Sports activities, such as jumping and running, pose a high injury risk to lower leg muscles, particularly the calf and ankle. Taping therapy or wearing a protector can prevent injuries and improve performance. Electromyography (EMG) devices and smart clothing are utilized to check the load, fatigue, and condition of muscles. This study aims to develop a calf protector with taping therapy and an EMG device to prevent injuries. Four calf protectors were designed: (A) polyester-based elastic fabric with a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)-based adhesive film; (B) nylon-based elastic fabric with a TPU-based adhesive film; (C) polyester- based elastic fabric with a silicone film; and (D) nylon-based elastic fabric with a silicone film. Furthermore, %MVC, clothing pressure, wearability evaluation, and exercise comfort test were assessed in five participants (height = 174.4 cm, calf circumference = 37.2 cm). Results indicated a significant reduction in %MVC while wearing A during walking and running, demonstrating its effectiveness in supporting and stabilizing the calf muscles and ankle joint. All four protectors met the acceptable clothing pressure levels. A received the highest rating for ease of wear in the comfort evaluation. A and B received high evaluations in the exercise comfort assessment, particularly A's performance while running.

Although retail industy including the fashion sector encompasses a range of stores sizes from large to small, existing literature offers inconsistent views about the relationship between large-sized and small-sized retail stores. This study aimed to cluster retail districts in Seoul based on the location and sales data of large-sized and small-sized retail stores, employing the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) as a kind of machine learning approaches. The results revealed major retail clusters by sales, location, and store sizes, and the descriptive characteristics of these clusters, such as, land price, living population, and the number of subway lines. These clusters were then further divided into three categories: mutually dominant clusters, large-sized store dominant clusters, and small-sized store dominant clusters. The results show which retail districs are more advantageous for one of the store sizes or for both, thus providing an empirical, data-driven insight to develop optimal location strategies for retailers and policy-makers.
This study examined the role of subcultural capital in shaping vintage fashion through an empirical case study of Bode, a contemporary menswear brand celebrated for its historical references, artisanal craftsmanship, and community engagement. A multimethod approach was employed, incorporating a literature review, thematic analysis of Bode’s collections from 2017 to 2024, and an investigation of digital consumer interactions and community practices. The findings demonstrated how Bode’s use of rare vintage fabrics, traditional craftsmanship, and personalized storytelling positions its garments as cultural artifacts rather than mere clothing. Furthermore, digital storytelling and the avoidance of conventional marketing tactics foster a sense of exclusivity and insider status for its audience. The study identified four key themes in Bode’s subcultural capital approach: Exclusivity, belonging, and community; Authenticity and cultural distinction: fashion hierarchies and superior complex; Beyond fashion: archiving and collecting fashion; and Resistance to mainstream fashion. These findings highlight how Bode leverages subcultural capital to sustain its distinctive identity and create cultural and social value in the changing fashion landscape.
This study aims to analyze the current state of sustainable fashion education in Korean universities and propose improvements by examining the curricula of global fashion institutions ranked high in the QS World University Rankings and of all four-year clothing/fashion-related departments and graduate programs in Korea during the 2023 academic year. The analysis revealed that global institutions not only offer sustainability-related courses and programs, but also enhance sustainable fashion practices through collaborations with NGOs and fashion companies. In contrast, Korean universities offer few sustainability-related courses for undergraduates and even graduates, these courses focus more on theory than practical application. While natural dyeing and sustainable design courses are relatively common in Korea, comprehensive sustainability courses covering the entire fashion production process are rare. The review of 73 departments showed that sustainability courses are more prevalent at the graduate level, with regional disparities. To become global leaders in sustainable fashion education, Korean universities must offer more sustainability-related courses, integrate opportunities for practical experiences, and strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration.

This study analyzes the historical value of the Gyeonyang of a dragon-patterned Jikgeum Dang-ui, preserved at the Academy of Korean Studies; and establishes dragon-patterned Jikgeum silk as a distinct type of ceremonial attire for royal women. Using information derived from the Gyeonyang, the study identifies the background, composition, and weaving techniques associated with production of the dragon-patterned silk. The dimensions and patterns of the fabric were estimated using existing royal artifacts, and the Dang-ui was visually reconstructed. Furthermore, 3D virtual dressing technology was used to digitally restore a complete ensemble of royal ceremonial attire, including the Dang-ui, Samhoejang Jeogori, Daeran Chima, Hwagwan, and Binyeo. During reconstruction, a new silk expression technique was applied to enhance the accuracy of the textile restoration. This study rediscovers the historical importance of Gyeonyang and highlights a previously unexplored type of royal dragon-patterned silk Dang-ui. By broadening the scope of research on royal silk ceremonial attire, this study provides essential foundational material for the digitization, education, and exhibition of cultural heritage items, including traditional Korean clothing.

