ABSTRACT
The fashion industry today is increasingly under fire for being unsustainable and destructive — from the fast fashion rush to pollution and the rapid use of natural resources. On the other hand, India has a rich textile culture that brings to the table green alternatives developed over centuries with sustainable craft – block printing, handloom weaving, natural dying and traditional embroidery have deep cultural roots here. Modern technology for sustainable fashion and traditional Indian textile techniques, motifs and materials. This research investigates how modern sustainable fashion technology can integrate with India’s traditional textile techniques patterns and materials. In order to produce clothing that is both economically and environmentally responsible, the project will examine how traditional methods might be combined with sustainable 21st-century innovations including digital printing, waterless dyeing, and circular fashion design models. The study offers a conceptual framework in which traditional processes are improved by sustainable technology without endangering the livelihoods or cultural identity of artisans. With practical advice for designers, legislators, and corporate executives, this study advances the new subject of sustainable fashion. In addition to encouraging cultural preservation and strengthening local communities, it highlights how India's textile legacy contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). According to the report, this
kind of integration provides a feasible route to a fashion sector in the digital age that is more ethical, ecological, and culturally diverse.
