Abstract: The ravenous hunger of fashion for emerging trends and contemporary styles has contributed significantly to ecological carbon footprint resulting in massive environmental degradation. Fashion from past few decades is undergoing a transformative shift towards sustainable practices and approaches. This study investigates the multifaceted perspective to green wardrobe through a comprehensive review on sustainable fashion approaches such as sustainable raw materials, ethical production practices and circular economy including recycling and upcycling. This study explores the extent to which the adoption of sustainable materials, including recycled fabrics and biodegradable fibers, contribute in reducing the industry’s carbon footprint. It also covers go green practices such as zero waste pattern making and sustainable denim. It also highlights the role of technology such as digital design tools in reducing the use of energy and resources during production. Additionally, it addresses the potential of new fashion models practiced by designers such as slow fashion, rental services, capsule wardrobe and upcycling to promote responsible consumption and minimise waste generation.
