As changes in social and economic paradigms are accelerating, and non-contact has become the new normal due to the COVID-19 pandemic, metaverse services that build societies in online activities and virtual reality are spreading rapidly. This study analyzes the perception and trend of metaverse fashion using big data. TEXTOM was used to extract metaverse and fashion-related words from Naver and Google and analyze their frequency and importance. Additionally, structural equivalence analysis based on the derived main words was conducted to identify the perception and trend of metaverse fashion. The following results were obtained: First, term frequency(TF) analysis revealed the most frequently appearing words were "metaverse," "fashion," "virtual," "brand," "platform," "digital," "world," "Zepeto," "company," and "game." After analyzing TF-inverse document frequency(TF-IDF), "virtual" was the most important, followed by "brand," "platform," "Zepeto," "digital," "world," "industry," "game," "fashion show," and "industry." "Metaverse" and "fashion" were found to have a high TF but low TF-IDF. Further, words such as "virtual," "brand," "platform," "Zepeto," and "digital" had a higher TF-IDF ranking than TF, indicating that they had high importance in the text. Second, convergence of iterated correlations analysis using UNICET revealed four clusters, classified as "virtual world," "metaverse distribution platform," "fashion contents technology investment," and "metaverse fashion week." Fashion brands are hosting virtual fashion shows and stores on metaverse platforms where the virtual and real worlds coexist, and investment in developing metaverse-related technologies is under way.

At a time when the direction of the middle and high school curriculum is being discussed in line with the change in the future education paradigm to the 4th industrial revolution and the post-COVID-19 era, this study attempted to establish the identity of middle and high school clothing life education by exploring the clothing life contents with content analysis method and analyzing the 'clothing life industry' related educational content of the curriculum revision period. Following the revision of the curriculum, the contents related to the middle and high school 'clothing life industry' were not systematic. In the 2022 revised curriculum, the 'clothing life industry' and the digital fashion industry are presented as content related to the 'clothing life industry', so it is expected that the textbooks implemented in the educational field in the future will mention specific content about this. In addition, research on the direction of sustainable clothing life is also needed because the 'clothing life industry' can be an important cause of environmental pollution from production to consumption. Above all, it is expected that follow-up studies will be conducted to enhance the value of clothing life education in the future in the reality that the awareness of middle and high school clothing life education is low.

Fashion trends are actively disseminated through social media, which influences both their propagation and consumption. This study explored how users perceive subversive basic fashion in social media videos, by examining the associated concepts and characteristics. In addition, the factors contributing to the style's social media dissemination were identified and its distinctive features were analyzed. Through text mining analysis, 80 keywords were selected for semantic network and CONCOR analysis. TF-IDF and N-gram results indicate that subversive basic fashion involves transformative design techniques such as cutting or layering garments, emphasizing the body with thin fabrics, and creating bold visual effects. Topic modeling suggests that this fashion forms a subculture that resists mainstream norms, seeking individuality by creatively transforming the existing garments. CONCOR analysis categorized the style into six groups: forward-thinking unconventional fashion, bold and unique style, creative reworking, item utilization and combination, pursuit of easy and convenient fashion, and contemporary sensibility. Consumer actions, linked to social media, were shown to involve easily transforming and pursuing personalized styles. Furthermore, creating new styles through the existing clothing is seen as an economic and creative activity that fosters network formation and interaction. This study is significant as it addresses language expression limitations and subjectivity issues in fashion image analysis, revealing factors contributing to content reproduction through user-perceived design concepts and social media-conveyed fashion characteristics.
