Abstract

ABSTRACT - In an effort to meet the increasing demand for inexpensive, disposable goods, the fashionindustry has adopted a business model which prioritises cost effectiveness above all else. Thisbusiness model, known as ‘fast fashion’, had been reportedly known to encourage consumersto discard clothing at an alarming rate which in turn burdens landfills, creating a cycle ofwaste. This throwaway culture stemming from fast fashion raises alarms of the impact of theincessant reliance of synthetic fibres and chemically intensive processes which exacerbatesenvironmental degradation over a long period of time. Objective – This paper aims to highlight and explore the need for a shift in the fashion industry’s standards. This paper also aims to further encourage sustainable business models, advocate for consumer awareness, emphasising these factors as crucial drivers of change.   Methodology – The literature review method was employed to analyze the data in order to acquire a more comprehensive understanding of the complex interrelationships among fast fashion, manufacturing costs, and environmental impacts. Findings – This paper has revealed the realistic hard and soft, short, medium and long-term solutions to attack the problem at its root cause. Furthermore, fast fashion’s impact on the environment isdetrimental and requires a dire need of reevaluation of its practices to urgently ensure a moresustainable and responsible future of the fashion industry. Novelty – For companies which indulge in the fast fashion business model like SHEIN to implement sustainable alternatives such as using eco-friendly materials and textiles, ethical labour practices, and innovative recycling methods to be used as potential solutions in order to mitigate the environmental damage caused by the fast fashion industry and possibly encourage their consumers to understand thedamage caused by the cycle of waste.

Abstract

Magodang is an innovative application designed for children aged 8–14, as well as their parents and educators, aiming to develop real-world skills and build student portfolios. In an increasingly competitive educational landscape, portfolios are essential for showcasing students' academic and professional journeys. However, many students, including those who are homeschooled or have special needs, face significant challenges in accessing skill development programs. Magodang addresses these barriers by connecting users with workshops, competition preparation programs, coaching sessions, and certifications through a user-friendly platform enriched with gamification features. The application provides personalized program recommendations, intuitive navigation, and collaborative tools that empower parents and educators. These features help parents identify programs aligned with their children’s interests and assist educators in integrating extracurricular activities into classroom settings. The research employs the Semantic Literature Review (SLR) method, descriptive qualitative analysis, and the Design Thinking framework to create an interactive and relevant platform. Tools such as Miro, Figma, and Google Forms are used for ideation, prototyping, and surveys. The findings demonstrate that Magodang enhances student engagement, fosters collaboration among stakeholders, and addresses gaps in traditional education systems. It provides a practical solution for early skill development, creating an inclusive and accessible educational environment for all learners.
