Although when people think about fashion most don’t immediately think of Australia, the country has been growing their fashion industry a lot in recent years. In 2021 Australia was ranked as the tenth largest e-commerce market in the world, bringing in 25.2 billion dollars (Moore, 2020). The growth of Australia’s fashion e-commerce has also brought up concerns about the impact that it has on the environment. Australian fashion designers have used technology to create fabrics that are environmentally safer, using recycled materials to avoid fabrics such as polyester being used and polluting waterways (Burton, 2022). It’s important that with Australia’s e-commerce growth they take the needed steps to ensure that they aren’t hurting the environment in that process. Australia’s technology specifically in the jewelry portion of the fashion industry has seen an immense amount of growth. There has been new jewelry design software’s created that helps to push the boundaries of what designs can be made for jewelry pieces (Sherr, 2022). With these new developments in jewelry designs such as CAD, CAM, and 3D printing Australian companies can grow their businesses and create even better designs.
