Circular Fashion Design: Redefining Wardrobe Sustainability Through Modular And Repairable Garments

Abstract

The modern fashion industry, with its relentless pursuit of fast fashion and conspicuous consumption, has placed an unsustainable burden on our planet. Circular Fashion Design emerges as an innovative and timely response to this critical moment. This research article embarks on a comprehensive exploration of Circular Fashion Design, aiming to unearth its roots, principles, and potential to revolutionize the fashion industry. Data will be collected using a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. Our research revealed that a significant majority of consumers express a strong preference for modular and repairable garments. The findings align with previous literature on consumer preferences for sustainable fashion. Our study suggests several strategies for incentivizing the fashion industry to adopt modular and repairable fashion design. Government tax incentives and consumer education emerge as strong recommendations, echoing the sentiments of scholars advocating for policy-driven change in the fashion industry. In conclusion, this research underscores the transformative potential of modular and repairable fashion design in addressing the pressing environmental and ethical challenges faced by the fashion industry.
