Abstract
Influencers have emerged as one of today's most powerful drivers of consumer influence and purchasing power, particularly through collaborations that leverage their unique personalities and tastes to foster emotional resonance with consumers. This study explored how consumers developed brand attachment to influencer collaboration products by examining product characteristics as antecedents and analyzing resulting behavioral responses. It also explored moderating effects of influencer interactivity and group purchasing on the relationship between product characteristics and brand attachment. A survey was conducted with 400 MZ and Millennial consumers who had purchased influencer collaboration products in the past year. Findings revealed that originality, aesthetics, and symbolism of influencer collaboration products significantly impacted brand attachment, whereas scarcity did not. Perceived risk negatively affected brand attachment, while brand attachment positively influenced product attitude, which in turn impacted purchase intention. Interactivity with influencers did not moderate effects of product characteristics (originality, aesthetic, scarcity, symbolism, perceived risk) on brand attachment. However, group purchasing situations significantly moderated the influence of scarcity on brand attachment. This research provides academic contributions to influencer marketing and practical insights for enhancing brand attachment and purchase intention through influencer collaboration strategies.

Abstract
Rapid growth of the internet has significantly influenced fashion trends. The pandemic has emphasized the importance of digital exchanges, leading to the development of advanced technology and robust servers. The use of social media has also increased, reaching 63.8% of the world’s population. Social media, an online platform that allows individuals to be both producers and consumers, has a significant impact on fashion trends. Especially, the 'hashtag' function has facilitated the emergence of 'micro trends.' This study analyzed micro trends that strongly influenced fashion trends over the past 2-3 years, known as the "core trend in depth. While some studies have focused on certain key words of the core trend, no research has systematically organized or analyzed the phenomenon of the "core trend." Since "core trend" is a trend that uses the word 'core,' the definition and origin of the term were explored through a literature review. Characteristics of the MZ generation were then examined using academic materials and online statistics. Definition, characteristics, and time periods of the core trend were then organized using internet statistics and data from fashion-related institutions. A case study was then conducted through technical analysis using Instagram. Finally, selected keywords of the core trend were grouped based on their similar characteristics and form types. As a foundational research paper, interpretive analysis and inferential stages were excluded from this study.

Abstract
This study aimed to identify factors influencing consumers’ attitude and usage intention of mobile laundry services and to provide insights into consumer behavior and service development. Focusing on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), it investigated how clothing involvement influenced perceived ease of use and perceived enjoyment, which subsequently shaped attitudes and usage intentions. Data were collected from 300 participants who had experience of using mobile laundry services through an online research agent. Findings indicated that clothing involvement significantly influenced perceived ease of use and enjoyment, which served as mediators affecting attitudes toward mobile laundry services. These attitudes were pivotal. They fully mediated the relationship between clothing involvement and usage intentions, thus underscoring the crucial role of ease of use and enjoyment in shaping consumer attitudes and intentions. Consumers with high clothing involvement are more likely to find convenience and enjoyment in new services, reinforcing their adoption. Therefore, providing experiences that meet their expectations can encourage long-term usage. From a marketing perspective, mobile laundry service providers can enhance customer satisfaction and build long-term loyalty by developing services that innovative consumers find enjoyable and convenient. This study contributes to the TAM by highlighting the integral role of enjoyment in forming positive attitudes toward emerging tech-based services.

Abstract
With rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence technology, the use of AI tools in the field of fashion design is playing an increasingly important role. However, since AI tends to create based on existing data, there are frequent situations in the creative process where active human intervention is required. This study created fashion designs inspired by the Beijing Opera facial makeup based on the HAIC model and explored the potential for collaboration between AI and humans. Researchers meticulously documented the creative process using AI tools such as ChatGPT and Midjourney and conducted an in-depth analysis of issues that arose during the process as well as corresponding solutions. Furthermore, through literature review, this study established a theoretical foundation for AI-human collaboration and systematically presented respective roles and methods of cooperation between AI and humans through design experiments and problem analyses. Findings revealed that AI contributed to the development of creative ideas by providing abundant visual inspiration in early design stages. However, limitations were observed in the final design stages due to a lack of data and the randomness inherent in AI-generated outputs. In conclusion, human judgment, creative interpretation, and meticulous adjustments are essential throughout the entire design process, although while AI can serve as a valuable tool for improving the efficiency of fashion design.

