This paper aims to draw attention to the negative impact of fast fashion, which produces a huge amount of waste in a short space of time, has a linear life cycle and ends up in landfills, causing increased pollution in the environment, harmful effects on human health due to the chemical constituents of synthetic fibers, and a negative social impact thanks to child labor and labor exploitation, resulting in low wages.

摘要

This paper aims to draw attention to the negative impact of fast fashion, which produces a huge amount of waste in a short space of time, has a linear life cycle and ends up in landfills, causing increased pollution in the environment, harmful effects on human health due to the chemical constituents of synthetic fibers, and a negative social impact thanks to child labor and labor exploitation, resulting in low wages. On the other hand, the emergence of more and more biofabrics obtained by natural or organic processes from nature has been growing. This allows consumers to change their habits and make other choices, choosing textiles that are less harmful to the environment and human quality of life. The objective is to create a creative capsule collection using biofabrics such as organic cotton, pinatex and recycled fibers, with a diverse color palette and materials with shiny finishes, in order to differentiate itself in the sustainable fashion market, presenting a fair price and being made ethically, as an aid to preventing the negative impact of the fashion industry. The methodology applied consists of bibliographical research, with the aim of carrying out a literature review, where the relevant themes are explored. After analysis and reflection, the project phase of creating a sustainable fashion collection began. The collection was then idealized, planned, created and executed.
