“…The use of 3D CAD (computer-aided design) to prototype refashioned apparel made from second-hand garments, i.e., to upcycle or rejuvenate old clothing and materials, was discussed [61,62,64,71]. The use of 3D technology in this way has interesting implications for the sustainability of the fashion industry and the adoption of circular economy principles, especially given that post-consumer waste is a sustainability concern [19].…”

“…The use of 3D technology in this way has interesting implications for the sustainability of the fashion industry and the adoption of circular economy principles, especially given that post-consumer waste is a sustainability concern [19]. This is also discussed in relation to the use of digital technologies to increase consumer acceptance of circular business models and second-hand fashion [71]. While much of the focus is on other fashion 4.0 technologies, such as blockchain (a digital ledger of records which cannot be altered and can be used to confirm authenticity), AR is considered, in the form of try-on apps, as one of the digital tools used to increase consumer acceptance of second-hand items.…”

“…While much of the focus is on other fashion 4.0 technologies, such as blockchain (a digital ledger of records which cannot be altered and can be used to confirm authenticity), AR is considered, in the form of try-on apps, as one of the digital tools used to increase consumer acceptance of second-hand items. However, there is a great deal of effort required to make the product attractive to buyers in a digital environment, and it is a challenge to replicate customer interaction in a digital or virtual environment [71]. AR and try-on technologies are emergent in the field of second-hand clothing, with the potential to impact the second-hand industry, but which are not currently established as a working solution.…”

“…Acceptance of circular business models and recycled products [61,71,83,85,113]; • Dematerialisation through digital fashion offerings allows consumers to have multiple new outfits for their digital channels, which reduces the need for physical items [27,65,74,[98][99][100][101][102][103][104]106,108,109,113]; • Gamification, where brands are entering existing virtual gaming worlds to encourage digital fashion purchases, or they are taking a gamification approach to their interactions with consumers [26,81,94].…”

Fashion industry emissions, resource use, and waste are attracting increasing consumer and government attention, with broad agreement that a new approach is required along the supply chain. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, a move to digitalisation facilitated an accelerating interest in digital applications, including immersive technologies such as augmented and virtual reality. This systematic literature review explores the intersecting topics of fashion, immersive technologies, and sustainability to determine the trends, examine the solutions offered, and discuss the implications of immersive technologies for sustainability. Four resources were consulted (Scholar, SCOPUS, WOS, and ProQuest), resulting in 74 articles for the review. Grey literature was included due to the currency of the topic and gaps in the available academic literature. The findings highlight immersive technology uses in the fashion industry, which are part of a move towards sustainability. These technologies are used to reduce online returns, educate consumers, reduce waste in design and manufacture, and remove the need for physical items. However, issues include high energy costs, consumer reluctance, and skill shortages. Results suggest future research and industry discussions should focus on empirical studies to measure the sustainability impact of immersive technologies, monitor technology diffusion and uptake, and measure the industry skills gap.

This study aimed to produce upcycled tweed fabric using clothing waste, and to this end, weaving methods for tweed were designed, and the creative upcycling of tweeds was produced. For the improvement in the quality of recycled fabrics and to produce creative, upcycled tweed designs, four weaving methods were designed based on Chanel’s tweed design. Various types of discarded clothing waste were collected and used as materials. The upcycling tweeds produced were evaluated by experts based on the factors of novelty and appropriateness. As a result of the evaluation, all of the upcycled tweed fabrics presented excellent creativity scores. The creativity score was high when different materials, such as yarn and fabric tape and yarn and bead, were used. Tweed weaving is not difficult to perform, and our interest increased during the weaving process. The creativity of upcycling tweed fabric was discussed in depth, centered on experts who evaluated upcycling tweeds. Through this study, the possibility of popularizing the upcycling of tweed fabric using clothing waste is expected. This study is meaningful in that it presents aesthetic and functional utilization methods for decreasing clothing waste and shows the possibility of creative changes made to clothing waste.
