- Why refashion? Fashion, poetics and hybridisation of creative methods for a sustainable futurePublication . Pardo Cuenca, Desamparados; Broega, Ana Cristina; IPCB. ESARTAbstract : Although in the last 10 years collaborative design and design for sustainability processes have been increasingly used, there is still a great of lack of knowledge and precision in the development of precise collaborative methodologies and holistic applications of sustainable hybrid techniques that favor the development of co-creative and gen-erative circular processes. The paradox of fast fashion and the pursuit of modernity, coupled with the need to care for the earth's resources in a sustainable manner that includes social, economic and environmental impacts, is a difficult dilemma to solve. Some studies have proposed exploring upcycling circular design processes; however, their methodological limitations and the absence of a clear and oriented design thinking process restrict them to seek the inspiration from textile waste in an artisanal perspective. These development processes are often imprecise in their methodology and accidental in their creation process, which generates little credibility, communicative secu-rity and didactic replication in the classroom. In addition, the lack of precision and fine-tuning brings them closer to artisanal technical methods, lacking rigorous narrative logic and holistic de-sign thinking. This research explored the design for sustainability processes, focusing on finding collaborative methodologies of rigorous design thinking that would help students explore and strengthen their individual and group identities by applying sustainable hybridization techniques throughout the design process. The focus was on how we educate designers for a sustainable and collaborative future. We built a collaborative methodological conceptual model of sustainable approach that was tested in different projects over different academic years. The results demonstrate that the implementation of collaborative meth-odologies with sustainable approaches in the ap-plication of specific eco-design techniques and the construction of a group identity based on research, assignment analysis, and the use of creative techniques and tools that generate reflec-tive learning contribute to the collaborative methodologies and to the effective implemen-tation of this methodology in the teachings of fashion design with a circular approach.
