THE ROLE OF FASHION AND 3D FASHION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF UZBEKISTAN’S LIGHT INDUSTRY

Abstract

The development of digital technologies is transforming the fashion industry and creating new opportunities for textile and garment manufacturers. One of the most significant innovations in this field is 3D fashion design, which allows designers to create, visualize, modify, and present garments in a digital environment before producing physical samples. For Uzbekistan, where the textile and garment sector is an important part of the manufacturing industry, the integration of 3D fashion technologies can contribute to improving product quality, reducing material waste, accelerating design processes, and increasing competitiveness in international markets. This thesis examines the relationship between contemporary fashion development, digital design, and the modernization of Uzbekistan’s light industry. Particular attention is paid to the potential positive effects of 3D technologies on product development, sustainable production, professional education, export opportunities, and the formation of new creative professions.
