Critical Analysis of Fashion and Sustainability: An Umbrella Review From a Decolonial Approach

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT The fashion industry is currently associated with numerous socio‐environmental impacts. Various efforts have emerged to explore pathways toward more sustainable fashion. This study aims to conduct an umbrella review to understand the prevailing perspectives and to identify the proposed paths toward fashion, sustainability, and a decolonial approach within scientific literature. Key areas of discussion identified in this work include policy, labor, supply chain, industry, production processes, product development, business models, marketing, post‐consumption, and consumer. Findings indicate that most studies suggest incremental changes without examining in‐depth transformations in economic or social organization.
