Metody zrównoważonego projektowania produktu w zakresie odzieży: studium przypadku firmy marki modowej

Języki publikacji

Abstrakty

Fashion brand companies must fully consider all the three following aspects in apparel product design: perspectives, method and model (the key research questions proposed by this study), and practise in a sustainable way, with a focus on the combination of enterprise practices and sustainable development. In this paper, we make full use of the key elements of clothing design to establish a user-friendly theoretical model based on the concept of “clothing series design” and conducted the first trial at an appropriate company (Burberry). Then we applied this method derived from our model to the new products released as part of the 2019 Spring and Summer collection at a Chinese apparel company to test the stability of the method. The study proposed a new sustainable design method and received positive application results through the tests at Burberry and at a Chinese apparel company, which can be considered as one of the major contributions of this study.

Firmy modowe muszą w pełni uwzględnić wszystkie trzy aspekty projektowania produktów odzieżowych: perspektywy, metody i modele (kluczowe pytania badawcze zaproponowane w badaniu) i praktykować w sposób zrównoważony, koncentrując się na połączeniu praktyk przedsiębiorstw i zrównoważonego rozwoju. W artykule w pełni wykorzystano kluczowe elementy projektowania odzieży, tak aby stworzyć przyjazny dla użytkownika model teoretyczny oparty na koncepcji „projektowania serii odzieży” i przeprowadzono pierwszą próbę w firmie odzieżowej „Burberry”. Następnie zastosowano metodę pochodzącą z opracowanego modelu w nowych produktach wydanych w ramach kolekcji wiosenno-letniej 2019 w chińskiej firmie odzieżowej, w celu przetestowania stabilności tej metody. Badanie zasugerowało nową metodę zrównoważonego projektowania i uzyskało pozytywne wyniki zastosowania w testach w Burberry i chińskiej firmie odzieżowej, które można uznać za jeden z głównych wkładów tego badania.
