현대패션에 나타난 트랜스포머블 소재의 미적특성 연구

초록

The purpose of this study is to identify the type of transformable textiles and their aesthetic characteristics by analyzing the case studies of having those textiles created through a combination of fashion and technology incorporated into contemporary fashion. The research methodologies adopted include studying literature textiles, including relevant books and journals at home and abroad, major websites in fashion industry, fashion collections, news articles and case studies focused on visual textiles drawn from fashion books. The scope of this study runs the gamut from early 2000s when transformable fashions combined with technology came into surface in earnest to today. The research findings are as follows. First, the concept of being ‘transformable’ and the background of its appearance have been explained by de-constructivism of post modernism and a combination between fashion and technology. Second , transformable textiles have been classified into self-transformation, awareness of surrounding environment, and user interaction before analyzing their characteristics, respectively. The study has found that the aesthetic characteristics shown in contemporary fashion have been expressed in multilateral indeterminacy, visual pleasure, complex ornamentation, and 3-dimensional spatiality. First, multilateral indeterminacy has been expressed in open form that is to be completed freely depending on users and environment. Second, visual pleasure has turned out to bring interest from a brand new form and totally unexpected surprise. Third, complex ornamentation has been built in a new aesthetic quality obtained through a mix & match of heterogeneous textiles. Fourth, 3-dimensional spatiality has been shown in the cubic effect and spatial sense shown in two-dimensional flat textiles. These analysis results are expected to be utilized as the basic guideline to provide a framework for understanding and utilization of transformable textiles unlike previous studies mostly focused on transformable design itself while providing the possibility and vision of creative modeling sense with the use of human synaesthesia by examining the aesthetic characteristics of transformable textiles in fashion.
