International Journal of Sustainable Fashion & Textiles is a peer-reviewed industry publication and the world’s first ongoing subscription journal dedicated to the area of sustainability and ethics in the fashion and textiles industry. Its principal aim is to provide a platform for the advancement of sustainable fashion and textiles innovation, raise awareness of the issues and disseminate how sustainable solutions can be implemented.
The subject is approached from a range of perspectives, publishing a variety of conceptual, theoretical and practice based work from around the world. Submissions are invited from both industry and academics on all aspects of ethical and sustainable fashion and textiles which address the key themes of sustainable materials, design, ethical production, distribution, retail and consumption, and education.
The journal will seek to stimulate ongoing research in these, and other, areas, not only from scholars researching in these areas, but also from practitioners, museum curators, NGOs, and others traditionally excluded from academic debate. The journal will thus encourage interdisciplinary research that crosses – and indeed challenges – the boundaries between the humanities and the social sciences, in an aim to unite and enlarge an increasingly global community of researchers and practitioners working in this extremely topical area.
How can the fashion industry embrace sustainable design thinking to create innovative and strategic solutions which address social and environmental exploitation through products and markets that support empowerment? We welcome article contributions on all aspects of social, environmental and economic sustainability in fashion. Topics include but are not limited to:
The mission ofInternational Journal of Sustainable Fashion & Textiles is to unite industry, education and organizations worldwide to raise awareness of the issues and create positive change.

Through International Journal of Sustainable Fashion & Textiles our goal is to not only publish the most current information and engaging content on all aspects of sustainability in fashion and textiles, but also to showcase practical tools that can be adopted by the industry, create solutions to the current challenges and have a genuine impact.
All articles undergo initial editorial screening either by the journal's Editorial Team and/or incumbent Guest Editors.
