DIY is prevalent amongst the fashion community, with ideas being shared on social media, such as YouTube, about clothing, jewellery, makeup, and hairstyles. Techniques include [[distressing]] and bleaching jeans, redesigning  old shirts, and studding denim.

The concept of DIY has also emerged within the art and design community. The terms  [[Hacktivist]], Craftivist, or maker have been used to describe creatives working within a DIY framework (Busch). Otto von Busch describes 'Hacktivism' as "[including] the participant in the process of making, [to give] rise to new attitudes within the 'maker' or collaborator" (Busch 49).<ref>{{Cite thesis |degree=PhD |last=von Busch |first=O. |title=Fashion-able, Hacktivism and engaged Fashion Design |url=https://gupea.ub.gu.se/bitstream/2077/17941/3/gupea_2077_17941_3.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/https://gupea.ub.gu.se/bitstream/2077/17941/3/gupea_2077_17941_3.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live |publisher=University of Gothenburg |year=2008}}</ref> Busch suggests that by engaging in participatory forms of fashion, consumers are able to step away from the idea of "mass-homogenized 'Mc-Fashion{{'"}} [https://www.theguardian.com/books/2003/may/04/fashion.shopping (Lee 2003)"], as fashion Hacktivism allows consumers to play a more active role in engaging with the clothes they wear (Busch 32).
