La moda è nota per le sue pratiche di spreco dannose per l'ambiente. La produzione della moda rilascia il 10% delle emissioni di carbonio nel mondo, più della somma dei voli internazionali e del trasporto marittimo. L'industria della moda è responsabile del 20% di tutto l'inquinamento dell'acqua nel mondo. Se l'industria della moda continua a mantenere il suo attuale ritmo di sviluppo, la sua impronta di carbonio rappresenterà il 26% dell'impronta di carbonio mondiale entro il 2050. Un caso reale: Il 24 aprile 2013, la tragedia del Rana Plaza ha ucciso più di 1.100 lavoratori dell'abbigliamento in Bangladesh e ne ha feriti più di 2.200. Dobbiamo riflettere su come documentari come "true cost" rivelino come l'industria del fast fashion consumi le risorse della terra e utilizzi manodopera schiavizzata per passare costi "economici" al consumatore finale. Per questo motivo, nel Manifesto del Design di Montreal del 2017, è emerso un gruppo di professionisti provenienti da tutto il mondo, in rappresentanza di designer, architetti, urbanisti e paesaggisti. La dichiarazione ha stabilito una posizione comune intorno all'uso del design per risolvere e superare enormi sfide economiche, sociali e ambientali al fine di raggiungere uno sviluppo più sostenibile. Ovviamente, alcuni passi devono essere fatti per correggere questa situazione e sconvolgere l'intero settore. Tra questi, il riciclaggio e il riutilizzo di vestiti di seconda mano sono diventati una tendenza di sviluppo che incoraggia i consumatori ad acquistare vestiti nuovi in modo più ecologico. Lo scopo di questa tesi è quello di progettare un servizio efficace per aiutare a risolvere questa situazione. Combinando i concetti di moda contemporanea, fornendo servizi online e luoghi di esperienza offline sono combinati in una forma di servizio, pensando alle loro esigenze dalla prospettiva dei clienti. Da un lato, i servizi online forniscono ai clienti prodotti di seconda mano che vogliono per raggiungere i loro obiettivi. I vecchi vestiti cercano nuovi proprietari per evitare il destino di farli finire in discarica, riducendo così l'impatto sull'ambiente. Dall'altro lato, fornirà anche luoghi offline, insegnerà alcuni metodi semplici e innovativi, e fornirà alcune strutture e materiali di base, in modo che i clienti possano sperimentare da soli, e trasformare i vestiti "inutili" nelle loro mani in disegni attuali più adatti. Rompendo così il tradizionale metodo di acquisto. Ridurre i rifiuti di abbigliamento e promuovere la nascita di un nuovo circolo virtuoso della moda.

Abstract
Fashion is notorious for its environmentally harmful wasteful practices. Fashion production releases 10% of the world's carbon emissions, more than the sum of international flights and maritime transportation. The fashion industry accounts for 20% of all water pollution in the world. If the fashion industry continues to maintain its current development momentum, its carbon footprint will account for 26% of the world's carbon footprint by 2050. Real case: On April 24, 2013, the Rana Plaza tragedy killed more than 1,100 garment workers in Bangladesh and injured more than 2,200 others. We have to reflect on how documentaries such as "true cost" reveal how the fast fashion industry consumes the earth's resources and uses slave labor to pass "cheap" costs to the final consumer. For this reason, in the 2017 Montreal Design Manifesto, a group of professionals from all over the world emerged, representing designers, architects, urban planners and landscape designers. The declaration established a common position around the use of design to solve and overcome huge economic, social, environmental and social challenges in order to achieve more sustainable development. Obviously, some steps need to be taken to correct this situation and disrupt the entire industry.
