Research on Multi-Functional Fashion Contributes to Sustainable Development

Abstract

The study addresses the environmental impact of fast fashion and garment waste by exploring the development of sustainable, multifunctional fashion. The research aims to reduce excessive consumption while maintaining both aesthetic and functional appeal. It focuses on transformation techniques, such as adjustable cuts, detachable elements, and convertible features, to enhance garment versatility and extend product lifecycles. By analyzing fashion trends among youth, a group with significant influence over fashion markets, the study identifies key stylistic preferences and integrates them into the design process. Additionally, the research investigates using recycled materials and refined tailoring methods to promote eco-friendly production practices. The results reveal that these designs offer unique, adaptable fashion items that align with sustainable trends, combining diverse styles and high functionality. The study demonstrates that flexible, reusable designs can encourage consumers to make more sustainable fashion choices, reducing textile waste while still allowing for creativity and self-expression in clothing. By promoting multifunctional garments, the research highlights the potential for fashion to contribute to a circular economy, where longevity, adaptability, and eco-consciousness are prioritized in consumer habits. This approach not only offers practical solutions to environmental concerns but also supports the broader shift towards sustainable fashion.
