Abstract: Fashion and textile products evolve through several processes that involve the conversion of fibre to yarn, yarn to fabric and fabric to garment.During these processes, there are numerous evidences from the past that the fashion and textile producers are not giving much attention to sustainable practices.With the growing global interest on sustainability and increased consumer awareness, fashion and textile industries have taken initiatives to offer sustainable solutions in their production lines.There are a number of approaches taken by the stakeholders in the fashion production starting from fibre production to garment manufacturing even the supply chain management to fulfil the sustainability requirements.Fashion items produced using sustainable practises can contribute to environmental, social, and economic well-being leading to a green earth in the future.This review presents the data and findings collected from relevant "review and research articles" relating to sustainable fashion and textile production that are available in selected databases.This paper reviews the recent trends in the sustainable fashion and textile production in various stages of fibre, yarn, fabric and garment manufacturing.Furthermore, the roles played by various governing bodies, manufacturers and retailers including the consumers for producing "sustainable fashion and textiles" are also discussed..
