SOLUTIONS FOR CREATING SUSTAINABLE FASHION TREND :
Reach out to the government
Reach out to professors of the disciplines at universities
Reaching out to high school and university students
Reach out to governments to request the implementation of taxation to fast fashion industries and provide production subsidies to business administration and fast fashion companies for selling clothes (remains) from everyday stock at 30-60% markdowns to entrepreneurs (fashion designers) or university fashion schools to inspire their students to come up with their own sustainable and eco-friendly fashion designs and show them off in the way, described in solution 2 part, charging no taxes to recreate clothes and sell them at up to 70 percent discounts to local stores in order to attract customers and increase their interests in these new trends. Besides that, for the aforementioned go-to-box system, reach out to the city and municipal authorities to get permission for setting up the bins in the right places as well as to create a special team for collecting the disposed of items and under the government policy, the authorities of these local government bodies will have direct communication with the nearby fast fashion industries as well as the local fashion schools where the young people usually go and then they will liaise between these two groups and ensure the appropriate markdowns for selling clothes to the young designers as well as marketing those products when prepared at the fixed price. We got this idea by seeing the case of the sugar tax. In fact, the World Health Organisation’s evidence suggests that a tax that raises prices by 20% can lead to a reduction in consumption of around 20%.
Within the world off ashion and convince them to lead projects on a monthly basis where all of their students will be involved in and they will have a specific missions in a month, the students will carry out their own used cloaks and try to turn these dresses into a new patterned dress or, design on it and after the design is approved by leaders, students will show up their products in a monthly festival arranged by university authorities in their own grounds where the people who care about arts, crafts, trends, fashions, youth interests will be invited and they will observe the whole show off and there will be a lobbying system where the invited parties and students can discuss on the products between them even they can make any business deals or take orders from them but this should be via the presence of a university representative who will liaise with both of the parties and manage the relationship as well as perform the role of an alibi when any transaction will take place to avoid any scandal or denial.
a. Avoiding the use of non-biodegradable and unsuitable rough materials like polyester, dye color, over-chemicalized natural fabrics, spandex, nylon, etc. and instead of these, encourage the use of biodegradable and eco-friendly fashion materials like silk, hemp, bamboo, jute, leaf fibers, abaca fibers, as well as cork, seeds, shells, nuts and woods.
b. Building up the habit of repairing or remodeling the household or official products that have been used or literally lost their values. After remaking, try to sell these products on themselves by creating an online short-term business page or in a network where the fashion concerned people are usually included like the UN-affiliated The conscious Fashion and Lifestyle Network. And if there's no fashion network existing within the specific locality, some entrepreneurs and eco-friendly fashion designers can create their own network.
c. Raising awareness amongst neighborhood and community for reusing, recycling, and reducing the clothing materials thrown out on landfills or creating a go-to-box system, an interlinked system that starts from disposing of the used, torn out, dingy clothes in the boxes or bins set up in the entrance ways of each colony, street and municipal areas and ends up by marketing the remodeled and repaired apparels managed from these previously used dresses in the nearby shops, supermarkets and warehouses. In this process, these student communities can easily play a central role. They will ensure that the people in their colonies have disposed of the recyclable and reusable dresses in the bins each month and after disposal, if they feel interested, they can personally work on these items or supply them to a place where the young people work with these goods.
