Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We know that sustainability has become an important topic in every aspect of life. The textile and fashion industries also need to be sustainable; this sustainability might be imparted in their development, production, or even marketing. The textile industry has a huge market, as clothing is arguably the most important human need after food. Recently, this industry has been designated a polluting industry; this might be overcome by the proper development of textile goods and careful marketing strategies. There are specific roles that government, entrepreneurs, and even universities can play in properly educating people to make the textile industry cleaner and greener.
Several journals focus only on one of the aspects of this key problem, i.e., the production of sustainable materials, textile education, or textile marketing. However, this Special Issue is an effort to bring different areas together on one platform. Though we welcome manuscripts that focus strictly on one area, we encourage authors to cover different aspects, i.e., production, policy, education, and marketing related to textiles.
We welcome the submission of research on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Sustainable apparel brand image
- Digital textile marketing
- Sustainable textile production
- Textile marketing education
- Brands participating in sustainable fashion
- Innovative sustainable solutions for the textile industry
- Marketing and manufacturing of fashion and garments of older times
- Venture capital for sustainable textiles
- University as the brand for textiles
- Consumer purchase intention for textile or fashion
- Sustainable textiles in the past
- Sustainable composite materials
- Cradle to cradle for textiles in the marketing context
- Self-congruity and consumers’ purchase intention for fashion brands
- Prosumers for textiles
