Abstract

With a constant production increase, fibre is made into over 150 billion garments in a long and dispersive supply chain; as a result of the mutual stimulation of demand and output, garment production has repeatedly surged to new highs; while bringing economic benefits, the rapid growth of fashion industry has also had a profound negative impact on social culture and natural environment, and fashion industry has become one of the most polluted industries in the world after petroleum and gas; Fiber continues to increase production and is manufactured into more than 150 billion pieces of clothing in a long and scattered supply chain. The mutual stimulation of demand and output has made clothing output record high, high growth brings economic benefits and also allows the fashion industry social humanities and the natural environment had a profound negative impact on fashion but also became one of the world's oil and gas after the worst industrial pollution, consumerism-driven fashion culture among contemporary construction of ecological civilization and there is a fierce internal Contradiction, clothing as the main material embodiment of fashion culture, the sustainable correction of its design is the basic means to solve this contradiction. However, there are many difficulties in the process of sustainable correction of clothing design, such as ethical divergence, loss of design value, lack of design theory and methodology system, lack of educational resources, and constraints of the actual environment. It is a prerequisite for designers to develop sustainable fashion design practices and develop sustainable fashion culture to discover and confront these acute problems.
