Abstract: With a constant production increase, fibre is made into over 150 billion garments in a long and dispersive supply chain; as a result of the mutual stimulation of demand and output, garment production has repeatedly surged to new highs; while bringing economic benefits, the rapid growth of fashion industry has also had a profound negative impact on social culture and natural environment, and fashion industry has become one of the most polluted industries in the world after petroleum and gas; Fiber continues to increase production and is manufactured into more than 150 billion pieces of clothing in a long and scattered supply chain. The mutual stimulation of demand and output has made clothing output record high, high growth brings economic benefits and also allows the fashion industry social humanities and the natural environment had a profound negative impact on fashion but also became one of the world's oil and gas after the worst industrial pollution, consumerism-driven fashion culture among contemporary construction of ecological civilization and there is a fierce internal Contradiction, clothing as the main material embodiment of fashion culture, the sustainable correction of its design is the basic means to solve this contradiction. However, there are many difficulties in the process of sustainable correction of clothing design, such as ethical divergence, loss of design value, lack of design theory and methodology system, lack of educational resources, and constraints of the actual environment. It is a prerequisite for designers to develop sustainable fashion design practices and develop sustainable fashion culture to discover and confront these acute problems.

Abstract: The fashion industry in Ghana has evolved over time and has created a large market for both the producers and retailers. Ghanaian fashion designers like Mawuli Okudzeto, Genesis Clothing and Kofi Ansah to mention but a few have been able to capture pure African values in their designs. Companies like Akosombo Textiles and TexStyles Ghana Ltd, Vlisco and Woodin are daily producing materials that are becoming so useful to local fashion designers and they in turn are producing the styles that we also enjoy wearing. Ghanaian designers are also making fashion accessories like bags, shoes, jewellery; belts, among others, to match the clothes that they produce. Although Ghanaian fashion designers use metal fasteners in designing clothes and accessories, unfortunately, most of these fasteners are imported products that do not have any philosophical relation with the Ghanaian people. Even worse, the jewellery industry does not consider this venture as a niche market and also as a platform to support local fashion designers to create a holistic Ghanaian concept in what we wear. This paper explored the possibility of producing metal fasteners for Ghanaian fashion accessories industry using the Practice-based research method. The inspiration for the project was the popular Ghanaian Akinkra symbols. The result of the study revealed that metal fasteners could be produced in the studio with local concepts giving a totality of Ghanaian fashion concepts. The study recommends that techniques for the production could also be improved by adopting new production practices such as laser cutting and investment casting methods.

Abstract: Throughout history, human needs are constantly changing. Meet some of these needs, like building for various aspects are willing to spend more money and time. Due to the increasing population and limited urban environment, the need to build structures that have a more lasting and are flexible enough to meet the different needs of the community is more considered. Therefore, mankind has been in search of ways that can increase the durability of his building, as a result, more people can do different activities and each activity can be related to their own time. In this study, It is intended to investigate the use of the features of flexibility in making schools which is one of the most important buildings for humans and its stability over time is considered. The study of school architecture has been done due to the use of three flexible approaches including, elements of flexibility, types of flexibility, and scales flexibility. It seems that the criteria for the design of educational facilities are set based on these three approaches and it has been tried to use these features and results to design an educational complex with a flexible approach. The method used in this study is descriptive and analytical and the argument is inductive.
