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.
