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.
