BALOOK: Projeto e implementação de um aplicativo de moda consciente utilizando um framework em javascript

Abstract

The textile and fashion industries have undergone profound changes in recent decades due to environmental issues. These sectors of the economy are responsible for extremely high levels of pollution and damage to the environment, which has become the target of questioning by society. Trends such as sustainable fashion and behavioral changes in conscious consumption began to have a direct impact on the manufacture of garments and on the fashion world as a whole. This paper aims to present a proposal for the use of mobile technologies in favor of this cause: it is the design and implementation of the Balook application, which aims to help users control their wardrobes in a more organized way, avoiding waste and spreading conscious consumption concepts. The implementation makes use of Javascript-based frameworks, aiming at easy integration between its modules and scalability potential. The tests were conducted with volunteer students from the Industrial Design course and were conducted using the application and answering a questionnaire with questions regarding the concepts of conscious fashion and ease of use. The results showed points of interface improvement to be studied in the next iteration of the project, as well as pointing out the presence of some bugs that will also be targets for correction.
