“…The results also supported that social responsibility and environmental sustainability are equally relevant for fast fashion consumers, who are concerned about the potential negative impact of this sector on the planet (operations, residual management, water consumption, etc.) and people (employees' human rights and labor law respect) in the name of only economic profits (Joy et al, 2012; Partridge, 2011).…”

“…Fast fashion retailers have combined their own production facilities with a labor‐intensive operation done by contractors from all around the world, mainly in emerging, developing countries (Sull & Turconi, 2008; Tokatli, 2008). The fast fashion industry has had difficulties in managing the complex supply chain in a sustainable, transparent, and accountable manner (Partridge, 2011). Low‐priced garments invite consumers to buy trendy products instinctively, fulfilling an instant gratification and thus raising the global waste issue (Joy et al, 2012).…”

In the context of the fast fashion industry, this study examined the efficacy of sustainable collections in achieving corporate legitimacy. We examine the ethical branding and organizational legitimacy relationship in the context of the fast fashion industry. We conducted an online experiment with the use of Amazon MTurk in the Unites States. The data were collected from female fast fashion users (N = 389). The data analysis revealed that fast fashion retailers' sustainable collections had a positive impact on corporate legitimacy, CSR perception, brand trust, and purchase intention. This study also uncovered that the company's sustainable collections increased consumers' attributions to altruistic motives and consumers' altruistic attributions had a positive influence on corporate legitimacy, CSR perception, brand trust, and purchase intention. Furthermore, this study found the mediating role of altruistic attributions in explaining the impact of sustainable collections on these four outcome variables. Regarding the sustainable collections' design and production, managerial implications are described as the need to communicate the ethical approach and efforts.

“…Sustainable fashion is investigated through social constructionism, which distinguishes two types of ÔrealityÕ (Shotter 2002 Sustainability is intuitively understood, yet has no coherent definition (Partridge 2011). Sustainability is context dependent and situational and has different meanings for different people.…”

What is sustainable fashion?Abstract Purpose Ð The purpose of this paper is to examine what the term sustainable fashion means from the perspective of micro-organisations, experts, and consumers. Design/methodology/approach Ð This research is qualitative in nature, utilising a multi-methods case study approach (semi-structured interviews, semiotics, questionnaires). Grounded analysis was applied to analyse the data. Findings Ð Findings indicate that interpretation of sustainable fashion is context and person dependent. A matrix of key criteria provides the opportunity to find common elements.Research limitations/implications Ð Due to the nature of this research the sample size is limited and may not be generalised. Data were collected in the UK and are limited to a geographical region. Practical implications Ð An important implication is that defining sustainable fashion is vital in order to avoid challenges, such as greenwashing, which were faced in other industries that have a longer history in sustainable practices. Microorganisations should take advantage of identifying key sustainable fashion criteria, which will enable them to promote their fashion collections more effectively. Social implications Ð The criteria identified provide assurance for consumers that sustainable fashion is produced with social aspects in mind (fair wages, good working conditions). Originality/value Ð The paper proposes a matrix that allows micro-organisations to clearly identify their collections as sustainable.

“…Voluntary justice, in which consumers take pride and comfort in their moral purchases, has little connection to the lives and well-being of the workers themselves (Partridge, 2011). Rather, the people most likely to benefit from fair trade certification would be Maggie's employees, due to the potentially increased revenues based on the appeal of certification to customers.…”

Purpose: To examine the mechanics—social, geographical, and logistical—of producing sustainable fashion apparel as a hybrid company (a company that is part-commercial and part-altruistic; i.e., pursues two goals: profitability and environmental/social sustainability), beholden equally to employees, the worker- owned cooperatives with which the company partners, and environmental and ethical best practices; and to investigate the complex interplay of altruism and entrepreneurship endemic to hybrid organizations.
