Abstract

The search for fashion strategies associated with the circular economy has become a priority in the face of today's environmental challenges. In this sense, this study seeks to establish a relationship between sustainable strategies implemented in fashion companies and the phases of the product life cycle, enabling the application of upcycling techniques. To this end, an exploratory, qualitative approach was used, in which a bibliographical research was carried out together with a graphical representation of synthesis. As a result, it was observed that the fashion companies researched use sustainable strategies, which can motivate and inspire designers and entrepreneurs towards sustainability.
