This study seeks to increase the satisfaction of elderly men when purchasing and wearing ready-to-wear clothes by designing a slacks pattern suitable for their body type, which is determined by analyzing their lower bodies using virtual avatars and 3D virtual simulation system. The study found the following. First, based on virtual visualization of the comparison slacks pattern, the waistline position was consistently the lowest scored question among the evaluation survey items. Interpretation of this dissatisfaction suggests that, because the front waistline falls below the abdomen, the lower body, and especially the abdominal shape, is unpleasantly emphasized. Second, by using a virtual simulation system, the study developed a new slacks pattern that considered the concerns of elderly men. The primary measurement changes were as follows: front waist girth W/4+1.5cm+0.5cm, back waist girth W/4+1.5cm–0.5cm, front hip girth H/4+2.5cm–0.5cm, back hip girth H/4+2.5cm+0.5cm. Third, the new slacks pattern’s appearance was evaluated more highly than the comparison pattern, confirming the new pattern’s appropriateness for elderly men. This study demonstrates how slacks and other clothing patterns designed in a 3D virtual garment simulator can be used to design more appealing clothing for elderly men, increasing the satisfaction of wearing ready-made clothes at older ages.

This study analyzes traditional women’s Hu costumes of the Tang dynasty, and deploys a creative fashion design to converge contemporary and traditional styles. In this costume, women wear a robe with striped or plain patterns in the lower part of the pants, and it appears frequently in red and yellow colors. Depending on the sleeve, it is either a round collar or a turn down collar robe. In the Hu hat, the huntuomao and juanyanxumao were leather and mili and weimao were used to prevent the sand from flowing. This study uses the CLO 3D program with the “moment” theme based on the Hu costume for women to deploy 4 pairs of fashion design and to produce works for 2 pairs. The 3D virtual clothing program demonstrates important effects in design deployment and pattern arrangement through its efficiency and convenience of clothing production. The CLO 3D program was closely combined with the 2D design and the 3D affect, and it heightened the efficiency in saving the processing time and energy of the sample clothes. Through facilitating the 3D digital fashion design, the production may reduce time needed and contribute to an effective economy, and it may compare digital fashion design to actual products as well as illustrate the potential of digital fashion design.

This study explores the possibility of creating new experimental hanbok designs by accommodating the latest world fashion trends and the changing needs of consumers, in order to attempt to overcome the limitations of traditional Korean fashion design. To do so, We analyze works by contemporary Korean fashion designers to investigate current developments in Korean fashion design and to identify areas of improvement within hanbok design. The results show that most contemporary hanbok designs repeat stereotypes of traditional hanbok with minor modifications. So there arises a need to create new hanbok designs that are clearly distinct from traditional hanbok but also maintain its core features. To develop such designs, I apply the techniques of deconstruction fashion, which allow making experiments with form, composition, and materials use to realize new aesthetics. The use of CLO 3D fashion design software also proves to be very efficient for developing experimental designs. The study results make meaningful contributions to the development of virtual clothing and 3D fashion for hanbok, particularly as metaBUS, a cloud-based research synthesis platform, is rapidly gaining ground, and reality and virtual reality are increasingly mixed in everyday life. This attempt at 3D design of hanbok is expected to trigger more creative experimentation in hanbok design.

The purpose of this study is to develop up-cycling fashion design methods centered on discarded denim material for the study of original up-cycling design methods. Up-cycling fashion design work was developed using digital clothing technology. This is a recent hot topic among sustainable fashion design methods. Up-cycling fashion design expression methods (categorized as dismantlement, collages, dépaysement, grafting, weaving, and tearing) were centered on design methods. These methods create various three-dimensional modeling effects in planar forms, whereby five pieces can be applied to the fabric and digitally produced. The results are as follows: First, the use of discarded denim fabric for the development of up-cycling fashion design pieces enabled the recycling of existing resources, provided solutions to environmental pollution problems, and provided expansion opportunities for design processes for sustainable fashion products that expand the design value of denim products and their utility. Second, new eco-friendly fashion designs that attempt to achieve diversity in modern fashion trends could be presented through formative contemporary fashion produced by up-cycling work products. Third, up-cycling fashion design work is expected to provide opportunities for eco-friendly fashion design methods. This will expand the value of sustainable fashion design by recycling simple waste materials through the use of three-dimensional digital clothing technology and further through the presentation of expanded life cycles that extend product planning, production, and life cycles.

여성의 역량이 강조되는 21세기에 팬츠슈트의 다양화를 표현하고 가상착의 디자인 개발을 통해 실제 패션산업의 디자인기획 및 생산과정에 응용하고자 창작의상디자인을 3D 가상착의 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 모던 팬츠슈트룩 디자인을 전개하였다, 이러한 결과, 1. 창작 팬츠슈트디자인을 짧은 시간에 미리 점검할 수 있으므로 상품디자인 및 기획과정 프로세스를 줄일 수 있다. 2. 원단의 드레이프성이나 두께, 밀도 등을 적용하여 원단 가봉과 거의 같은 효과를 거둘 수 있으며 콘셉트에 따른 디자인 및 사이즈 변경등이 용이하며 제작 과정에서 가봉 및 피팅에 대한 시간, 비용, 노력을 경감시킬 수 있다. 3. 디자인 데이터베이스 활용을 통해 글로벌 패션산업시스템에서 수출 및 기술교류의 기회를 확대할 수 있다. 3D 가상 의상 시뮬레이션은 패션 브랜드의 디자인기획에서 시간, 비용을 혁신적으로 경감시킬 수 있는 미래지향적 프로그램이며 결과물을 원형그대로 무제한적으로 보관할 수 있고, 향후 가상 의상을 디지털 패션쇼로 구현했을 때 디자이너가 의도한 콘셉트와 아이디어를 창의적인 영상 효과로 구체화시킬 수 있다. 글로벌 패션산업의 발전과 함께 SPA 브랜드의 발전 및 소비자의 다양한 디자인 욕구등에 부합할 수 있는 창의적이고 빠른 시제품 생산이 요구되는 패션산업 환경을 고려할 때 이러한 가상착의를 활용한 디자인의 효과는 더욱 발전될 것으로 기대된다. 다양한 3D 의상 시뮬레이션을 활용한 실증적 연구를 통해 창의적 의상디자인 개발을 위한 교육 내용의 지침으로서의 의의가 크다고 할 수 있다.
