, and hair ties. In addition, the accessories are designed to be easily worn regardless of the wearer's hair style, and the stiff yet flexible nylon mesh effectively expresses the shape of a voluminous hairstyle and creates an optical illusion, blending into the hair. These research results present a unique aesthetic and cultural experience to the greater public seeking both daily entertainment and value from rarity.

In modem society, fashion is used as a means to express oneself. Colors in fashion are regarded as one of the important design elements and play a significant role. Today men's fashion trend represents to adopt diverse silhouettes, colors and various materials. They can choose diverse color for men's fashion. Brown has been popular colors for both man and woman. It usually represents the image of warm, comfort and classic. This research analyzed Brown whose diverse uses had been observed in fashion and the characteristics of Brown the color combinations in men's fashion through men's fashion collection from 2000 to 2008. The characteristics of color combinations with Brown analyzed two color combinations for the top and bottom as follows: First, the hue characteristics of Brown two color combinations were analyzed in men's fashion. Second, the tone characteristics of Brown two color combinations were analyzed in men's fashion. Third, the characteristics of color combinations were analyzed in the Brown top and bottom according to the hues in men's fashion. The Brown color combinations were analyzed according to the 10 hues and achromatic colors. As a result, 10YR was most used in both the top and bottom in F/W and S/S. As for the Brown color combinations of the 12 tones and achromatic colors in the top and bottom, dark grayish was the most used in S/S and F/W regardless of the seasons. The Brown color combinations in men's fashion were analyzed in terms of characteristics. As a result, 10YR and 2.5Y were most used. They were also of the highest frequency in the color combinations of Brown tops and bottoms.

The purpose of this study was to pay attention to the increase in the frequency of expression of butterflies and insects, whose decrease in the number of individuals is symbolized as a measure of environmental pollution, among the various motifs of nature as we go through the COVID-19, when we realized the importance of nature. The scope of this study was limited to fashion collection fashion show photos and interview articles of online for fashion collections from 2019 to 2023. As a result of the study, 185 butterfly motivation fashion design appeared, and digital printing techniques were the most used as a type of plane expression method. Along with this, techniques such as quilting, embroidery, and beading have appeared a lot as techniques to express the planar motif of butterflies. As for the three-dimensional expression types, 3D printing, laser cutting, corsage techniques, and draping techniques showed similar proportion. It can be seen that the expressed butterfly motif had more realistic description the shape of the butterfly as it was than abstract expressions. In conclusion, it can be seen that the butterfly motif fashion design over the past five years contains a stronger message about the environment than the butterfly motif fashion in the past. It was confirmed that it is a motif with a great symbolic meaning that can convey an eco-friendly message beyond just the morphological beauty and colorful design elements of the butterfly.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic information about various methods to easily affix unique embroidery effects to clothes due to the current expansion of digital fashion technology. A comparison of design techniques using virtual and real clothing was used to show the visual expression of embroidery designs. Actual embroidery motifs were created using a computer embroidery machine, DTP embroidery motifs were made by utilizing digitalization techniques, and digital motifs were produced. Then patch pocket type T-shirts were produced using each embroidery technique to compare the visual expression effects on clothing. The results of this comparison are as follows: for real clothing color (3.5), texture (4.0), gloss (3.8), and thickness (3.5). It was found that the color and thickness of the embroidery floss was visually sufficiently show the design texture and gloss. In terms of the embroidery design on virtual garments, the resutls of color (3.8), texture (4.3), gloss (3.9), and thickness (3.6) showed a high degree of similarity to the non-virtual results, confirming that digitized embroidery motifs are also a tool that can fully realize unique embroidery effect.

전통 날염방식(Silk Screen)과 디지털날염(Digital Textile Printing)을 비교해보면, 디지털날염은 디자인에서부터 날염까지의 전공정을 완전히 디지털화함으로서 다양하게 디자인할 수 있고 미묘한 색감의 흐름을 표현할 수 있어서 자연스러운 이미지의 표현이 가능하다. 그러나 현재 디지털날염을 피혁이나 직물에 적용하기에는 프린팅속도가 느려서 생산성이 낮고 이미지 내구성(세탁, 승화, 일광, 및 마찰견뢰도)이 낮은 등 많은 단점을 가지고 있다. 또한 신발산업은 현재 중국이나 동남아시아 등 개발도상국의 등장으로 수출의 국제적 경쟁시대에 접어들면서 대량생산이나 획일적인 디자인으로부터 벗어나 고부가가치 상품을 생산해야하는 과제를 안게 되었다. 한편 가죽에 응용가능한 잉크는 크게 수성, 유성, 용제형과 자외선 경화형의 잉크가 있으며 자외선 경화형 잉크는 자외선을 이용하여 기존의 잉크의 단점을 보완한 것이다. 자외선 경화형 잉크는 자외선 램프를 열원으로 하여 이온 또는 라디칼 중합, 광중합을 하며, 에너지 소비가 적어 경제적이며 시스템 가동시 비활성 기체가 필요하지 않다. 또한 자외선 경화형 기술은 상온에서 이용할 수 있으며 잉크의 경우 건조하는 데 걸리는 시간이 필요하지 않다. 또한 시스템을 가동 시키거나 중지 시키는 것이 쉬우며 고속으로 연속적인 일을 처리할 수 있다. 프린터의 크기가 작아 공간 효율이 유리하며 용제나 $CO_2$가 발생하지 않아 친환경적인 기술이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 자외선 경화형 시스템을 잉크에 적용하여 피혁 표면에 프린팅한 다음 그 견뢰도를 측정함으로써 그 효과를 알아보았다. 세탁에 의한 Matlab 측정값으로부터 용제형 잉크의 경우는 세탁 전, 후 line width가 큰 차이를 보이나 자외선 경화형 잉크의 경우는 그 차이가 적음으로부터 자외선 경화형 잉크가 용제형에 비해 색상 탈리가 적었음을 말한다. 또한 raggedness값 역시 마찬가지 결과를 보여 안료 색소와 피혁의 접착성이 향상된 것을 알 수 있다. SEM을 이용한 피혁의 표면과 단면 사진을 보면 용제형보다 자외선 경화형 잉크를 사용한 피혁이 좀 더 매끈한 표면을 보이는데 이것은 접착기능을 하는 아크릴레이트에 의해 균일한 날염이 가능하기 때문이라 고 생각된다. 이상의 결과로부터 자외선 경화형 잉크가 세탁, 마찰, 일광 견뢰도가 우수함을 알 수 있었으며 기존의 용제형 잉크를 대체할 수 있는 좋은 재료라고 생각된다.

The copolymers were prepared by the emulsion copolymerization of fluoroalky lacrylate-stearylacrylate-m-isopropenyl-${\alpha},\;{\alpha}'$-dimethylbenzyl isocyanate (TMI) in order to obtain water repellent polymers. The respective copolymerization rates of the three monomers considerably depended upon the use of the nonionic emulsifier and the nonionic-cationic mixed emusifier, and the optimum conditions were obtained. The particle sizes of the copolymers were in the range of 105 to 222nm. The particle sizes of the copolymers prepared by the use of the mixed emulsifiers were smaller than those of the copolymers prepared by the use of the nonionic emulsifier. The reactions of both TMI-N-methyl acetamide and TMI-cellobiose did not take place. However, the reaction of TMI-n-butylamine occurred. The water contact angles before and after washing three times for nylon and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabrics coated with the copolymer prepared by the use of mixed emulsifier were about $139^{\circ}\;and\;133^{\circ}$ Therefore, the copolymer showed good durable repellency for nylon and PET.
