This study attempted to design knit-wear, using paintings of plants as motifs, re-configuring them to fit the description of beauty of middle‐aged women. Research was divided into literature research and simulation of life‐size production using SDS-ONE, design software for knitting. The result of this study was as follow. First, visual evaluations conducted of knit design samples by an expert group that consists of five people majoring in clothes using template mapping and mesh mapping techniques of SDS-ONE, knit design tool invented by Shima Seiki, show the same results as the ones filmed in real clothes. That made trying for diverse designs possible using CAD, reducing loss of time and money invested in producing real-life samples. Second, usage of Korean paintings focusing on those of plants as contemporary fashion items has become a meaningful attempt to include one field of art in fashion, as well as to meet the needs of consumers. Third, the research suggests possibilities for design development of diverse contemporary clothes integrating Korea's unique paintings with knit-wear equipped with convenience and practicality. The research made an attempt to combine arts with fashion, capitalizing on the beauty of Korean paintings in knit-wear design in order to run up against developed countries equipped with design competitiveness and underdeveloped countries offering competitive prices.
