The following paper aims to find out consumers' expectations and attitudes towards the innovation "Metaverse". It will also be explored which role the Meta Group plays in mass adaption and how the company influences consumers' possible use and opinion on the project. These results are connected to the fashion industry, further exploring new types of products and a possible distribution channel. Therefore, this study is useful to developers of Metaverses and AR/VR products, the Meta Group, and fashion companies. The main results of this research are: Meta and the Metaverse are seen as critical, the required technology has not yet reached mainstream use, but interest is present. Digital fashion had participants divided, some not willing to spend any money and some already having spent over 100€, although the Metaverse's influence on future purchases is little. The Metaverse could serve as a new distribution channel for clothing products. To conduct this research Google Forms was used. The research is classified as survey-based. The biggest limitation is the nonexistence of the Metaverse as envisioned by Meta, making it hard for participants to answer some of the questions asked.

Indian Garment industry is one of the largest Asian industries. Studies show that occupational hazards can cause human, social, and economic losses. When the workers are made to work in ergonomically unacceptable workplaces, they become potent to Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD). Preventing the MSDs can help reduce absenteeism, and early retirement, improve productivity, and promote safety at the workplace. In this study, the risk of MSDs in the sewing operators was analyzed. Initially, data on the operators were collected through physical observations, interviews, and video footage. Analyzing the videos and physical observation of the operators, critical postures of the operators are chosen for the assessment. A systematic scoring method called Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) was used to assess a group of 43 operators. The results of the study stated that, among the 43 operators, 38 are in a medium risk level and 7 are in a higher risk level. The reasons for the risk levels included both individual and external factors. The resulting conclusions helped in understanding the risk and conveying better ergonomic intervention that can contribute to reducing the MSD in operators.

In terms of sustainability & wearing comfort, denim manufacturers are entering a new era of product variety. Tencel's regenerative nature and unique mechanical qualities usher in a new era for the denim industry. In this work, denim fabrics were manufactured using Tencel Cotton blended yarn using very fi ne yarn (20 Tex or 30 Ne), and fabric performance was examined following factors like tensile strength and other relevant metrics. For better evaluation, All the structures were 2/1 RHT (right-hand twill) that contained 115 EPI & 70 PPI and also indigo blue dyed. According to the result of the investigation, 100% Tencel Fabric (both the warp and the weft yarn were 100% Tencel) demonstrated the highest quality of fabric performance in terms of tensile strength, tearing strength, stiff ness, air permeability, and water vapor permeability than any other cotton or cotton Tencel blended fabric. However, a downward trend of abrasion resistance was observed in Tencel or cotton Tencel blended fabric concerning the percentage change of Tencel. Additionally, the performance of the fabric was significantly improved by the percentage addition of Tencel fiber in the warp and weft directions. In addition, a denim fabric made entirely of cotton performed the least well when compared to fabrics made entirely of Tencel or a blend of Tencel and cotton.

The T-shirt is probable the most used and the most versatile piece of cloth. With this background, the actual paper gives an overview on different types of T-shirts offered on the German market during the spring and summer in year 2022. A view on T-shirts over a broad price range, with- and without claimed functional properties and eco labels is given. Additional to a view on price and marketing features, also the material composition and functional properties are investigated and reported. T-shirts with functional properties can be even found in the low-cost segment. However, by marketing using a combination of functional materials, eco labels and the statement "Made in Europe" T-shirts can be sold for reasonable higher prices.

In this paper the subject of study is the characteristics of textile industry businesses in crisis conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper is based on the fact that economic entities in their operations often encounter disturbances caused by the action of a large number of factors that lead to a crisis in their operations and which imply the implementation of appropriate activities in order to overcome these disturbances. The textile industry is an economic branch that is sensitive to crisis disturbances and was particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper is structured so that it consists of three parts. In the first part of the paper, it studies the impact of the crisis on the operations of textile companies, with a special focus on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as on the necessity of applying the concepts of circularity and sustainability. In the second part of the paper, the impact of the pandemic on the EU textile industry is analyzed, both from the point of view of the characteristics of that impact, and from the point of view of the measures and future strategic directions of the development of this sector. In the final part of the paper, the study focuses on the business characteristics of the domestic textile sector, while analyzing its indicators in crisis conditions and in the period from the onset of the pandemic until today. It is concluded that the application of the concept of a circular and sustainable economy represents the only long-term solution for the exit of this sector from the crisis, as well as a condition for its further development.

Seersucker fabric design features a new combination of fabric structures that can also be used in various yarns based on sustainable fibers. Such fabric structures attract attention mainly due to their comfort properties, as well as easy-care clothing. One of the most commonly used regenerated fibers is Tencel, which is also known as lyocell fiber. Tencel is produced by using eucalyptus trees. Tencel has a number of applications, such as denim fabrics, pants, t-shirts, silky underwear, etc. It is also important to note that Tencel fiber-based new design approaches based on Tencel fibers are gaining attention in the context of circular design thinking. In this study, the effect of the same blend ratio of Tencel on different puckering surface designs was used, and the key properties of the designed fabrics were tested and analyzed. The principal objective is to apply the properties of Tencel fibers to improve the structural comfort of seersucker fabrics. The manufacturing process of the designed fabrics was optimized after the initial tests with the settings of the loom and the number of warp and weft threads. After 30 different process combinations, 6 different fabrics were selected for production. The structural properties of the 6 different patterns were successfully standardized and their structural properties were examined.

The global Covid 19 pandemic introduced a new item in everyday dress - the protective facemask. During 2020, fashion elements crept in the design of this primarily functional item. This research aims to analyse fashion trends in protective facemasks in the early stages of the Covid 19 pandemic. Photos with protective facemasks on social media were used, as traditional fashion photography underrepresents facemask wearing. The research showed that protective facemasks on Pinterest - a social medium used for taste discovery, showed cheerfulness, humour and individual creativity in facemask design. The uncertainty on how long non-pharmaceutical solutions in the fight against Covid 19 will be in place raises the question if fashion should be ignored. When persuading people to wear facemasks could fashion be the carrot to the stick of legislation?

In garment manufacturing, pressing is one of the latest stages of production. The purpose of the pressing is to achieve a smooth appearance of the shell fabric and flat and smooth seams. A group of woven fabrics with of fiber composition 100% cotton, cotton/Lycra, 100% wool and blended wool/PES for production of men's shirt and tailored garments were tested for seam pressing performance on a FAST 4 press test. The relationship of the seam crease angle after pressing with the fabric fiber composition and fabric weight and end use. The substantial difference between fabric end use and seam pressing performance was analyzed. The fabrics of Wool/PES fabric composition have shown best seam crease performance out of all fabrics for tailored garments. Cotton/Lycra fabrics have shown superior seam pressing performance compared to 100% cotton fabric for men's shirt.
