The interlacing technique has a long history of use as a means of creative expression and persists in modern society to satisfy the individual pursuit of pastimes. This method has the developmental potential to create new trends in the future. Interlacing techniques (e.g., basketry, plaiting, braiding, and knotting) are closely related to plastic arts fields, architecture, art, and industrial design where the various interlacing practices are applied. This research uses case analysis to study the types of expression found in the formative art field wherein the interlacing technique is applied. Results reveal several expressions, including optical illusion visual type, relief surface type, porous perspective type, and object borrowing type, all of which appeared in fashion bags. The aesthetic formativeness, which appeared in the fashion bags that applied interlacing techniques, was then classified according to geometric formative beauty in a process based on rules and order. Nature-friendly formative beauty reflecting handicraft locality and omnidirectional formative beauty by disordered deconstruction and heterogeneous combination were determined. The use of interlacing techniques that show creative, unique combinations and variations is expected to inspire the development and application of bag design that suits individual and original modern fashion trends. One limitation of this thesis is that it only studied cases appearing in modern fashion bags.

As a cultural feature of, the relics of the Royal Tomb of King Muryeong are suitable design content for applying with sophisticated production and delicate molding laser cutting techniques. The purpose of this study is to develop modern bag designs using relics of the Royal Tomb of King Muryeong of Baekje using laser-cutting techniques. First, the historical background and meaning of Baekje’s cultural content were explored. Second, the principle of laser-cutting techniques were explored, laser-cutting techniques applied to modern fashion and bag design were examined, and bag design characteristics were analyzed. Third, based on prior research, the criteria for the development of bag design, from which eight bag design were developed that combine modern popularity and functionality utilizing Baekje cultural content and using laser-cutting techniques to apply the textile design developed by researchers in 2013 (modified to match laser-cutting techniques). The research results show that bag were clutch, tote, shoulder, and mini. Gold, silver, brown, beige, and navy colors were arranged, based on black/white contrast. Cow, lambskin, washed snakeskin, mesh, and Saffiano leather were used. For the pattern-applying technique, this study showed that a new digital technique, which is laser-cutting techniques could be combined with contemporary bag designs. Moreover, a bag design was developed that has a modern sense and functionality as well as Korean formativeness, which is significant.

The purpose of this study is to provide ideas for the development of bag design by analyzing the expression types and aesthetic formativeness of modern bag design using tassels and fringe given the newtro trend pursuing analog sensitivity in modern society. The methods and scope of this study are as follows. First, the related literature and internet data were reviewed in order to examine the expression types and characteristics of the bags of the West and East. Next, the definition and characteristics of tassel and fringe decoration in terms of the history of clothing were analyzed. Finally, the expression types and aesthetic formativeness of tassels and fringe were derived through the analysis of modern bag design shown in the fashion collections since 2010. The bags decorated with the tassels and fringe bring a variety of visual effects depending on the attachment position, direction and material composition, concentrating the gaze and radiating original style. In this study, the expression of tassels and fringe in modern bag design was classified into three types: surface decoration, shape variability, and object combination. Next, the aesthetic formativeness of modern bag design using tassels and fringe as decorative elements appeared through the mixture of heterogeneous materials and playfulness through imagination, exaggeration through extension of length and volume, and retro characteristics through reinterpretation of tradition. This study is expected to contribute to creative ideas of modern bag design which requires a global sense, which has been used in various cultures for a long time.

This study examined the risk components and risk types perceived in the context of purchasing decisions of paper fashion products. This study also identified the levels of perceived risk by consumers and the differences between age groups in risk perception. First, qualitative data were collected through a focus group interview with 7 Korean females in their 20s to 50s. The interviewees were presented with two types of paper materials (undyed and dyed Jumchi-Hanji) and products (bags and wallets) made with the papers. The interviewees mentioned 11 risk components which were classified into five types of risks: performance (easily torn/lack of durableness, lint/pilling/wear-out, lack of water-resistant, no washability, and deformation and discoloration over time), social-psychological (old and traditional image), aesthetic (lack of design diversity, unsatisfactory appearance due to repair), financial (expensive price, lack of usability in daily life) and time/convenience (difficulty in handling) risks. Based on the results of the interview, a measurement for evaluating the risk perception of paper fashion products was developed. Second, quantitative data were collected from 64 Korean women in their 20s to 50s using the measurement. Respondents who were presented with the paper materials and the products perceived the performance risk more strongly than the social-psychological risk and aesthetic risk. In addition, differences between age groups were found: younger respondents perceived performance risk and social-psychological risk more strongly than older respondents, but older respondents perceived financial risk more than younger respondents. Based on this study, strategies for the risk reduction of paper fashion products were proposed.