Abstract
This paper explored multi-brand strategies of China's leading sports fashion companies―Anta, Li-Ning, and Xtep―and analyzed impact of multi-brand strategy on positioning and financial performance of these companies. Factors leading to successful multi-brand strategy in the sportswear industry were also examined. Anta has adopted a "Single Focus, Multi-brand, Globalization" strategy, diversifying its portfolio to include high-performance sportswear, children’s sportswear, and premium outdoor gear, aiming to enhance corporate sales and brand differentiation. Li-Ning, pursuing a "single brand, multi-channel" strategy, focuses on category expansion and brand premiumization, although it faces challenges in brand distinction, particularly post-COVID-19. Xtep has positioned itself as a provider of cost-effective sports apparel while expanding into high-end markets. It struggles with brand positioning and profitability amidst expanding its brand portfolio. These findings suggest that a well-executed multi-brand strategy not only fosters brand growth and diversification, but also enhances competitive advantage in the rapidly evolving sportswear industry.

Abstract
Similarity between actual clothing and CLO 3D virtual clothing appearance of a women's jacket made of wool and poly-blended materials was evaluated on a 5-point scale. Twenty items on silhouette, material, and details were evaluated. Evaluation groups were a designer group and a patterner group. Evaluation results of the two groups were compared and analyzed. The designer gave the highest score of 3.83 to Similarity of collar size, followed by 3.75 points to collar placement shape. The pocket flap shape was given the lowest score of 2.33. The patterner gave the highest score of 3.5 points to fabric thickness and lapel size and the lowest score of 2.42 to shape of the front shoulder point. Results of comparing the two groups for each item showed a difference in average value of 'The shape of the back armhole line appears similar' between the two groups. The silhouette of a jacket can vary greatly depending on the lean and drooping of the upper body. Since this is a clothing item that greatly changes the silhouette, rather than spending a lot of cost to create an avatar, it is necessary to improve the 3D program itself so that the length, circumference, thickness, shoulder slope, and upper body slump and tilt can be adjusted. Designers and patterners' opinions on improving the appearance of this program can be used as a reference for improving the system, thus contributing to the development of the fashion industry.

Abstract
As consumer interest in vegan fashion grows, researchers and marketers have sought to identify potential customers for this specific type of sustainable and environmentally friendly fashion. However, tunderstanding of ethical beliefs that drive consumer acceptance of vegan fashion is still limited. The current study aimed to investigate how individuals’ ethical beliefs could influence attitudes and purchase intentions toward vegan fashion, based on the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). Data of 271 Korean adults aged 20 to 64 years were collected through an online survey. The proposed research model was examined using structural equation modeling. Results revealed that perceived societal benefit and altruism had significant direct and indirect positive effects on attitudes toward vegan fashion and purchase intentions. Additionally, attitudes toward vegan fashion and subjective norms were found to have significant positive relationships with purchase intentions. However, ethical consumption responsibility did not have a significant direct or indirect effect on attitudes or purchase intentions regarding vegan fashion products. These results suggest that, rather than a sense of duty toward ethical consumption, the belief in societal and environmental benefits and altruistic tendencies are more likely to lead to consumer behavior supporting vegan fashion. This study is significant as it explores the emerging domain of vegan fashion, aligning with growing societal interest in non-animal-based materials. By elucidating the role of ethical beliefs in shaping consumer attitudes and behaviors, this study contributes to our understanding of sustainable fashion consumption within the TRA.

Abstract
The use of generative AI in the fashion industry spans various areas, including idea generation, trend analysis, and virtual garment creation. Generative AI is driving innovation in visual fields where creativity is highly valued. In fashion design, AI contributes to enhancing both the creativity and productivity of fashion designers. However, its active adoption depends on how well it aligns with the roles and needs of designers. The purpose of this study was to propose an AI design process that could enable AI to execute design tasks in which fashion designers would develop new designs by modifying cut lines. To establish a collaborative process between designers and AI, an AI-driven fashion design process was developed. Three types of AI-generated fashion designs incorporating cut lines were created using Midjourney. Findings of this study are as follows. First, an AI fashion design process was developed by restructuring competency units of fashion designers in the fashion industry. This process can facilitate the development of unique fashion designs. Second, to integrate design techniques used by fashion designers into AI, various types of prompts are required to effectively communicate the designer’s creative direction to AI. Third, a design derivation process was developed in collaboration with an AI designer capable of utilizing cut-line elements. This resulted in the creation of three types of AI shirt designs. Future research is needed to further refine AI-driven processes and techniques, enabling fashion designers to incorporate AI technology into their overall workflow and actual garment production.
