This study aims to explore the characteristics and trends of the studies on Central Asia costumes by analyzing Korean studies on them, a total of 178 studies that were published from 1980 to 2015. The results of analyzing 85 studies of Central Asia costumes by region show there are 19 of Western Turkestan, 17 of Xingjiang/Dunhuang, 30 of China, and 19 of Mongol/Tibet. In addition, as a results of analyzing 93 studies of Central Asia costumes by subject it was found that ‘exchange of costume culture between the East and the West’ includes 31, the most; ‘costume’ 24; ‘textile & pattern’ 17; ‘design & clothing behavior’ 11; and ‘religious costume’ 10. Studies on Central Asia costumes included 5 in 1980s, and 58 in 1990s with the subjects of ‘costumes excavated from Xinjiang’, ‘costumes found on mural paintings in Dunhuang Cave’, and ‘Hufu (胡服) in China’. In the 2000s, outcomes of studies on costumes were the most as 86 studies were published with diverse subjects such as ‘costumes in the Central Eurasia’ and ‘textile and pattern’. After 2010, outcomes of Korean studies on Central Asia costumes have decreased. The findings of this study are summarized as follows: future development of studies on Central Asia costumes will require ‘active involvement of more Central Asia costume majors,’ ‘verification of excavated artifacts and displayed materials through on-site survey’, ‘multidisciplinary studies related to Central Asian history and culture’, and ‘communications with majors in the Central Asia by foreign/domestic majors’.