This study focuses on challenges and opportunities posed by implementation of the Digital Product Passport (DPP) in the textiles, apparel, and fashion (TAF) industry. Through a systematic review of academic literature and government reports published primarily after 2019, the research explores the potential of the DPP as a tool for tracking product lifecycles and supporting global trends toward sustainability. The study also investigates the DPP-related regulations and legal frameworks of major EU trading partners, identifying shared priorities such as data sovereignty and extended producer responsibility. Through a comparative legal analysis, the research highlights gaps between the current regulatory and operational frameworks in other countries and those within the Korean TAF industry. Key findings demonstrate that leading countries are establishing producer-driven platforms to implement DPP systems, focusing on data sovereignty as a foundation for competitiveness. We propose strategies for Korea’s TAF industry to align with global regulatory trends, including enhancing producer responsibility, developing digital infrastructure, and using DPP data for business innovation. These insights aim to guide Korean companies in effectively responding to evolving global regulations and strengthening their competitive edge.

Anti-wrinkle Effect and Appearance Performance Change of Raw Silk Fabrics Using Eco-friendly Mechanical ‘Dadeumi’ Processing 친환경 기계적 다듬이 가공에 의한 생사 직물의 구김 방지 효과 및 외관 성능 변화
Anti-wrinkle Effect and Appearance Performance Change of Raw Silk Fabrics Using Eco-friendly Mechanical ‘Dadeumi’ Processing 친환경 기계적 다듬이 가공에 의한 생사 직물의 구김 방지 효과 및 외관 성능 변화
In this study, we investigated the changes in sericin contents, anti-wrinkle effect, surface morphology, stiffness, drapeability, and glossiness though mechanical ‘Dadeumi’ processing, a modernized version of the traditional Korean method of finishing fabrics by beating them with a bat, on raw silk fabrics mainly used in Hanbok. Mechanical processing eliminated 1-2% of sericin, flattening and widening the fibers and densifying the fabric structure. There was no change in strength, but the elongation ability decreased. Raw silk fabrics had an anti-wrinkle effect through the “Dadeumi” processing, and the effect of treatment was stronger for fabrics with lower density. Additionally, the flexibility, drapeability, and whiteness of raw silk fabrics improved. “Dadeumi” processing combines the effects of refining and sericin fixation processing, and it can be considered eco-friendly because it is a physical rather than chemical procedure. It is expected that the raw silk fabric obtained through the “Dadeumi” processing will maintain the rigid properties required for Hanbok while reducing wrinkles and increasing flexibility and drapeability, thereby increasing its usability as Hanbok.
The Impact of Digital Twin Displays and Sustainability Messaging on Consumers’ Product Evaluations in Online Retail 디지털 트윈 전시 방식과 지속가능성 메시지가 소비자의 패션 제품 평가에 미치는 효과
The Impact of Digital Twin Displays and Sustainability Messaging on Consumers’ Product Evaluations in Online Retail 디지털 트윈 전시 방식과 지속가능성 메시지가 소비자의 패션 제품 평가에 미치는 효과
This study investigated how product display types and sustainability messaging influence consumers’ cognitive and affective evaluations, as well as their purchase intentions. Study 1 compared three types of fashion product displays: (1) physical product display, (2) digital twin display (undisclosed), and (3) digital twin display (disclosed). The results showed no significant differences in cognitive and affective evaluations between physical product displays and undisclosed digital twin displays. However, evaluations were significantly lower for disclosed digital twin displays. Study 2 employed a 2(display type: physical vs. disclosed digital twin) × 2(sustainability messaging: present vs. absent) between-subjects experimental design. Results indicated a significant indirect and interaction effect: product display type markedly influenced purchase intention through the mediating roles of cognitive and affective evaluations. Additionally, a significant interaction effect was observed. Sustainability messaging did not affect evaluations of physical displays but significantly enhanced evaluations of digital twin displays, aligning them with those of physical displays. These findings highlight the role of digital twin displays and sustainability messaging in improving consumer experiences and perceptions within the increasingly digitalized fashion market.

