Vegan fashion is among the most prominent topics in addition to sustainability and digitalization in the textile and fashion industry. Increasing awareness for a sustainable world within the scope of combating the climate crisis caused by human activities pushes people to question their consumption habits and life practices. This brings along a holistic approach toward ecocentrism, which moves away from an anthropocentric perspective and considers the entire ecosystem as an interconnected whole.

The number of ethical vegans is increasing day by day accordingly, defending the right and freedom of animals to live beyond a diet and reflecting this worldview in all their choices in life. Considering that livestock is one of the sectors that have the biggest share in the global climate crisis, a new concept created by consumers and manufacturers in the clothing sector, as well as in food and cosmetics, emerges; vegan fashion.

What is vegan fashion?

Vegan fashion refers to clothing that does not contain any animal-based fibres such as leather, wool, fur and silk, and that also does not use animal-based materials at any stage of the production process. Vegan fashion products are preferred not only because of animal rights and freedom but also because they are ‘sustainable’ options due to the high environmental impact of the livestock industry. However, this does not mean that vegan fashion is sustainable fashion. While vegan fashion is 100% cruelty-free, sustainable fashion mainly aims to reduce the environmental impact of clothing products and therefore may contain materials derived from animals.
