  • Recently, the population of Asian people has increased constantly in the United States., but appearances, culture and thoughts of Asian people are different with Americans in various ways, especially body shapes. Despite the recent developments in apparel size ranges in U. S. A., few changes have been made in sizing for Asian Women. Size ranges designed for Asian Women are not available on the mass market in U. S. A. They have many difficulties in finding clothing that fits well. Especially they do experience such as clothing problems in varying degrees. Therefore this research was designed to investigate the specific clothing problems of Asian Women in relation with size and fit, Asian Women's present means of resolving their clothing problems in U. S. A. 60 Asian Women in Twin cities, Minnesota were interviewed during the period of October, 1991. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics for demographic information on the selected sample and the chi-square test for relationships between the independent variables and clothing problems. The results indicated that most respondents had shopped in a department store and 38.3% of the respondents answered rarely-fit of suit. Also 40% of the respondents answered that pants length was too long. There were significant relationships between the demographic variables i.e. age, marital status, occupation, height and clothing problems of Asian women.

  • Three-dimensional body scanners were used for years in the clothing manufacturing fields. The 3D body surface provide essential data to draft patterns for mass customization, virtual fit model, and computerized patternmaking systems. This research proposed the methods of drafting patterns for men's jacket by using three dimensional body scan data. Eight male subjects were scanned, the surface data was flattened. The differentials of the flattened body surface and the jacket draft were measured, and analyzed the regressions. To verify the fit of the patterns, the jacket was constructed by the regression formulae and tested by experts. The fit of the jacket were significantly improved rather than a ready-made suit especially the shoulder areas. This means that the methods that we proposed were good to improve the fit of the garments and could be used effectively to implement mass customization strategies in the apparel retail industry.

  • 본 연구에서는 시판 중인 디바이스를 활용하여 외관에서는 기성복의 스타일을 유지하면서 기능성을 부여한 노년 여성을 위한 스마트 재킷을 개발하였다. 노년기에 접어들면서 시력은 약화되며 효과적인 체온조절도 저하된다. 이에 열과 빛의 기능을 제공하는 연구재킷을 제작하고 노년층 소비자들의 평가를 실시하여 그 수용가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 재킷에 대한 만족도 평가는 전문가 외관 평가 및 소비자 착용 평가로 실시되었으며 재킷의 피트성, 활동성, 디바이스의 기능성, 수용 가능성 여부 등을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 전반적으로 높은 만족도를 보였으며 노년층에서도 충분히 미적요소와 기능성이 결합된 스마트 의류가 일상복으로 받아들여질 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 여전히 스마트 의류의 문제점 중의 하나인 디바이스의 무게를 경량화 할 수 있는 방법이 모색되어야 할 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 결과가 노년층을 위한 스마트 의복의 가능성과 만족도 향상을 위한 방안을 제시하는 기초 자료가 되기를 바란다.

  • The purpose of this study is to characterize body types of males in their twenties, and to provide information on body types of males by classifying them into groups. In addition, this study attempts to provide ways that can help improve the fit and coverage rate of ready-to-wear clothes by developing an apparel sizing system according to body types. 297 male subjects in their twenties participated in this study. 54 anthropometric and 35 photographic measurements were taken from each subject. After combining the body types of the front and the side into a whole body, we selected typical body types out of the combinations. It is shown that 84.64% of males in their twenties belong to the HI type, H/equation omitted/ type, X/equation omitted/ type, Xl type, Yl type, and HS type. To develop a new size system of clothes, the distribution of sizes was determined by using means and standard deviations for basic parts of each body type. Then, the most optimal sizes were selected separately for each body type to maximize the coverage rate.

