The IMASUS training modules bring together four complementary approaches to designing within a circular textile system. Rather than presenting sustainability as a single method, they frame it as a set of interconnected design logics that operate across the lifecycle of a garment.

Design for longevity
Durability, repair, adaptability, and attachment.
Design for modularity
Interchangeable components and longer product life.
Design for recyclability
Designing for disassembly and material recovery.
Zero waste design
Patternmaking and construction with no cutting waste.
Together, these modules describe a transition from linear production toward circular practice. They move across different moments of the lifecycle—design, use, transformation, and recovery—while maintaining a shared objective: preserving value in materials, labour, and meaning.
The program is intended as both a conceptual framework and a practical toolkit. It equips designers, educators, and practitioners with strategies to rethink garments not as disposable products, but as evolving systems within a broader ecological and cultural context.
