Sustainable Trendsetters: Up-cycling and Rejuvenation of Textile Apparels using Computational Technology

This paper analyses the evolution of sustainable approach within the fashion industry that carries with it a range of challenges in design. This study guides the designers to move their focus from fast fashion to upcycling of existing clothes. The framework is explained through illustrations using Computational Technology, CAD and construction of the garments which is demonstrated with examples opening up the forthcoming research agenda for the globular economy. The aim is to provide trendy sustainable clothing range to the fashion consumers with better design options created with existing waste. With an increasing concern amongst consumers about the social and environmental impact of their purchases, businesses are beginning to understand the benefits and untapped economic potential of efficient use of waste and preserve energy. Upcycling is a new hope, a fresh conception and answer to various ecological problems in the world today. Acceptance of green existence and articulating eco-friendly life style is freshly being incorporated.
