Fashion with low-priced and short-lifespan products has become one of the most polluting industries. This paper with the Slow-fashion mindset, investigates an available solution for fashion manufacturing production which is an integration of processes and systems in Smart Factory, so-called the Internet-of-Smart-Clothing, in order to achieve sustainable purposes. Instead of using linear lifecycle of current fashion value chain, this thesis works on the implementation of Industrial Revolution 4.0 into fashion production based on Circular value chain of sustainable fashion in which environmental impacts will be minimized while business profits will be expanded. Nine technologies of Industry 4.0 implemented include: Big Data and Analytics, autonomous robots, simulations, horizontal and vertical system integration, IoTs (Internet of Things), Cybersecurity, Cloud-based software, Additive Manufacturing and Augmented Reality. This paper results in a wide range of methods in which Industry 4.0 can be adopted within all phases of Circular fashion value chain, mostly in production and logistics, including Circular design, Smart fibres in Smart products, Automated production, Smart logistics, nearshoring and recycling which bring about a flexible production with higher product quality, customer satisfaction, enhanced agility, transparency, efficiency and cost-effective.
