Fashion and sustainability´s valences: exposing gaps

Abstract

The present article is a quantitative and qualitative study on Fashion and Sustainability, in selected scientific publications. First, it presents a proposal of subareas and criteria divided into five categories on contributions of relevant authors. In the sequence, it exposes the adoption of strategies for statistical verification of researchers presented at Colóquio de Moda (Brazil) and the International Congress of Fashion and Design – CIMODE (Europe). Then, it debates the results of this survey, equalizing, qualitatively, the quantitative presented. Finally, it explores interpretations of the analysis, pointing out gaps for future and further research on Fashion and Sustainability.
