In addition to this, the fashion industry must focus on social and environmental concerns, where it should create fashionable products to promote sustainable consumption and production. Sustainable consumption and production can be achieved with the establishment of resilient infrastructure with innovation. e resilient infrastructure with innovation is realized by the integration of digital technologies such as the Internet of ings (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR). With this motivation, this study explored the different studies that implemented these technologies in the fashion industry for smart cloth (health), supply chain, circular economy, dress recommendation system, fashion trend forecasting, health prediction, and virtual and augmented based shopping experience. Along with the progress of these technologies in the fashion industry, the study also discussed limitations and provided recommendations such as wide adoption of blockchain in fashion supply chain; advancement in energy storage for smart cloth; integration of IoT, AI, and edge computing; and smart clothing-based framework for rescue operation for future enhancement. 1. Introduction e fashion industry is one most significant manufacturing industries that generate an economy of 3 trillion dollars and contributes to 2% of world gross domestic product (GDP) [1]. e fashion industry plays a crucial role in the design, manufacturing, and selling of clothes and garments. Moreover, the industry encompasses diverse sectors, in- cluding fabrication of raw materials, manufacture of fashion clothes and garments by designers, commercialization, and marketing communication [2]. However, according to United Nations, the fashion industry has a lack of concern for social and environmental issues [3] as it produces 8–10% of the global CO 2 emissions [4, 5], consumes 79 trillion liters of water per year, contributes to 35% of microplastic pol- lution, and generates >92 million tonnes of textiles waste per year [6]. e fashion industry is also a contributor to the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs) for social, economic, and environmental sustainability [7], and it needs to achieve the following major SDGs: goal 9: build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation [8]; goal 12: ensure Hindawi Scientific Programming Volume 2022, Article ID 7523246, 17 pages https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/7523246
