Abstract. This work presents the design and implementation of a mobile application for home wardrobe management, aimed at promoting sustainability in fashion by encouraging more conscious clothing choices. The theoretical part of the article deals with the concept of fast fashion and its impact on different areas of the fashion industry and defines the problem with existing apps in this field. The practical section includes the design of an information system based on a user preferences survey, and includes a visualization of the system architecture. This section also describes the implementation process of two parts of the system, namely the creation of a clothing classification application using the CRISP-DM methodology and the development of a mobile app for the Android operating system, as well as the testing process. The conclusion evaluates the outcomes of the project and outlines potential directions for future enhancements.
