“…Concerning RQ1, students observed on-trend or unique apparel pieces from their professors' wardrobe, followed by higher quality of apparel, more new items, and more bold items. This finding suggests that students did notice the change of their professors' wardrobe during the 10-week period, aligning with previous literature (Martindale & Lee, 2019). Regarding RQ2, the findings suggest that students are more likely to rent for special occasions than adopt the service for everyday apparel for themselves.…”

“…The purposive and convenience sample of students was chosen instead of coworkers, because they observed the professors in class two or three days per week. The survey was developed to measure student observations of professors' apparel using four yes or no questions and an open-ended response option (Martindale & Lee, 2019). Next, student perceptions of apparel rental services and adoption of apparel rental services were measured using benefits and motivations for adopting rental services from previous literature.…”

“…From the professor's perspective, more professional dress can help professors distinguish themselves from students, show authority, and present themselves to peers (Abbasi, 2012). Martindale and Lee (2019) is the only known study that evaluated student perceptions of textile and apparel faculty dress by exploring a minimal transformative wardrobe.…”

“…Environmental motivations (10%) were reflected through citations such as "green/eco-friendly," "reduce carbon footprint," and "re/upcycle." Another study by Martindale and Lee (2019) supported the low importance of pro-environmental concerns as a motivation to reduce apparel consumption. Participants of the study (students) believed that sustainability alone was an insufficient reason for adopting minimal transformable wardrobes.…”

Following food, mobility, and household-energy use, the consumption of textiles and fashion in Europe has been identified as the fourth highest environmental pressure category in terms of use of primary resources. Slow fashion advocates argue that it is necessary to reevaluate our relationship with clothes and to reduce overall fashion consumption in affluent countries. This article examines a relatively new practice of voluntary reduction of apparel consumption through the lens of three popular online minimalist fashion challenges that encourage participants to use a limited number of clothes, shoes, and accessories over a certain period. It explores how the initiators of the challenges frame the reasons that lead to downsizing, the benefits from undertaking the challenge and the idea of "good life" as the result of living with less. The findings indicate that rationales for voluntary reduction of apparel consumption are more focused on individual wellbeing than on altruistic concerns. The analysis also suggests that in defining an upper limit in apparel consumption (how many garments a wardrobe should contain), numerical indicators serve as a benchmark rather than a goal.

The article deals with the problem of environmental education of future teachers in carrying out educational design projects on the creation of fashion collections of clothing. The project has been carried out using the patchwork technique based on literary and musical folklore. In the process of working on the project, students have been prompted to adhere to the principles of ethical design and consumption of clothing, commonly named as sustainable fashion: made-to-order clothing production; use of environmental materials; high quality of products; observance of the rights of employees of the fashion industry and ethical standards in communication with them, protection of animals; repair and processing of clothing; rental of clothing; wearing second-hand clothes. The study uses a method of ecological ritualization that makes it possible to appeal to ethnic traditions. The experimental group of participants of the pedagogical experiment has been tasked to create a collection of clothing on the project theme -Responsible fashion -trends of the future‖. The purpose of the project is the creative recycling of used clothing, remnants of fabric, yarn and creating of modern and comfortable clothes. The project has been carried out in such stages: 1) research or search; 2) draft; 3) project and 4) technological. To carry out the design project using recycling technologies, a combination of patchwork techniques, -Crazy Quilt‖ and -Crazy Wool‖ from waste fabrics and yarns was chosen. The participants of the control group made a creative collection of clothes based on the self-selected creative source. As a result, the largest changes in the number of students with high readiness to follow the principles of responsible fashion have occurred in the experimental group. A pedagogical experiment with a level of significance α = 0.05 has confirmed the effectiveness of design using recycling techniques (patchwork, -Crazy Quilt‖, -Crazy Wool‖) for the formation of youth willingness to follow the principles of sustainable fashion.
