다기능 의류의 조형 특성과 표현 형태에 관한 연구

초록

As sustainability has become a central concern in the fashion industry, clothing design has shifted from being purely aesthetic to an integrated approach that emphasizes functional adaptability, structural variability, and efficient use. Multifunctional clothing, which combines practicality and flexibility, aligns well with the goals of sustainable design. This study investigates design methodologies for multifunctional clothing and systematically analyzes its formal characteristics and modes of design expression, providing theoretical foundations and design guidance for sustainable fashion practices. Using collections presented at international fashion weeks from 2014 S/S to 2024 F/W as research samples, the study systematically analyzes silhouettes, color schemes, materials, patterns, and design details. By integrating cross-frequency statistics of expressive characteristics and representational forms, it elucidates the structural features and evolutionary trends of multifunctional clothing. The results reveal that multifunctional clothing is predominantly characterized by H-line silhouettes. In terms of color, achromatic and neutral palettes are most commonly used. Functional and composite fabrics are the primary materials employed. Designers frequently incorporate adjustable, open-close, and detachable structures to facilitate dynamic transformations in garment form and function. Multifunctional clothing achieves flexible transitions in use and wearing configurations through structural strategies such as layering, open/close mechanisms, detachability, reversibility, positional transformation, and modular combination. Ultimately, this study highlights the innovative potential of multifunctional clothing design in extending garment lifecycles and enabling adaptability across various wearing scenarios.
