Integration<br />
of textile fashion <strong>and</strong> <strong>IT</strong><br />
<strong>Korea</strong>’s textile <strong>and</strong> <strong>IT</strong> integration “benchmarked abroad”<br />
2010 <strong>Korea</strong>'s Electronics Show introduced technologies<br />
sponsored by Ministry of Knowledge Economy in the textile<br />
fashion <strong>and</strong> <strong>IT</strong> integration sector. The technologies included<br />
3D virtual fashion show demonstration from the team led by<br />
Professor Hyeongseok Go at Seoul National <strong>University</strong><br />
(Digital clothing center) <strong>and</strong> virtual clothing using avatar from<br />
KonKuk <strong>University</strong>'s Professor Chankyu Parkteam (i-Fashion<br />
clothing technology center).<br />
3D virtual fashion show demonstration uses 3D digital<br />
clothes production to create a virtual fashion show that highly<br />
resembles a real fashion show. By using DC Suite, digital<br />
clothing software, it can simulate the user's figure as well as<br />
the fabric <strong>and</strong> pattern according to the user's preference, reducing<br />
the time <strong>and</strong> cost for clothes production. In addition, designers<br />
can have a 3D virtual fashion show with these technologies.<br />
At the show, in fact, École de Paris showed six<br />
clothes that were actually on sale for 2007 F/W season, in digital<br />
version, <strong>and</strong> also held a digital fashion show including<br />
"Woonmuwha" <strong>and</strong> "Rainbow."<br />
Prof. Go's team revealed that they are planning to further<br />
develop DC Suite, so that users will be able to choose the textile<br />
- currently, you can only enter numbers regarding the<br />
stretch <strong>and</strong> bending of the fabric - <strong>and</strong> apply various patterns<br />
of textiles.<br />
<strong>Konkuk</strong> <strong>University</strong>'s Chankyu Park's team (i-Fashion clothing<br />
technology center) introduced virtual clothing technology<br />
using avatar, which instantly creates a user's avatar by scanning<br />
the whole body before putting on <strong>and</strong> finally choosing<br />
the jean that best f<strong>its</strong> the body. At the show, the technology<br />
was applied to Levis' new product 'Curve ID', developed by<br />
the team in collaboration with Shinsegae <strong>and</strong> Levis, in order<br />
to recommend the type of the jean that best f<strong>its</strong> the customer's<br />
figure <strong>and</strong> subsequently help to choose the jean after checking<br />
the fitting on the customer's avatar. In addition, the team also<br />
showcased the technology for making customized gloves by<br />
scanning the user's h<strong>and</strong>s, <strong>and</strong> it is currently used in supplying<br />
individually customized gloves for the pilots of <strong>Korea</strong>n Air<br />
Force.<br />
The <strong>IT</strong> <strong>and</strong> textile fashion integration technologies showcased<br />
this time are world-class state-of-art technologies benchmarked<br />
overseas, expecting a substantial market share when it<br />
enters the global market.<br />
