Based on the neo-Schumpeterian and institutionalist theoretical approach, this study analyzes the expansion of the apparel and fashion industry productive arrangement in the Belém Metropolitan Region (BMR), state of Pará, and institutional tissue from 1991 to 2008. The study aims at analyzing the formation and development of local production, identifying the configuration and characteristics of the production structure and institutional support activities and the synergy between agents. It also analyzes how the forms of governance are constituted and the existing externalities and how these can dynamize the production arrangements development process. This study proposes to answer three questions: Why did not the clothing industry segment develop in BMR? How are the dynamics of the sector and the characteristics of technological innovation phenomena in the sector experienced by small and mid-sized apparel business owners in BMR? How do the two processes, modernization and precariousness coexist in the BMR apparel sector? The empirical research conducted represents 55% of formal employment in BMR. In this process, the non-existence of institutional actions prior to the researched period was observed and this limited the sector's scientific and technological evolution as well as the development of the production chain. This condition led atomized producers to low levels of synergy and representativeness. As a result, industry growth rates were very low and difficulties in finding qualified labor are pointed out as the major obstacle to industry development. Most of the existing companies are uniform producers, but over the past three years, an opening of companies dedicated to the manufacturing of fashion products has been observed. Despite the difficulty found by the industries in operation, a social movement was seen in the construction and expansion of technical knowledge and promotion of the productive arrangement driven by the desire to make fashion, and the action of the designers and institutions that promote this desire and transform fashion into "our thing". The development of fashion in Pará as a spontaneous movement and form of expressing local culture in a way represents the desire to insert local culture in the contemporary consumption context. Fashion is a mean to establish a relationship with the place that considers action in the construction of a local mythology. The issue of the places specificity is of most importance for the markets, therefore, it is necessary to take into account the importance and potential of a market filled with a large number of consumers avid for insertion and differentiation, emotionally tied to the place. Surveyed players point out that to stimulate the development of the textile-clothing production chain, more investment would be necessary in training labor that favors the development of activities already in operation, and that permit the expansion of investment feasibility in a sector of fundamental importance in the history of industrialization and the every day life of human beings in the contemporary capitalist world that has consumption as a fundamental myth. This study contributes towards a better understanding of the sector.
