Abstract

This paper uses the lens of life-cycle thinking to discuss recent developments in the Australian mass market fashion industry, and to explore the opportunities and barriers to implementing lifecycle thinking within mass market design processes. Life-cycle analysis is a quantitative tool used to assess the environmental impact of a material or product. However the underlying thinking of life-cycle analysis can also be employed more generally, enabling a designer to assess their processes and design decisions for sustainability. A fashion designer employing life cycle thinking would consider every stage in the life of a garment from fibre and textiles through to consumer use, to eventual disposal and beyond disposal to reuse and later disassembly for fibre recycling. Although life-cycle thinking is rarely considered in the design processes of the fast-paced, price-driven mass market, this paper explores its potential and suggests ways in which it could be implemented.

时尚服装的生命周期与澳大利亚大众市场设计师的角色
本文使用生命周期思维的镜头来讨论澳大利亚大众市场时尚产业的最新发展,并探讨在大众市场设计过程中实施生命周期思维的机会和障碍。生命周期分析是一种定量工具,用于评估材料或产品对环境的影响。然而,生命周期分析的基本思想也可以更普遍地应用,使设计师能够评估他们的过程和设计决策的可持续性。采用生命周期思维的时装设计师会考虑一件衣服生命周期中的每一个阶段,从纤维和纺织品到消费者使用,到最终的处置,再到再利用和后来的拆解,以回收纤维。尽管在快节奏、价格驱动的大众市场的设计过程中很少考虑生命周期思维,但本文探讨了它的潜力,并提出了实施它的方法。
