Abstract
Approximately 65% of a garment's climate impact stems from fabric production. With 53 M tons of fibre produced every year and 87% ending in landfills, the fashion industry is polluting and wasting precious resources. Therefore, waste prevention and recapturing value become essential. Our research explores the development of a new circular design strategy (CDS) - Refashion, for service innovation through a design thinking process. Grounded in sustainable design strategies and advanced manufacturing technology, the Refashion CDS aims to enable multiple reutilization of fabric before fibre recycling. This is showcased via a proof-of-concept collection launched on the market in 2022, where three pre-designed multifunctional fabric blocks create 11 different garments, accompanied by a diagram showcasing the product-service system's closed-loop material flow.
期刊介绍：
Design Studies is a leading international academic journal focused on developing understanding of design processes. It studies design activity across all domains of application, including engineering and product design, architectural and urban design, computer artefacts and systems design. It therefore provides an interdisciplinary forum for the analysis, development and discussion of fundamental aspects of design activity, from cognition and methodology to values and philosophy.
Design Studies publishes work that is concerned with the process of designing, and is relevant to a broad audience of researchers, teachers and practitioners. We welcome original, scientific and scholarly research papers reporting studies concerned with the process of designing in all its many fields, or furthering the development and application of new knowledge relating to design process. Papers should be written to be intelligible and pertinent to a wide range of readership across different design domains. To be relevant for this journal, a paper has to offer something that gives new insight into or knowledge about the design process, or assists new development of the processes of designing.