Improving the Stability and Wearability of a Lower Extremity Walking-Assistance Exoskeleton Robot 하지 보행 보조 외골격 로봇의 안정성 설계 및 착용성 향상 방안
박소영 Soyoung Park , 박선희 Sunhee Park , 엄란이 Rani Eom , 이예진 Yejin Lee
This study systematically designed a lower extremity exoskeleton robot, evaluated its structural stability, and enhanced its wearability. An exoskeleton for walking assistance was initially created and confirmed via structural analysis simulations. The exoskeleton showed strong stability and fit, but users experienced discomfort in the thighs and calves. Thus, four cushioning bands of varying thicknesses were created. Subjective evaluations identified a 3-mm band as optimal for muscle comfort, pressure distribution, and contact area, although thermal discomfort remained. Accordingly, the hole sizes in the 3-mm band were adjusted to improve ventilation. A 1.5-cm hole size offered the best mix of comfort, pressure distribution, and thermal relief. Surface temperature measurements further confirmed that the 1.5-cm hole effectively reduced thigh and calf temperatures after 20 minutes of exercise. These findings highlight the need for integrating ergonomic design and user-centered comfort features in exoskeleton development, especially for long-term users and rehabilitation patients, to improve usability and safety.

This paper examines the second year of Beomil clothing manufacturing support center’ living lab operation - an experimental plan that implemented a “1:1 mentoring program between elderly technicians and young people.” The goal of this study was to identify a 1:1 educational method that could train clothing manufacturing technicians capable of high-level employment or starting a business through living lab experimental research. We developed an in-depth education program proposed by participants through in-depth interviews and workshops(co-creation), and conducted 4 weeks pilot operation(experimental research). Over the course of the process we revised, supplemented, and refined the program (prototype advancement) by reflecting the gain points, pain points, and emotions of participants. This process resulted in the development of high-level educational models and guidelines to train clothing manufacturing technicians. Solutions to related challenges, such as helping cloth manufacturing technicians start their own businesses, and attracting young trainees to the education program, were also identified. This paper ultimately describes the roles of living lab members, the operational plan of living lab discovered in this study. In the end, this paper suggests the roles of living lab members and the operational plans discovered during the study.

An Analysis of the Effect of Short-Form Sustainable Fashion Advertising by Message Type 지속가능한 패션 숏폼 광고 메시지 유형에 따른 광고 커뮤니케이션 효과 분석
As awareness of environmental concerns continues to grow, sustainable fashion has emerged as a significant global issue. This study classified sustainable fashion advertisements into positive and negative message types and analyzed their effect on brainwaves. The study featured 38 female participants with an average age of 22 years. Participants’ brainwaves were monitored as they watched four fashion ads, which were then followed by a survey. The data gathered from the brainwave monitor was analyzed using SPSS 26.0. Stabilized brainwaves in advertising message types showed differences in Beta L, prefrontal asymmetry in Gamma waves, and AF3/AF4 activation differences in the left hemisphere. For advertising attitude, purchase intention, and sustainability evaluation, stabilized brainwaves showed differences in Alpha, Beta H, Beta L, and Gamma waves, with prefrontal asymmetry and AF3/AF4 activation, primarily in the left hemisphere. The effect of advertising message types on purchase intention and sustainability evaluation was partially supported. The significance of this study lies in the empirical analysis of the effect of fashion advertisement messaging using neuroscientific methods. These findings contribute to the development of effective advertising communication strategies and provide theoretical and practical implications for the ongoing evolution of marketing strategies in sustainable fashion.

This study examines how different types of personalized washing machine course recommendation systems influence both consumers’ perceptions of their utilitarian and hedonic values and recommendation acceptance. A comparative analysis of recommendation types―content-based filtering, collaborative filtering, and knowledge-based filtering―using an online scenario-based experiment with 225 participants showed that content-based filtering elicited the highest levels of both utilitarian and hedonic value perceptions, and also resulted in the most favorable acceptance of recommendations. In contrast, collaborative filtering produced the lowest levels across all consumer response variables. Furthermore, the analysis revealed that privacy concerns moderate the effect of recommendation system type on acceptance: consumers with high privacy concerns were more likely to accept recommendations from the knowledge-based system than from the others. These findings highlight the importance of aligning recommendation logic with user privacy sensitivity. This study offers theoretical insights into consumer responses to algorithmic curation and provides practical guidance for designing effective, privacy-aware personalization in home appliance services.
