Sumario:Globalization has completely changed the fashion industry and its approach toward sustainability. Fast changing trends are majorly focused on synthetic dyes and fabrics. And these products have failed building the bridge between sustainability and environment-friendly designs. Therefore, this chapter is aimed at the approach toward design development and development of sustainable eco-friendly approach for screen printing by using natural dyes on fabrics like silk and cotton. The chapter is based on sustainable design approach which gives much provision for using natural dyes for everyday change in fashion. The chapter also focuses on color fastness properties of the used dyes. These results were evaluated by carrying out color fastness tests for light, wash, rubbing, and perspiration using standard testing methods. Design methodology used in the study also has the potential for skill development programs for entrepreneurs and also contributes to rural development programs by creating sustainable growth.
