Abstract
The purpose of this study is to arrange foundation that will suggest developmental direction of future fashion design, by confirming symbolic significance, in which a change in the sexuality concept of digital era was expressed through fashion design. The concept of sexuality in digital era can be divided into the nomadic sex of not being satisfied with one sex, the horizontal sex of recognizing diversity of sex, and the borderlessness of being disappeared division in sex, due to collapse of a dichotomous way of thinking. The concept of sexuality in fashion design is being symbolically expressed as the masquerade of hiding identity without being indicated sexual characteristic in clothing or appearance, as the artificial characteristic of being able to be changed into other sex depending on make-up, plastic surgery, or wearing method of clothes, and as the integration of being coexisted femininity and masculinity in one clothing. The concept of sexuality in digital era of taking flexible position in expressing sexual identity pursues open design that doesn`t express sexual identity in fashion design or can be changed into any sex, and that can express other sexual identity according to wearer`s intention or viewer`s sight. Even in the post digital era, the attitude toward sex will be open. Ambiguity of dividing sex will be more deepened. Even fashion design will come to proceed with advancing to the direction of expressing the open sexuality concept of recognizing every sex and of being coexisted.
