Abstract

The fashion industry is facing numerous sustainability-related challenges due to growing consciousness about the egregious extent of global environmental problems. This study examines research trends on sustainable fashion based on five macro trends related to sustainable innovation in the fashion industry. Using the content analysis and network analysis methods, 115 research papers published in domestic and international journals from 2017 to 2021 were collected and analyzed. The study conclusions are as follows. First, majority of domestic papers(55.41%) focused on circular economy, whereas other topics such as consumer awareness(1.35%) and corporate social responsibility(2.70%), are yet to be thoroughly examined; majority of international papers(53.65%) focused on sharing economy and collaborative consumption, whereas other topics such as technological innovation(2.44%), are yet to be thoroughly examined. Second, domestic papers have found that many brands(68.57%) are applying the concept of circular economy, whereas international papers have found that many brands(51.56%) are applying the concept of sharing economy and collaborative consumption. The study results provide useful data for corporate management in the fashion industry.
