Popis: modular design, fashion accessories, life cycle, sustainability. Modular design is considered by many as the key for a good design practice. Indeed, thinking products in terms of modularity has a tremendous potential, allowing the reliability and quality of the product, enabling maintenance, repair, easy assembly or disassemble, differential consumption and also the reduction of production costs by companies when a family of products with the same modules is created. These characteristics can have a major impact in the product life cycle, improving the extension of lifetime, reduction of waste and exploration of natural resources.
