Development of a Persona/Scenario (P/S) Toolkit to Expand Inclusive Fashion Design Education

This study aimed to create a Persona/Scenario (P/S) toolkit for promoting inclusive fashion design. The development of the P/S toolkit drew inspiration from Lamb and Kallal"s FEA model for fashion design planning, integrating various factors such as disabilities, body types, social contexts, and diverse situations. Additionally, its design concepts consider the identities, social roles, practicality, personal tastes, and psychological needs of the user. Based on participant interviews, the P/S toolkit goes beyond conventional fashion design methods by encouraging designers to consider theﾠ diverse characteristics of users while maintaining conceptual consistency. Moreover, the P/S toolkit effectively facilitates team communication within projects focused on inclusive fashion design. As a result,, the P/S toolkit has the potential to serve as an educational resource for teaching inclusive design principles, emphasizing a comprehensive understanding of diverse user attributes. Additionally, it provides guidance for maintaining design consistency and enhancing team communication throughout the fashion design process.
