An approach that aims to keep garments and materials in use through durable design, repair, reuse and recycling.
Circular fashion considers how clothing can remain useful through successive periods of use and how its materials can circulate afterwards. Design choices affect durability, repairability and the ability to recover materials. Repair, reuse and remaking can preserve the value already contained in a garment, while recycling provides a route for materials when further product use is no longer practical. These activities need supporting services and infrastructure. An individual repair is one contribution to this approach, while a circular system connects product design, continued use and material recovery across the garment’s life.