목적 : 초등학교 학생들이 메고 다니는 책가방 무게와 종류에 대해 알아보고, 체중에 비례한 책가방 무게의 비율과 책가방무게로 기인하는 통증의 경험을 조사 하는 것이다. 연구방법 : 본 연구는 강원도 원주시에 소재한 1개의 초등학교에서 513명의 학생을 대상으로 실시하였다. 등교시 학생들의 책가방 무게와 몸무게, 책가방의 유형, 사물함 사용 여부, 통증 유/무를 조사하였다. 책가방 무게는 저울로 측정하였고 학생들의 몸무게는 학교 자료를 이용하였으며, 그 외의 정보는 인터뷰를 통하여 자료를 수집하였다. 자료 입력 및 분석은 SPSS 윈도우 버전 12.0을 사용하였다. 결과 : 실험에 참여한 학생 중에서 남녀 학생 비율은 여학생이 225명(43.86%), 남학생이 288명(56.14%)이였다. 사물함을 사용하는 학생은 388명(75.63%)이였고, 사물함을 거의 사용하지 않거나 사용하지 않는 경우는 125명(24.37%)이었다. 책가방으로 인해 통증을 경험한 학생은 226명(44.05%)이었으며, 책가방 유형은 양쪽 어깨에 메는 유형이 478명(93.18%), 한쪽 어깨에 메는 유형이 11명(2.14)%이였고, 손으로 드는 유형이 23명(4.48%)이였다. 바퀴가 달린 가방을 사용하는 학생은 단 1명뿐(0.19%)이었다. 학생들이 들고 다니는 평균 책가방의 무게는 3.91 kg으로 학년이 올라 갈수록 증가하였으며 체중에 대한 평균 책가방 무게의 비율은 12.30%였다. 결론 : 본 연구를 통하여 초등학교 학생들의 책가방 무게가 체중에 비해 무거웠으며 통증과의 상관관계는 없었다. 과중한 책가방무게가 잠재적으로 학생들의 근골격계통에서의 문제를 야기 시킬 수 있기에 이를 예방하기 위한 교육적, 인간공학적, 사회와 부모의 관심이 필요하다고 사료된다.

세계화, 국제화, 글로벌화라는 단어가 하나의 트렌드로 자리 잡고, 각국의 국가 경제가 세계경제로 통합되면서 문화적 정체성을 가진 상품을 개발하는 것은 세계시장에서 국가 경쟁력을 만드는 중요한 사항이 되었다. 경제의 시대를 넘어 문화의 시대로 표현되는 21세기에서 문화는 국가의 국제 경쟁력을 갖추게 하는 하나의 중요한 매개체가 되기 때문에 한국문화가 세계시장에서 주목을 받으며 활동 반경을 넓혀가고 있는 현 시점에서 한국문화를 상품화하는 연구는 필요한 과제가 되었 다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국의 전통문양을 이용하여 문화상품으로 가방디자인을 개발하고 제작하였다. 이를 위해, 첫째, 문화상품과 전통문양에 대한 정확한 개념과 특징, 한국의 전통문양이 가지고 있는 특징과 본 연구에서 사용되는 전통문양 의 의미를 살펴보고, 둘째, 전통문양을 이용한 새로운 패턴을 개발하고, 이를 실크 스크린 프린팅을 이용하여 한국 전통의 복 소재인 주단에 리프린팅함으로써 새로운 패브릭으로 변형시켰다. 셋째, 리디자인한 패브릭을 이용하여 트렌드에 맞고, 실용성이 가미된 문화상품으로 가방 디자인을 개발하고 제작하였다. 이를 통해 본 연구자는 한국의 전통문양과 소재를 현 대적으로 재해석하고 현대인의 라이프스타일을 고려한 가방디자인을 개발함으로써 고부가가치를 창출할 수 있는 문화상품으로서의 가능성을 제시하고자 한다.
