Abstract

All respondents hadsignificant experience with this type of store. Data were analyzed in an inductive way and compared withBohemianism to interpret and described the results as a recent phenomenon of men's fashion. The five inter-nal motives were extracted from analysis: the pursuit of freedom of expression, the counter-cultural resist-ance to department stores and domestic fashion brands, which tend to copy designs from international brands,the pursuit of mobility and adventure for trying to search and wear a new fashion style, the pursuit of plea-sure through store experience, and the pursuit of artistic value by considering goods purchased in multi-brand fashion stores as artistic and cultural goods.Key words: Male consumer, Bohemian, Multi-brand fashion store, Select shop, Clothing purchasing mo-tives; 남성 소비자, 보헤미안, 멀티 브랜드 패션 스토어, 편집매장, 의복구매동기
