This study reviewed advanced research, fashion magazines, and information providers. The advanced research determined the study's scope by pinpointing the designers who introduced the hippie style into their collections. The results are as follows: First, the reproduced hippie style appears as the combination of various colors and materials, a convergence or mixture of styles, or the use of collage or patchwork.

본 연구는 청소년의 환경친화적 의복 소비행동에 영향을 미치는 변수들을 파악하여, 환경친화적 의복 구매, 사용, 처분행동을 유도하기 위한 교육적 자료를 제공하는데 목적이 있다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 청소년의 환경활동 경험은 보통 이상이며, 환경활동 경험 중 환경문제에 대한 교육을 받은 경험이 가장 낮게 나타났다. 둘째, 환경친화적 가치관 중 환경보전 가치관이 가장 높게, 이타주의 가치관이 가장 낮게 나타났다. 셋째, 의복을 통하여 개성을 추구하고자 하는 욕구가 가장 크고 다음으로 편안함과 가격을 추구했으며, 유행과 브랜드를 추구하는 성향은 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 환경친화적 의복 소비의식 중 처분의식은 보통 이상이나 구매의식과 환경문제 인식은 보통 이하로 낮게 나타났다. 특히 의복이 유발하는 환경문제에 대한 인식이 가장 낮은 점을 감안해 의복의 생산과 소비과정에서의 환경오염과 이를 예방할 수 있는 방안에 대한 교육이 필요하다. 다섯째, 환경친화적으로 의복을 소비하는 행동은 전체적으로 낮게 나타났다. 하위요인 중 사용과 처분 행동은 어느 정도 실행되나 구매 행동은 환경친화적으로 이루어지지 못하고 있었다. 이는 그동안의 환경교육이 주로 자원 절약과 재활용 등 사용 및 처분행동에 초점을 맞추어 진행되었기 때문으로 생각되며, 따라서 앞으로는 소비의 시작인 의복의 구매단계에서 환경친화적인 소비행동을 할 수 있도록 교육해야 할 것이다. 여섯째, 청소년의 환경친화적 의복 소비행동에 영향을 미치는 변수 중 가격 추구 성향과 의복 처분의식은 의복 구매 사용 처분의 모든 의복 소비행동에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
