The fashion industry is in a state of constant evolution, with designs and trends becoming quickly outdated, which in turn leads to premature disposal of garments. Previous reports have also shown that the community discards approximately one million tons of textile waste annually. Although 3% of the waste consists of fabric, this is a substantial amount that must be recycled and reused. To address this issue, two potential solutions have been proposed by previous studies, namely the use of timeless and multi-way concepts, which help to lengthen the duration of use for clothes. Therefore, this study aims to analyze women’s ready-to-wear fashion with timeless and multi-way concepts as the potential solution to clothing and textile waste. The research utilizes the mixed method of qualitative and quantitative approach through literature study and questionnaire. The research reveals the potential of timeless and multi-way fashion as the solution to post-consumer textile waste.
