This case study investigates fashion brands that have entered the pet fashion market. A total of 25 cases were identified and analyzed from three perspectives: 1) product types, size systems, prices, 2) design aspects, fabrics, patterns, styles, and 3) marketing strategies. The study results are as follows. First, the product types of pet fashion are not diverse, and only the sizes of small dogs can be found. However, there is a significant price difference between brands. Second, knitted fabrics with good elasticity are mainly used for pet fashion products, and patterns incorporating their brands are extremely common. The style is casual and sporty. Third, marketing strategies should include a new line within a brand or launch a single specialized brand as a one-shot test for consumer reaction. Additionally, it has been expanded and presented as a family look to meet the needs of the petfam. Further, existing fashion brands and retail-based brands select diverse small-scale dog fashion product brands and expand their operation as a dog lifestyle total selectional shop. Therefore, brands entering the future should consider strategies such as size segmentation, product diversification, and premium price of high-quality materials that help market products such as the expansion or promotion of existing brands.

본 연구는 메타버스 반려견 패션쇼가 지닐 컨셉과 기능을 연구, 개발하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 현재 반려동물 관련 산업이 빠르게 성장하면서 자연스럽게 반려동물 패션산업도 성장하고 있다. 하지만 빠르게 성장하는 패션산업과는 다르게 견주들의 니즈를 충족시키기엔 부족했다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 반려동물 의류 구매 시 발생하는 문제점들은 메타버스를 통해 보완하여 메타버스 반려견 패션쇼를 개발하고자 하였다. 연구 방법으로는 첫째, 실제 반려동물 관련 산업에 대한 상승세와 메타버스 및 가상 패션쇼의 사회적 동향 조사를 실시하였다. 둘째, 사용자 요구분석을 통해 기존 반려견 의류 구매 특성을 살펴보고 견주의 니즈를 도출하였다. 셋째, 이에 적합한 콘텐츠의 형태를 설정하고 메타버스라는 새로운 콘텐츠 소비환경을 분석하여 도출하였다. 마지막으로 견주들에게 만족감을 줄 수 있도록 기능을 도출하여 개발하였다. 향후에는 이를 토대로 실제 반려견 의류 사업과 연결, 명확한 결제 시스템을 연구할 필요가 있다.

This study aims to develop a multi-functional cage for dogs as a house to reduce their anxiety when they go out using cages. This study investigates the types and characteristics of cages and cage preference by surveying men and women in their 20s who use them. The cage product reviews are also analyzed. The research results are as follows: First, domestic dog cages are classified into crate, shoulder, cross (sling bag), backpack, carrier, and stroller types. The crate type is easy to clean and can be used as a house, but it is bulky and therefore inconvenient to carry when using public transportation. The shoulder type is a fabric material with good air permeability but has the disadvantage of being easily soiled. It can be used as a house and is light weight, making it convenient when using public transportation. Second, as a result of consumer research, respondents prefer the shoulder-type fabric over the crate-type plastic material. Third, from the shoulder-type product review, the shape stability, companion dogs' psychological safety, the wearability of companions, and management convenience are derived. Fourth, based on the survey results, a multi-functional cage is developed taking into account the companion dog, companion person, and functional factors.
