업사이클링 패션의 조형적 특성 연구

초록

As s sustainability in terms of environment and economy is increasingly drawing attentiondue to the mass production and consumption system of contemporary society, various domestic and foreign brands in the fashion industry are also introducing upcycling fashion. Contemporary upcycling fashion is advancing beyond simple environmental meaning, showing formative characteristics through various modes of expression such as printing, pattern change, and layering. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the formative characteristics of upcycling fashion based on the theory of deconstruction by investigating upcycling fashion at home and abroad until now since 2010 when upcycling fashion first became popular. As a result of investigating upcycling fashion at home and abroad based on three categories of deconstruction perspective—'deconstruction of meaning through material transformation,’ 'deconstruction of form through deviation from composition,’ and 'deconstruction of boundaries through image borrowing’—the following modes of formative characteristics were found. First, in the category of ‘deconstruction of meaning through material transformation,’ it was found that upcycling fashion achieve the effect of experimentation and chance by using disparate materials, visually revealing the meaning of environment and materials contained in fashion and breaking away from fixed ideas about materials. Second, in the category of ‘deconstruction of form through deviation from composition,’ it was found that upcycling fashion show playful expressions that emphasize atypical form such as the use of decorative elements and intentional exaggeration, breaking away from fixed ideas about composition. Third, in the category of ‘deconstruction of boundaries through image borrowing,’ it was found that upcycling fashion emphasize artistry by borrowing rare and humorous images, and display ambiguity by combining images and forms that break down the boundaries between eras and cultures.
