With the increased importance of learning about sustainability in fashion design curriculum, this article reports the teaching zero-waste design in existing fashion design courses that teach skills needed to create and construct garments. This study documents the development and delivery of a zero-waste design project in two different levels of fashion design courses. Data were collected before and after the zero-waste design project implementation. By learning about zero-waste design, students’ interest in sustainable living and fashion and consciousness about generating fabric waste was increased. Written comments about student experiences also supported these findings and indicated that the zero-waste design project positively influenced their awareness of sustainability practices.

通过零废物设计项目教授时装设计课程的可持续性

随着在时装设计课程中学习可持续性的重要性日益增加，本文报告了在现有时装设计课程中教授零浪费设计的情况，这些课程教授创造和构建服装所需的技能。本研究记录了两个不同级别的时装设计课程中零浪费设计项目的开发和交付。在零废物设计项目实施之前和之后收集了数据。通过学习零废物设计，学生对可持续生活和时尚的兴趣以及产生织物废物的意识得到提高。关于学生经历的书面评论也支持这些发现，并表明零废物设计项目积极影响了他们对可持续性实践的认识。
