Abstract
With rising influence of generative AI throughout society recently, the fashion industry is responding by rapidly changing its traditional structure and paradigm from design to production and from distribution to consumer experience. In fact, the fashion industry, where trend forecasting is one of the key factors determining business success, is actively utilizing AI technology to provide consumers with differentiated experiences. Especially, as the virtual fitting market continues to grow annually, virtual fitting services utilizing generative AI to provide unique and personalized customer experiences are attracting attention of many fashion companies. However, few studies have investigated consumer experiences with such services. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the acceptance of these newly launched generative AI-based virtual fitting services from the perspective of consumers using self-congruence as a mediator. Our analysis confirmed that integrating generative AI in virtual fitting services could effectively support user purchases. The role of self-congruity was empirically validated. This study highlights the role and exploratory value of generative AI in the fashion industry. Furthermore, it provides valuable insights for the fashion industry in developing customized marketing strategies to enhance consumer satisfaction and positive attitudes.

Abstract
This study proposed a new approach to nail art design by fusing fashion textile design elements with digital nail devices and expanding possibilities of nail art expression. Based on an analysis of expressive characteristics of motifs found in fashion collections, designs were created using Nail Pop, a digital nail device. Four works were produced for each characteristic using nail art techniques such as hand painting, flat nail art, and 3D art. Results of this study are as follows. First, four elements―symmetry, repetition, continuity, and complexity―were identified as motif representation characteristics of fashion textile designs that could be applied to nail art design, demonstrating their practical applicability. Second, it was confirmed that nail art design using digital nail devices could enable rapid and precise implementation of complex patterns in fashion textile design. Third, by reflecting the latest trends in nail art design by fusing fashion textile design and nail art, nail art could be used as a fashion component beyond a simple beauty element, expanding into a design element that could enhance the overall fashion style. This study is significant in that it presents a new direction for nail art design by integrating textile design with digital nail devices. Future research that combines advanced digital technologies in the nail industry with various fashion textile design characteristics could serve as a valuable foundation to develop a creative and innovative approach not only in the nail industry, but also in related fields.

Abstract
This study applied ideal conditions of participatory public art identified through prior research to a real community-based project and empirically examined their effectiveness through participant interviews and behavioral observations. Using the ‘Three Forget-me-not Blossoms’ project as a case study, this research explored how participants engaged in the creative process and what emotional or perceptual changes occurred. Findings showed that participants acted not as passive viewers, but as active contributors who helped realize the social value of participatory public art. Voluntary and collaborative participation, along with a sense of authorship and responsibility, increased emotional attachment and willingness to re-engage. When individuals saw themselves as co-creators, the project effectively fostered empathy, communication, and community solidarity. These results suggest that participatory public art can serve as a meaningful platform for civic engagement and social connection. The study provides practical insights for designing and sustaining future participatory public art initiatives based on both theory and practice.

Abstract
De-influencers have emerged to highlight negative aspects of consumption and challenge consumers to reconsider their purchasing behaviors. Their contents are highly visible and engaging, significantly impacting the influencer market. This study investigated effects of information quality and credibility of de-influencers with negative opinions on perceived usefulness and attitudes towards de-influencers. An online survey was conducted with a convenience sample of individuals in their 20s and 30s who had experience of following influencers. A 5-point Likert scale adapted from previous studies was used to measure perceived information quality (timeliness, playfulness, vividness, accuracy, novelty), perceived usefulness, attitudes towards de-influencers, and the credibility of information providers (trust, expertise). A total of 195 responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics and factor analysis in SPSS 29.0. Additionally, Smart PLS 4.0 was used to test the research model. Information quality theory was applied to de-influencers to derive information quality dimensions (timeliness, playfulness, vividness, accuracy, novelty). Among these dimensions, playfulness and novelty were identified as important factors that could enhance the perceived usefulness of de-influencers. Significant direct effects of de-influencers’ credibility (trust, expertise) on their perceived usefulness were found. This study also identified mediating effects of usefulness in relationships between playfulness, novelty, credibility, expertise, and attitudes toward de-influencers. Findings of the study provide meaningful insights for influencer marketing, particularly in understanding the role of de-influencers in shaping consumer perceptions and behaviors.

Abstract
This study examined the fit, satisfaction, and discomfort of laboratory clothing based on laboratory field, research experience, work hazard level, and gender to develop functional designs. Results indicated that satisfaction varied by field, with the chemistry sector reporting the most discomfort in underarm and arm areas, while the food sector showed high discomfort in the back area. Researchers with longer experience had higher expectations for functionality. Those working in high-risk environments reported lower satisfaction in functionality and safety. To address these issues, customized designs based on laboratory environments, enhanced protective features, improved durability, and ergonomic patterns considering body characteristics are necessary. High-risk environments required protective fabrics with chemical and heat resistance, while frequently worn areas such as elbows and knees needed reinforced durability. In addition, gender differences should be reflected in pattern designs, offering both unisex and gender-specific options. Adjustable sizing and ergonomic structures are also essential to accommodate diverse body types. This study provides meaningful insights by analyzing real laboratory workers’ experiences. However, it did not fully address field-specific laboratory clothing characteristics. Future research should focus on developing specialized designs tailored to different laboratory conditions to enhance functionality and comfort.

Abstract
This study analyzed the expressive and aesthetic characteristics of Paolo Roversi’s fashion photography, one of the world’s top three fashion photographers. As a research method, 315 of Roversi’s photographs published in British, Italian, and Parisian Vogue magazines from 2010 to 2024 were examined. Expert focus group interviews were conducted to classify key images, and an analysis framework was developed based on prior research to systematically assess each image. The findings revealed that Roversi’s fashion photography is primarily characterized by three dominant image styles: fantasy, which evokes a sense of dreamlike mystery; gothic, which conveys darkness, madness, and themes of death; and grotesque, which blends surreal and eerie elements. Additionally, four key aesthetic qualities emerged: ambivalence, reflecting the coexistence of opposing emotions; sensuality, capturing the mesmerizing beauty of the human body; mystery, achieved through dreamy colors and faded moods using light painting techniques; and melancholy, expressed through dark tones, low-key lighting, and irregular illumination to evoke inner solitude. This study serves as a foundational reference for fashion photography and brand promotion strategies, offering insight into Roversi’s unique visual language and its impact on contemporary fashion imagery.
