The purpose of this study was to develop the design of multifunctional children’s clothing that supports sustainability goals. This paper proposes multifunctional clothing that can be recycled and decomposed at the end of the clothing’s lifespan. In particular, the Eco-fashion design model was adopted in this project. After analyzing fashion consumption and problems in children’s product design, four items of multifunctional children’s clothing were developed. Multifunctional children’s clothing design focuses on material selection, zero-waste techniques, design for disassembly and children’s health. Thus, the minimization of material diversity as well as the application of zero-waste design techniques and multifunctional design guidelines for children’s clothing design can be implemented towards sustainability in order to preserve the environment by selecting recyclable materials, promoting profit and human health concerning multifunctional purposes and international standards for children’s clothing design. The findings can be used in various apparel products to help mitigate problems related to environmental pollution and resource depletion in the apparel industry.

The formation of ethical fashion is a priority and a decisive factor in the efficiency of the activities of fashion and beauty industry enterprises. In the context of accelerated development of socio-economic processes, rapid technological changes, the growing needs of humanity along with the simultaneous increase in ecological pollution and the limited natural resources, questions are increasingly pressing about the practical use of ecological aspects of doing business. The article is aimed at studying the theoretical foundations of the essence of eco products, determining its role and importance in the modern world; analyzing the conceptions of development of ecologically oriented enterprises in the sphere of fashion industry. As a result of the carried out study, the theoretical foundations of the formation of the essence of concepts «eco fashion», «eco products», «conscious consumption» are considered and their role in the modern world is analyzed; the main motives for the creation of eco products in the fashion and beauty industry, as well as the main ecological concepts, are outlined. It is substantiated that the formation of the eco products market in the fashion and beauty industry should be understood as a market mechanism that is able to make changes in ecological production focused on economic and social benefits for both producers and consumers and society in general. According to the results of the study, we can conclude that ecological clothing is safer, better, hypoallergenic and convenient, and the advantages of creating eco products are: facilitation of the preservation of the environment; preservation and restoration of soil; reduction of carbon emissions into the atmosphere during the production of ecological clothing; increasing the competitiveness of producers in both the domestic and the foreign markets; resource saving and reduction of energy intensity of production; promoting the preservation of the health of the nation.

Bearing in mind the absence of specific legal norm on “fashion design” and the lack of expertise of ourjudges, Brazilian courts have recognized some degree of protection for designs granted by the fashion industry.They do not deny protection, as the North Americans who exclude the utilitarian aspects, nor even declarerights as vast as in French law. The trend of the judged in Brazil is in an intermediate position. That is, they aimto encourage innovation, on the one hand, and on the other, limit copying, requiring incremental elements toprovide protection.

Due to the fashion industry’s global reach, spanning many jurisdictions, regulations are difficult to implement, monitor and enforce. Strict voluntary initiatives that focus on raising consumer awareness, thereby creating greater demand for eco fashion have greater potential to lead to reform within the fashion industry. To do so, voluntary initiatives must include clear labeling of ‘eco’ products and designer input, and include strict guidelines for company and designer standards. Standards must take the entire life cycle of a garment into consideration. Fashion can apply lesson from the fair trade coffee industry by appealing to consumers based on ethics and environmental responsibility through a trusted consumerfacing label. Fair trade was successful, in part, due to their recognizable label. Fair trade type certifications are most often business to consumer facing and provide consumers with the environmental and social information on the benefits of purchasing fair trade. Fair trade certification models have capitalized on large retailer involvement, allowing certifications to become mainstreamed and therefore more accessible for consumers.

This thesis examines the ways in which fashion designers think about themselves, the design process, and the fashion industry. Recent interest in design thinking has brought decision making to the forefront in an effort to resolve conflicts between creative individuals and managers during the design process. Within the fashion design literature there are studies of processes in large fashion manufacturing enterprises but very little has focused on small-scale fashion design entrepreneurs. In this inductive, qualitative study, I use grounded theory as the methodology in the analysis of semi-structured interviews of twelve Canadian fashion design entrepreneurs. The findings explore their perceptions of their identity as designers, their perceptions of design process, and their relationship to their business. This research has developed the concept of “artisanal fashion design” as a distinct subset of design for further study and for consideration by organizations, the fashion industry, and educators.
