Abstract

Several studies on sustainable fashion have been reported. However, there needs to be more literature dealing with the scientometric analysis of sustainable fashion. To understand the current status of sustainable fashion, this study aimed to use bibliometric analysis and historical review to highlight recent research in sustainable fashion, to predict future research hotspots and trends in sustainable fashion, and to summarise and analyse the shortcomings in sustainable fashion. The Web of Science core database was searched for 573 publications on sustainable fashion up to 31 December 2023. VOSviewer and CiteSpace software were used to perform visual analyses.
