Thinking about fashion today requires looking at it from several perspectives, including what relates to environmental issues. One of the issues worth mentioning is certainly the reflection on fashion and sustainability, especially regarding the fact that fashion, in many instances, is seen as frivolous and ephemeral. This article aims to outline a discussion about fashion and sustainability and is divided into three parts, including introduction and closing remarks. We initially present the concept of fashion, then a discussion on the concept of sustainability and, finally, we establish the relationship between fashion and sustainability. In terms of the relationship between environment and society, fashion cannot be considered sustainable because it depends on consumption and pushes on consumption according to the changing of trends. Fashion should be seen as a phenomenon that negatively impacts the environment, but which could have less impactful practices.
