ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate key design features and maintenance practices of isolation gowns which should be improved for ensuring healthcare workers’ (HCWs’) safety and protection, integrating two theoretical models – personal protective clothing on worker performance and clothing comfort. Using a survey research design, an online survey was employed with a convenience sample of 153 US HCWs. The results presented the need for isolation gown design improvement within donning and doffing, comfort, body coverage, fit and sizing. It showcases interrelationships among isolation gown properties, HCWs’ task requirements, environmental conditions and their characteristics, and how comfort can be achieved while interacting among HCWs, isolation gown and the environment for better work performance and safety. This study provides critical insights into the novel isolation gown design and development by considering more of its utilitarian, task-related features to ensure HCWs’ safety and protection.

ABSTRACT This paper illustrates and underscores the importance of sustainable practices with the focus on reprocessing fashion products. The reprocessing concepts include; repair, (re) dying, and (re) styling to increase the life and usability of products. An exploratory case study was conducted with organisations located in and around Boras in Vastra Gottland region of Sweden. The interviews were taken using semi-structured questionnaires from the people holding managerial positions in the selected organisations. In addition to the interviews, the direct observations were also documented. The respondents emphasised the role of reprocessing, extending the life of fashion. This is imperative in the fast-changing fashion world because each fashion season offers a new range of products, and the old ones are generally discarded. The process of (re)dying and (re)styling could be adapted to cope with the fast-changing demand of consumers for fashion products. Value addition can also be used to repair the damaged parts.

Purpose: The study sought to investigate Knowledge, attitudes and practices of tailors towards the business of Covid masks and protective gears in Ghana. A critical Literature review. Methodology: This study adopted a desktop methodology. This study used secondary data from which include review of existing literature from already published studies and reports that was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: The study findings demonstrate a high level of awareness of COVID-19 among the tailors and general civilians who frequently updated themselves on the pandemic through several information channels. The pandemic disease, was broadcasted daily through all media, including social media and mainstream media (such as public television channels and radio). The study showed that the tailors also had heard about the need for more masks primarily through national TV channels which represented the primary source of information for remote communities in particular, and social media. Since the outbreak, many tailors have taken the opportunity to make custom-made masks. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The results suggest an urgent need for health education programs to hold optimistic attitudes and rebuilding of trust of the general public in health facilities in local hospitals to avoid the possible next wave of COVID-19. The study also recommends that the government together with international donors should support local tailors by giving them funds to buy material they can use to make more protective gears.

AI digitalisation and automation are rapidly transforming the apparel industry, creating the need for a radical evolution of the workforce at all stages of apparel production. This study explores how AI digitalisation and automation is transforming the skills required by the human workforce as well as examined how the future workforce might be trained. The study employed a qualitative approach, conducting semi-structured interviews with 21 participants from 5 different countries. Findings indicate intellectual, innovative, and creative jobs will be in significant demand in the future of AI and automation. Results indicate digital and technical skills should be emphasised in training of employees, over soft skills. The study suggests that industry and academia must collaborate in identifying and forecasting future skills requirements of the apparel workforce, and that sustainable and ethical practices be followed in technology implementation within the future apparel industry.

ABSTRACT The fashion industry is one of the sectors most responsible for environmental pollution and waste generation. Zero-waste design either minimises or prevents waste generation by efficient use of resources for sustainable growth with environmental responsibility. This paper reviews traditional clothing, focusing on pants, go (袴), from the Joseon Dynasty, an era that emphasised ‘oneness with nature’. It analyses their zero-waste design aspects and formative features and, in order to examine their eco-friendliness and aesthetic value applies these to three fashion designs. Sapok pants, pungcha pants and dan-sokgot were selected as design motifs because of their unique structures, creative construction methods and zero-waste aspects. Results demonstrate that the zero-waste patternmaking and composition methods significantly lowered the fabric waste rate, by 0.6–6%. In addition, new design silhouettes are presented by applying unique structural principles and recombining traditional patterns, and these offer highly effective and creative alternate zero-waste fashion design methods.
