Yet existing literature often explains what circular fashion is without demonstrating how it can be implemented inside real design workflows, material decisions, and production systems. This book responds to that challenge by placing the designer at the centre of interconnected ecological, technical, and organisational systems. Drawing on systems thinking, circular design methodologies, material innovation, and Industry 4.0 technologies, the book offers visual frameworks, case-based insights, and practical tools that support the transition from linear to circular fashion systems. Topics include material health and monomaterial design, upcycling and regeneration at scale, digital prototyping and smart production, traceability and data flows, and circular business models for both start-ups and established brands. Bridging creativity, policy literacy, and operational decision-making, this book offers a structured and applied contribution to sustainable fashion education and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students in sustainable fashion and design, as well as fashion professionals, educators, and sustainability practitioners seeking applied, EU-aligned approaches to circular design and product development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJane Rüsz Scaffidi Abbate\u003c\/b\u003e is an international fashion sustainability specialist, author, educator, and consultant.
