Sustainable Development Concept in Fashion Industry – Literature Review

This paper explores mainly sustainability issues in the fashion industry in order to build a theoretical platform for better understanding of present and future trends. According to the fact that textile, clothing and footwear industry, that present fashion industry, are one of the biggest environmental polluters in the world, there is a constant need for application of Sustainable Development Concept as an answer to a fast fashion concept. There are a lot of associations that highlight problems and positive examples of applying sustainable development concepts in the fashion industry, but there is still a lack of people’s awareness according to the ecological, social and economy issues. As a counterpoint to so- called Fast fashion a social movement of sustainable approach to fashion was born in the early seventies that combines eco-design, emerging fibers, recycling, conscious consumption and other things that are connecting to the contemporary approach to fashion that puts all of its elements into balance.
