Abstract

The paper explores the evolving role of sustainability in fashion design, focusing on the use of eco-friendly materials and sustainable practices. With the fashion industry being one of the largest contributors to environmental degradation, there is an increasing urgency to adopt sustainable methods in design and production. This study delves into the various sustainable materials being utilized in fashion design, such as organic cotton, bamboo, and recycled fibers, and examines their ecological impact. Additionally, the paper discusses innovative design practices that promote sustainability, including upcycling, slow fashion, and circular economy principles. By analyzing case studies of brands that have successfully integrated sustainability into their operations, the study highlights the potential for the fashion industry to make significant environmental strides. The findings emphasize the importance of sustainable fashion as a viable solution to mitigate the ecological footprint of the industry, and provide insights for designers and manufacturers seeking to adopt sustainable practices.
