	abstract = {This article analyses the concept of “Zero Waste” in the fashion industry and highlights its current character and the need
for its implementation. The aim of the paper is to examine the various strategies and benefits associated with adopting
zero waste practices in the fashion sector in order to minimize the negative impact on the environment. The idea’s
relevance is driven by growing global concerns about pollution and climate change, with the fashion industry considered
one of the most polluting industries in the world. The main aim of the paper is to highlight the importance of adopting
sustainable and innovative practices that will significantly reduce textile waste and promote a circular economy in this
sector. The aim of the study process is to identify and analyse effective methods for implementing zero waste principles
and to highlight the role of consumer education in maintaining these practices. As part of the research, concrete
examples of designers and collections are presented that have successfully adopted these principles and demonstrate
their feasibility as well as economic and ecological advantages. The information obtained as a result of the study process
highlights the need for close collaboration between all stakeholders in the fashion industry to transform the way clothing
is produced and consumed. The practical applications carried out by the authors demonstrate the possibility of obtaining
models of current garments by applying modern design techniques using CLO 3D software. It highlights the fact that by
applying innovative design and production practices, the fashion industry can become a model of sustainability,
contributing to a more ecological and responsible future.},
