Could Punk Style be the New Solution for Up-Cycling Fashion?

This study examines the integration of punk fashion within the context of Industry 5.0 and its combination with up-cycling fashion design to address the negative environmental impacts of the fashion industry. By analyzing the expression techniques of punk fashion, the research explores their application in creating new, innovative fashion styles. The study employs the CPAM model of creativity evaluation by Besemer and Treffinger (1981) and Dacey (1989). During the design and development process, punk style expression skills were merged with up-cycling design concepts. Designs were adjusted and prototyped using CLO 3D software, culminating in the development of a series of high-end fashion products. Evaluation results indicated that these designs achieved notable success in terms of innovation and sustainability. The findings suggest that punk fashion not only has the potential to inspire new fashion trends but also offers valuable insights and practices for sustainable fashion design.
