In a context of the environmental crisis generated by fast fashion, responsible for 20% of the global wastewater and millions of tons of textile waste, design positions itself as a key educational tool. More than creating, designing implies comprehending the complete life cycle of a garment, from the materials used to its potential for reuse, repair, or recycling.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In higher education, there is a growing interest in biodegradable fibers (such as organic cotton, linen, or hemp), innovative materials (bio-leather, textiles made from recycled plastics), and circular design approaches, which create garments designed for multiple use cycles. These practices teach us to question each decision: Why choose this material? What impact will this design have at the end of its life?<\/span><\/p>\n
