SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ECO-CONSCIOUS DESIGN OF MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TEEN APPAREL WITH ZERO-WASTE IMPLEMENTATION
Abstract
Disclosed is an integrated design system aimed at revolutionizing the multifunctional children’s wear sector. This system utilizes a unique assemblage of modules to facilitate the creation of environmentally sustainable clothing for teenagers. A recognition module is employed to identify components befitting multifunctional apparel, ensuring the materials align with sustainable and zero-waste standards. A suitability module evaluates design aspects to meet the multifaceted needs of teenagers, focusing on ease, comfort, functionality, flexibility, and user-friendliness. An awareness module gauges the level of consumer awareness regarding environmentally conscious clothing choices. An ascertainment module tackles the inherent challenges in designing and manufacturing multifunctional children’s wear. Finally, a development module orchestrates the design and crafting of the clothing range, upholding the principles of sustainability. Collectively, these modules collaborate to steer the design process from initial concept to tangible product development, targeting the reduction of textile waste and enhancement of clothing longevity.
