The Muslim markets are emerging. Though they are geographically isolated, the Muslim’s religious homogeneity has formed a huge market. Economic power based on abundant resources, a high population growth rate, and robust consumption propensities are the main advantages of the Muslim market. Surprisingly, Muslims are one of the top consumer groups of luxurious cars, homes and fashion items despite their ascetical, conservative image. Until now, the entry of foreign companies into the Muslim market has been difficult due to the market’s unique qualities; however, the opportunity of preemption in the market is worth attempting. Thus, the purpose of the following study is to understand the differentiated culture and the industrial backgrounds of the Muslim nations and to perform a design research based on the traditional Muslim abaya. As a result, Dubai (the business hub of the Middle East and the capital city of the UAE) was labeled as a niche market, and six various designs of exportable Couture Abaya (high-quality custom-made abaya) were developed for Muslim women aged 28 to 40. After setting Dubai as the starting point, about 1.6 billion markets around the world, including the UAE markets, were targeted as contributing to the increase in the national competitiveness caused by the realization of high-value products.

Reviewing The Literature on Multiple Themes of Islamic Attire Practice Among Muslim Women

Under the paradigm of ‘Eco’, the core of sustainability management, this study aims to establish both domestic and international markets and secure competitiveness in the global markets through the development of children’s furniture composed of recycled and unharmful materials. Currently, in Europe and in the Western regions, the concepts of ‘eco-friendly’, ‘children’, and ‘DIY’ are well-placed in the daily lives of the people. On the other hand, compared to the domestic demand for eco-friendly children’s furniture, the essential approach and the qualitative improvements about the subject are being slowly progressed. Particularly, the process of applying eco-friendly materials and finishing materials to the children’s furnitures are mostly in a non-existent state. Thus, in this study, simple application of basic eco-friendly materials such as natural woods or imitation of overseas furniture designs were avoided to create transformable eco-friendly one-touch DIY children’s furniture for children’s growth and development through the application of eco-friendly processes of technology, design, and other stages of the development process. In other words, under the big category of eco-friendly children’s furniture, the furniture was developed through an environmentally-friendly process of universal design that is suitable for children of all ages, and thus, ultimately maximizing the economical effective value and reducing consumption of resources and environmental pollutions.
