Research showed that buying products easily recognizable by others is associated with status and/or conspicuous consumption.

Building on existing literature, it investigated how status, conspicuousness, self-monitors, self-esteem, materialism, brand loyalty, opinion seekers and leaders, and gender influenced wearing visually branded clothing. A conceptual model was developed combining these constructs. An online questionnaire was conducted amongst 206 individuals, and the model was tested using PLS-SEM. Results indicated that materialism, conspicuous consumers, and brand loyalty affected the decision to wear logo clothes, whereas status consumers, self-monitors, self-esteem, and opinion seekers and leaders were not significant in explaining the dependent variable.

This study examines choice of sustainability certifications, certification process, and use of labelling, by a range of Australasian fashion brands who promote sustainability as a core part of their customer-facing image. The research identifies a five-stage framework for sustainability certification, as well as indicating failures of current systems relative to user needs.

This paper empirically analyses their geometric data entry, construction space, methods, workflow, and outputs, highlighting differences between the two. The results show that the traditional approach offers faster data entry but lacks editability, while the parametric approach prioritizes data modification efficiency despite requiring more time for initial entry. The traditional approach allows quicker construction but becomes time-consuming for significant pattern changes, whereas the parametric approach, although slower to construct, offers editable blocks for efficient modification. The parametric approach captures both geometric shapes and block logic, in contrast to the traditional approach's focus solely on geometric shapes. The parametric approach supports the creation of custom garments, reducing waste and promoting sustainability, while the traditional approach leads to static blocks necessitating recreation for each new wearer. Accordingly, educational institutions should spearhead the transition to the parametric approach.","PeriodicalId":39443,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology and Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135569425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

 Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data, or that which can be collected without field work. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resource; hence, it is often considered a low - cost technique compared to field work. The study relied on already- published studies, reports, and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through online research and the library.
 Findings: The study's findings revealed statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the direction of measurement of the study sample's opinions, as well as the existence of a correlation between the mean scores of each of the axes in the proposed study's mindset scale. These outcomes prove that the fashion renewal of durable gowns is one of the ways to verify garment sustainability.
 Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The concept of the circular fashion theory is derived from the broader concept of the circular economy, which aims to reduce waste and extend the lifespan of fashion products. The theory promotes sustainable practices such as up- cycling, refurbishing, and remanufacturing to create new value from existing garments. In other words, it encourages the reuse of materials and products to minimize waste and reduce environmental impact. In addition by applying circular fashion theory, designers can upgrade selected evening gowns by repurposing existing materials, incorporating sustainable textiles, or redesigning elements of the gowns to make them versatile and timeless. This theory encourages a shift from the linear \"take-make-dispose\" model to a more sustainable and circular approach. By adopting circular fashion practices, we can help create a more sustainable future for the fashion industry. Sustainability could potentially act as an argument for future studies in the fashion and design businesses. The study is expected to benefit policymakers and stakeholders in the fashion business in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study findings will be used to improve and develop the performance of fashion design sustainability. The study recommends that the adoption of effective fashion design for durable evening gowns will help achieve fashion sustainability.","PeriodicalId":39443,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology and Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135778912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
