On-demand fashion: wardrobe management and trading community

The concept of on-demand fashion has been around for some time. Still, its implementation remains challenging due to fast-paced consumer habits that prioritise quick acquisition over thoughtful decision-making. Intelligent wardrobe management and second-hand fashion exchange have emerged to maximise the use of existing clothing and promote more conscious and sustainable consumption behaviours. This study first provides an in-depth analysis of relevant research and the current state of the industry, summarising the technological pain points in existing wardrobe management systems and second-hand trading platforms, as well as the negative user experiences that impact user engagement. It then addresses typical issues faced by consumers in managing their wardrobes and collects 512 valid feedback responses. Finally, based on consumer feedback and a review of the current situation, this study proposes the construction of an on-demand fashion community that integrates both wardrobe management and second-hand trading. The platform consists of four main modules: My Wardrobe, Outfit, Community, and Profile, with a particular focus on the interactive scenarios of the innovative Outfit and Community modules. The platform proposed in this study is expected to promote more sustainable and conscious fashion consumption.
