제로 웨이스트 커팅 패션 디자인 사례 연구

Nowadays, environmental pollution issues caused by development of technology and economic affluence are considered seriously. Therefore countries and industries are continuing their efforts to solve these problems. And “Sustainability is the 21st century’s new design paradigm for realizing the environmental protection. Although zero waste cutting fashion design is a way of realizing sustainability in fashion area, related researches are deficient. Thus the purpose of this research is to provide the basic guideline for zero waste cutting fashion design. For this, literature research and empirical case study are proceeded. First, literature research about sustainable fashion design and zero waste cutting were reviewed and the examples used zero waste cutting were analyzed. In the result, material and design used in zero waste cutting fashion design are not much different from ready to wear. But for this, they used various ways of pattern construction such as jigsaw cutting, subtraction cutting, and minimal seam cutting. The analysis on the each cutting methods are as follows. 1) jigsaw cutting method is making pattern pieces in puzzle shape. 2) subtraction cutting method is opening unusual shape holes to allow the materials can be twisted through. 3) minimal seam cutting method is minimizing seams in the construction by folding fabrics instead. It is suggesting that the development of prototypes applied 3 types of pattern construction and comparison between strength and weakness of each types as the future research.
