Summary

As awareness on fashion’s impact on our world is growing, there are key leaders in the industry who are beginning to question the impacts of the model built on careless production and endless consumption. 3D Virtual Prototype, 3D visualization, 3D Body Scanning and virtual try-on technology solving the proper-fit problem, while providing efficiency in its supply chain, can help the clothing sector meet green targets, without damaging the environment through wasteful manufacturing processes. Concepts of CSR and Collective actions on Sustainability are being explored within the apparel sector. Authors examine the challenges, the threats and the opportunities across the supply chain partners emerging to reduce the environmental footprint. A new fully integrated product development model is proposed, with 3D virtual simulation of design concepts on mannequins that represent the target market of the company with digital fit models based on accurate input size data.
