Abstract
The article starts from the author's experience as a fashion designer and teacher and takes stock of the application of the principles of sustainable development in the field of Fashion, but does not fail to identify reasons and difficulties in the emergence of sustainability theories. The work points out the protagonists of change and underlines the central role of education and training; points out the particular affinity of the artistic and design disciplines with the reasons of the Ethics of Development, since they are structurally linked to human work both in the planning phase and in the realization phase. Then principles and methods of movements and phenomena are indicated, in which the world of sustainable fashion is articulated, particularly critical towards "fast fashion", that is, that system that continuously makes low-quality and low-priced garments, a typical expression of the consumerist model that squanders natural and energy resources, produces pollution and waste, exploits work, so it does not care about the ecological or ethical aspects of production and marketing.
