본 연구의 목적은 최근 패션에서 사용하는 타이포그래피 표현을 개념 미술의 관점에서 분석하고 의미를 밝히는 것이다. 이를 위해 연구의 주요 개념인 타이포그래피와 개념 미술을 이론적으로 고찰하고 개념 미술의 표현 특징인 레디메이드(ready-made), 자료 형식(documentation), 개입(intervention), 언어를 분석의 틀로 패션 타이포그래피에 적용하였다. 결과 레디메이드는 타 브랜드의 시각적 정체성을 차용하거나 변형하는 방식으로 나타나며 자료 형식은 제품에 동어 반복적 혹은 모순적 텍스트를 병치하는 방식으로 활용된다. 개입은 맥락적으로 무관한 브랜드의 시각 아이덴티티를 차용할 때 더욱 복잡한 층위의 의미를 발생시키며 나타난다. 언어는 환경, 윤리적 소비, 젠더 문제 등 동시대의 사회적 이슈에 대한 발언의 도구로 사용된다. 본 연구를 통해 패션 디자인에서 타이포그래피는 효과적인 마케팅 수단이자 사회적 발언의 매체가 될 수 있으며 흥미로운 시각 표현 방식이자 새로운 의미를 발생시킬 수 있는 가능성으로 확대될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