  • Y세대는 시장연구에 있어서 많은 흥미를 갖는 세대이다. 이 세대는 1981년에서 1995년에 태어난 사람들로 미국의 역사상 가장 큰 소비자 집단을 이루고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 미국에 있어서 Y세대들이 청바지를 구입할 때 고려하는 결정 요인들과 맞음새 문제에 대한 그들의 관심을 잘 이해하는 것이며, 연구 결과를 통해 미국 의류업체들이 소비자들의 요구를 잘 반영할 수 있도록 기초자료를 제공하려는 것이다. 본 연구 결과, 미국의 Y세대들은 인터넷이나 미디어에 영향을 받기 보다는 또래집단이나 자신들의 직감능력에 더 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 쇼핑 방법에 있어서는 리테일 스토아를 백화점이나 디스카운트 스토아보다 더 선호하였다. 또한, 청바지 구매시 맞음새를 브랜드나 색상보다 더 중요한 결정 요소로 생각했으며 87%가 그런 생각을 갖고 있었다. 맞음새 문제에 있어서 대부분 젊은층인데도 불구하고 바지 길이, 엉덩이앞뒤길이, 허리둘레에 문제가 있다고 하였다. 이 맞음새 문제는 가격대와 사이즈와도 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났으므로 의류 생산 업체들이 다양한 신체 형태와 대상 소비자들의 이해에 관심을 갖을 필요가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

  • Expanding upon Zhang and Kim's (2013) study involving Chinese consumers, this study investigated key factors that influence U.S. consumers' attitude towards purchasing luxury fashion goods and purchase intent and examined what similarities and differences exist between the two consumer groups in relation to the key factors. A total of 414 respondents completed the online survey questionnaire. Structural Equation Modeling was utilized to analyze data. Brand consciousness, materialism, fashion innovativeness, and fashion involvement were significant factors that affect U.S. consumers' attitude towards luxury fashion goods. Overall, the findings of the current study were greatly inconsistent with Zhang and Kim's Chinese study. The inconsistency provides vital implications to luxury fashion retailers by showing that one size does not fit all and one strategy does not fit all markets.

  • The development of computer graphics and Internet technology has created a 3D Web-based virtual world that has transformed the global fashion industry environment. In this study, the application cases of 3D virtual fashion education were analyzed to discuss the necessity and application of a 3D apparel CAD curriculum as part of a special education for global fashion talent at Korean fashion-related colleges. Prior studies, literature, photo data and Internet data (in and out of Korea) were used for this study. The demonstration case studies were conducted for the virtual fashion education 'SLCC 2007' of Buffalo State College (U.S.), 'Ratava's Line (2004)' of SFU/FIT Collaborative Design Project (Canada and U.S.) and '2011 Graduation Fashion Show' of Ueda Fashion College (Japan). The results of the study show that the 3D apparel CAD system (as a core technology of the IT fashion industry) would allow the current mass production concept to change to a new paradigm of 'mass customization' along with new fashion business types that include global fashion companies and Web-based Internet, mobile and virtual-world shopping malls. In addition, it appears that the system should be included in the curriculum of fashion-related colleges and institutes to educate technical designers for the global fashion industry and global fashion talent with comprehensive system operation and management ability, and to promote single proprietor companies.

  • 의류상품의 전자상거래 시장이 확대됨에 따라 인터넷쇼핑에서 의류를 구매할 때 선택한 의류를 착용한 자신의 모습을 확인하는 도구로 가상피팅모델이 제공되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가상피팅모델 구축 시 사용자의 주관적인 체형인식을 반영할 필요가 있는지 알아보기 위하여 여성의 신체 치수나 체형에 대한 인식이 어떻게 다른지 연구하였다. 의류학 전공 여자대학원 50명을 대상으로 실험한 본 연구의 결과는 인체부위에 대한 개인의 치수인식이 체형에 따라 다름을 보여준다. 연구자들은 인터넷 의류 쇼핑용 가상피팅모델을 구축하기 위해서는 사용자 신체치수뿐만 아니라 사용자가 인지하는 자신의 체형특성을 반영할 필요가 있다고 결론지었다 특히 배가 많이 나온 체형도 자신이 실제보다 배가 나오지 않은 체형으로 생각하는 경향이 있으므로 여성이용자에게 거부되지 않는 가상피팅모델을 구축하기 위해서는 지나치게 극단적인 체형의 가상피팅모델의 구축은 신중하게 고려해야함을 시사하였다.
