Democra-Sized Fashion to Embed More Sustainable and Personalized Approach: Digital Clothing and Accessories as the Experimental Design Process for Fashion Students

The current shift in trend will move fashion toward democra-sizing, as well as be more personalized and inclusive to meet the needs of client. Therefore, this research focuses on the experimental process of fashion students creating sets of digital clothing and accessories using 3D modeling software to meet the needs and objectives of the client. Furthermore, it describes the design process of a fashion student assigned in groups and paired with a client to embrace the personalized needs. Exploring this state is vital for each group to gain client’s fashionable expressions and translate them into their desired. The experimental process is carried out by analyzing each client’s style, then using the design creative process as a strategy to create a set of clothing and accessories. This is carried out by achieving the implementation of zero-waste design with digital prototyping. The outcome of this research revealed that the experimental design process with digital prototyping could meet the needs of the client. Also, it could drive a positive change by achieving the implementation of zero-waste design for a more sustainable approach with the help of digital 3D modeling software. Therefore, this research revealed the significant role of fashion designers and portrays more explorative and sustainable actions based on digital fashion for academic research and the client’s personal needs.
