Toward inclusivity through fashion: a qualitative exploration of the clothing consumption experiences of physically disabled men in South Korea

This research addresses the need for inclusive innovation and research in the disability-inclusive fashion domain. We conducted a qualitative study to understand the barriers that male consumers with physical disabilities face in their clothing consumption experiences by applying grounded theory. To gain a comprehensive understanding of these barriers, we explored sociopsychological and fashion consumption-related factors alongside conventional functional considerations that influence their formation. Additionally, we suggested potential solutions to mitigate these barriers. Data for this exploratory qualitative study were collected through in-depth interviews with nine disabled male participants and four caregivers, combined with participatory observation, which was instrumental in building a strong rapport between the interview participants and the researcher. The findings suggest three dimensions of the barriers—functional, sociopsychological, and fashion consumption—and underscore the importance of sociopsychological influences in shaping their clothing consumption experiences. Furthermore, we emphasize the need for a universal fashion market that embraces both disabled and non-disabled consumers regardless of their physical attributes. To achieve this new direction in the fashion domain, it is necessary to leverage fashion industry advancements, such as mass customization with cutting-edge technologies, to address these multifaceted challenges. The research outcomes contribute to the advancement of disability-inclusive fashion and aim to enhance the overall well-being of individuals with disabilities. The research outcomes contribute to the advancement of disability-inclusive fashion and aim to enhance the well-being of individuals with disabilities by providing empirical insights into their lived clothing consumption experiences and offering actionable strategies for the development of inclusive fashion products.

Penelitian ini membahas perlunya inovasi dan penelitian inklusif dalam ranah fesyen inklusif disabilitas. Kami melakukan studi kualitatif untuk memahami hambatan yang dihadapi konsumen pria penyandang disabilitas fisik dalam pengalaman konsumsi pakaian mereka dengan menerapkan grounded theory. Untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang komprehensif tentang hambatan ini, kami mengeksplorasi faktor-faktor sosiopsikologis dan terkait konsumsi fesyen, di samping pertimbangan fungsional konvensional yang memengaruhi pembentukannya. Selain itu, kami menyarankan solusi potensial untuk memitigasi hambatan ini. Data untuk studi kualitatif eksploratif ini dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan sembilan partisipan pria disabilitas dan empat pengasuh, dikombinasikan dengan observasi partisipatif, yang berperan penting dalam membangun hubungan yang kuat antara partisipan wawancara dan peneliti. Temuan ini menunjukkan tiga dimensi hambatan—fungsional, sosiopsikologis, dan konsumsi fesyen—dan menggarisbawahi pentingnya pengaruh sosiopsikologis dalam membentuk pengalaman konsumsi pakaian mereka. Lebih lanjut, kami menekankan perlunya pasar fesyen universal yang merangkul konsumen disabilitas dan non-disabilitas, terlepas dari atribut fisik mereka. Untuk mencapai arah baru dalam dunia fesyen ini, kemajuan industri fesyen, seperti kustomisasi massal dengan teknologi mutakhir, perlu dimanfaatkan untuk mengatasi berbagai tantangan ini. Hasil penelitian ini berkontribusi pada kemajuan fesyen inklusif disabilitas dan bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan individu penyandang disabilitas secara keseluruhan dengan memberikan wawasan empiris tentang pengalaman konsumsi pakaian mereka dan menawarkan strategi yang dapat ditindaklanjuti untuk pengembangan produk fesyen inklusif.
