Abstract

Within the recent twenty years, the fashion business has seen significant expansion and prosperity which directly and indirectly hurt the planet to overcome this impact companies introduced so many techniques but still there is a gap between what theories argue and what happens when these theories are put into practice. Most researchers have already explored and acknowledged sustainable fashion models, whose definitions, characteristics, and real-time practice are quite somewhat equivocal. Our study wants to confer and understand the different techniques of sustainable fashion and discusses the opportunity as well as the challenges of implementation of these strategies in business. To do that, we use the systematic retrospection of existing literature to pick out the ongoing models of sustainability in the fashion sector. Our study will enhance the body of literature on sustainable fashion It will also be helpful for start-ups who want to be a part of sustainable fashion in their business.
