The Clothing Construction Research Laboratory investigates the needs of the wearer in order to manufacture adequate clothing for varied body types and sizes, while conducting studies on body sizes, body type analysis, development of clothing pattern for each body type, and wearing assessment. In addition, the Center studies sewing, fitting, and quality assessment, which are executed by technical designers in clothing manufacturing industry. Technologies such as 3D body scanning, 3D clothing simulation, and pattern CAD may be used in researching clothing construction.

Our research group is to explore the textile-based science & technology for sustainable fashion. We focus on studies such as “the advanced care system for textile products”, “sustainable textiles and fashion”, and “development of functional textiles and their clothing application”. We believe that these studies could contribute to human well-being and sustainable development.

The Fashion Design Research Laboratory focuses on theoretical research on creative fashion design and practical design development. This laboratory analyzes and evaluates phenomena that occur during the fashion design process from creative thinking to actual production. It develops fashion designs suitable for the modern industry, and conducts research that proposes the future fashion direction by fusing fashion designs with various technologies and other industrial fields.

One of the main objectives of the Traditional Costume Laboratory is to research the history of costume. Further our goal is to take a holistic view of traditional costume by examining the roles it plays in Korean culture and society. The Traditional Costume laboratory teaches practical as well as theoretical aspects of traditional costume. Through our education, students are able to develop a high level of expertise in the field. With the theoretical and historical coursework, the lab cultivates experts who are capable of not only restoring traditional costume and ornaments based on research but also creatively re-interpreting the costume according to contemporary society. Finally, the lab also aims to provide the public with proper information on traditional costume. We hope that our efforts will ultimately contribute to the development of culture-related industries by utilizing the knowledge of our traditional costume.
