Fashion and clothing have been inseparable attributes of one another. While fashion reflects the latest trends, clothing demarcates the association of fabric material to the body. Clothing seeks to represent a visual celebration of the body that, eventually echoes the thematic epiphany of the fashion world. However, fashion also leads to massive clothing waste due to the early disposal of clothes ending up in landfills each year. An alternate paradigm to address this issue of early disposal of clothes is the restoration of clothes through mending and turning back to needlework. Although mainstream consumers surmount emotional intelligence and, are profoundly conscious of the environmental impacts, there is a wide gap between this intellectual awareness and the echoed consumer behavior. Thus, my research examines modern consumer behavior to enumerate the early disposal of clothes under the influence of fast- fashion. It also focuses on the declining trivial exchange between the clothes and their meaning that further weakens the metaphysical bond between the consumer leading to early disposal. Thus, my paper is an approach to review various reasons that contribute to the early disposal of clothes. It examines the reasons behind the degeneration of metaphysical bonding between consumers and clothing. Thereafter, my research shall establish repair practices and needlework as an alternate approach that can facilitate the postponement of early disposal of clothes.
