“…These concerns require both changes in customers' behavior (limiting consumption, i.e., excessive purchasing of fast fashion products) and changes in the industry: production on demand, improved production processes to reduce waste, and, in some cases, digitization of the products (Riedelsheimera et al, 2020). AI algorithms can be used to assess different types of clothing materials and fabrics, predict how well clothing will perform in terms of comfort, help customers have an efficient online shopping experience by enabling virtual garment try‐on based on clothing features and customers' measurements, ensure that customers are happy with the fashion design, and assist in sales forecasting (Alkhammash et al, 2022).…”

New technologies—especially the emergence of digital fashion and a growing interest in creating digital twins (DTs)—are expected to alter existing value chains in the fashion industry as DT technology triggers a redesign of value creation processes. This qualitative case study demonstrates how and to what extent the development of DTs in the fashion industry addresses the sustainability needs of various stakeholders in both real‐world and virtual‐reality settings. The article examines the possibilities, benefits, and challenges of creating sustainable value in two distinct ways: traditionally, through physical processes, and through digital transformation by employing virtual processes via DTs. The main implication for further research is to examine the distribution of value facilitated by DT among heterogeneous stakeholders.

“…A promising technology for the traditional textile industry and smart clothing is DT (Alkhammash et al, 2022). Unified computing environments and digital supply chain management present significantly more efficient movement of resources and information that optimizes the costs and quality of the product.…”

“…A digital twin can provide customized clothing products to customers, based on their preferences which ultimately can contribute to plan design and reduce cycle production time and waste. 6 According to Kuzmichev and Yan, 7 brands using 3D digital garment design and development processes are recorded up to a 75% reduction in sampling, and a 50%–75% reduction in time spent on product development.…”

3D virtual prototyping for garment development, although not much exploited and appreciated by the clothing industry in the early days of its appearance two decades ago, has now been explored (research-wise) extensively especially in the pandemic period and its impact on the whole supply chain of garments and fashion products. This virtual prototype which allows the company to visualize the status and condition of a clothing product that may be thousands of kilometers away, providing insights into how products can be better designed, manufactured, operated and serviced before companies invest in physical prototypes and assets, is often called digital twin. At the same time, laser-cut as a creative design technique on clothing materials have emerged in recent times, as fashion moguls are seeing the benefits that the technology presents. Laser cut technology with its benefits of accuracy, speed, precision, applicability in various materials, flexibility in geometry, interoperability with other systems like CAD/CAM and CIM, sustainability in resources and source of inspiration for several upcoming designers, provides an excellent approach for creating bridges between the past, the present and the future in history of fashion design. The aim of this paper was to provide a decision-making framework for the selection of an effective digital twinning process with the use of two different 3D virtual prototyping tools. For this purpose, a methodological framework is proposed which guides the creator according to the final use of the digital garment twin: evaluation of actual fit and actual representation of the produced physical, or as a shared digital asset for an exclusive digital environment.

“…A dual strategy or transition refers to an approach or action plan designed to achieve two goals simultaneously or to address one goal using two methods [33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. The fashion industry can use two possible twin strategies to address the problem of clothing waste disposal.…”

“…The first can be described as the achievement of two goals: clothing waste reduction and textile fashion production. The second can be described as the simultaneous use of physical and digital methods to achieve a single goal: environmental circularity [37][38][39]. In the fashion industry, twinning strategies targeting clothing waste have been limited.…”

This study aims to utilize a dual physical and digital strategy for the completion of a process that achieves two goals: the treatment of large amounts of clothing waste and the development of materials and products. This study expands the author’s previous research on the feasibility of using clothing waste as a textile material and the development of weaving methods. The processes of material analysis, design, material development, and product production for clothing waste were connected by the dual strategy. The project was conducted by three groups of designers for ten months and evaluated by ten experts. A total of eighteen digital products were developed, including three physical products and one digital twin. Digital and physical models were dressed and subjected to objective and in-depth evaluations by experts. The experts determined that the match rate between the physical products and digital twins was over 90% and that each process step was conducted appropriately. The process was also deemed applicable for 50% of the industrial sector and 80% of the education sector. Therefore, this study connected the quantitative disposal of garment waste to the qualitative design and production of new material, introducing a new process strategy to maintain sustainability in the fashion industry.
