Redevelop and create new value for second-hand clothing

Abstract

In a materially rich modern world, the diversity of clothing styles, the low cost, and the excessive consumption concept resulted in the reduced service life of clothing, loss of value, and eventually an endless loop of manufacturing, buying, and discarding, which is a waste of resources and materials and a burden of pollution to the living environment. Therefore, encouraging people to redefine second-hand clothes, to look at clothes from a new perspective, and to give them a new fashion value has become an urgent action to be done. For this reason, the author carried out this study. By reviewing relevant literature and in-depth data research on second-hand clothes, the author conducted a questionnaire survey on second-hand clothes, found the problems, obtained people’s needs through the survey, and collected and analyzed the current recycling methods of used clothes. The objective of the study was to use innovation theory and innovation transformation model to redevelop and design old clothes, realize reuse and value, and design effective solutions to solve the problem of second-hand clothes. This design helps people look at second-hand clothing from a new perspective, expand people’s way of thinking, influence their way of life, and increase the attention to sustainable development
