Fashion and sustainability - a progressive and permanent trend: analysis of the articles published in the 10 editions of ENSUS

Abstract

This article aims to understand the perspectives and contributions of researches that interconnect fashion and sustainability, using as specific context the case of the scientific event Encontro de Sustentabilidade em Projeto - ENSUS. This is a study of quantitative-qualitative approach of exploratory-descriptive type, carried out through a systematic analysis of bibliography, in which, with support of the software IRaMuTeQ®, thematic networks were listed. As for the main results, 76 texts were found classified into three thematic networks: I) Sustainability, production processes and waste use; II) Fashion designer and sustainability; and III) Fashion, consumption and environmental impact. If in the past, the debates focused on the environmental impacts caused by the production and consumption of clothes in a fast and massive way, in the current contemporary context, the discussions are increasingly centered on the creation of strategies and the use of technologies that aim to reduce the socio-environmental consequences caused by the fashion industry.
