Abstract

This study started with the cognition of problem that design activities closely related to industries could cause damages to the environment. The purpose of this study was to suggest a new concept of fashion design for environment using pre-consumer textile wastes which are produced in cutting process and used to be disposed in landfill sites. To achieve the purpose of this study, the literatures about fashion design for environment were reviewed, and design process including design development, producing, and presentation was performed. As a result, three fashion designs for environment using textile wastes were suggested. The results of this study were followings. Using pre-consumer textile wastes, this study suggested realistic way of fashion design for environment which is not just showing environment image, but providing practical use as well as preventing the waste of resources. Second, through constructing textile wastes, both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional designs were possible, and unexpected effects created new value of beauty. Third, because the amount and type of pre-consumer textile wastes are unlimited, this fashion design for environment could be considered as continuous profit model.
