Abstract

Rapid trend changes from time to time affect fashion industry development extremely and eventually bring about the ready-to-wear concept in the fast-fashion industry. This concept brings on fashion at an affordable price, easy to access, and with massive and quick production capacity, causing new issues, e.g., increased fashion waste and environmental pollution due to non-degradable waste. Addressing these issues calls for relevant education, which can be given by fashion actors, such as fashion schools, by delivering sustainable fashion courses. This research aims to assess sustainable fashion upcycling products aesthetically and analyze fashion school preparedness to deliver the sustainable fashion course. A qualitative method was used to generate descriptive data, which were then analyzed to acquire the results of the aesthetical assessment of upcycling products. Primary data were collected through structured interviews with several panelists, composed of designers and lecturers at fashion schools. Secondary data were collected through a literature study. Data was obtained from five panelists with the data analysis technique used was the narrative qualitative data analysis technique. The results demonstrated that aesthetic indicators in design elements and principles were notable in all upcycling products, making those products reliable references to fashion school students enrolling in the sustainable fashion course.
