Aim and Scope

The Journal of Sustainable Fashion Business serves as an interdisciplinary platform dedicated to enhancing scholarly and practical understanding of the evolving global fashion industry. The journal endeavours to bridge the gap between academic inquiry and industry practices by disseminating high-calibre, peer-reviewed articles that investigate the various facets of fashion as both a cultural and commercial entity.

Our mission is to promote innovative thinking and evidence-based insights across the principal fields of marketing, design, management, technology implementation, retail, and sales. We invite contributions that scrutinise the evolving nature of fashion business models, consumer behaviour, branding strategies, and the integration of digital technologies within fashion operations. The journal also advocates for research exploring sustainability, ethical practices, and the socio-economic impacts of fashion in global markets.

The Journal of Sustainable Fashion Business disseminate a variety of formats, including exhibition papers, scholarly articles, book reviews, practice-led research, conceptual works, and critical reviews. This comprehensive publication approach signifies the journal’s receptiveness to diverse perspectives, methodologies, and outputs, acknowledging that knowledge creation within sustainable fashion business is complex and non-linear. Ultimately, the journal connects practitioners, artists, and academics to engage with rigorous scholarship and experimental inquiry.
