Abstract Fast fashion has been widely criticised for its excessive resource use and high generation of textile. To reduce its environmental impacts, numerous efforts have focused on finding sustainable and eco-friendly approaches to textile recycling. However, waste textiles and fibres are still mainly disposed of in landfills or by incineration and thereby pollute the natural environment, as there is still no effective strategy to separate natural fibres from chemical fibres. Herein, we developed a green chemistry strategy for the separation and regeneration of waste textiles at the molecular level. Cellulose/wool keratin composite fibres and multicomponent fibres were regenerated from waste textiles via ionic liquids. Our strategy attempts to reduce the large amount of waste textiles generated by the fast-developing fashion industry and provide a new source of fibres, which can also address the fossil fuel reserve shortages caused by chemical fibre industries and global food shortages caused by natural fibre production.

The article is devoted to the analysis of modern trends in the development of brand collaboration in the fashion industry. Currently, the fashion industry is not going through the best of times because of the inability to create something revolutionary fashion. It seems that everything has already been invented, so famous brands are desperately looking for novelty. The production of products in South-East Asia reduces the cost of goods in the fashion industry, leads to the "democratization of luxury" and to the rapid obsolescence of things in the wardrobe [1; 19]. Luxury brands are losing touch with the consumer. Changing market conditions and the democratization of consumption lead to the need to look for new approaches to ensure the competitiveness of brands. When developing branding, companies primarily investigate real and hidden needs, stereotypes, and psychological attitudes. Currently, the opposition to "fast fashion" is customizing, i.e. redrawing old things that were in use. In addition, the "sustainable fashion" movement is expanding its influence, which opposes mindless consumption with a rational wardrobe and a careful attitude to the environment, as well as the production of durable clothing from renewable raw materialsA drop in the population's effective demand and a decrease in consumer brand commitment makes the situation worse. The fall in real incomes of the population in Russia is the transition from shopping middle segment the mass market and of mass in the segment and discounted used things. When developing branding, companies primarily investigate real and hidden needs, stereotypes, and psychological attitudes. Young people have always been indicators of fashion trends, and youth subcultures have always been a source of inspiration for designers. Currently, these are young people who do not part with gadgets, who possess IT technologies, active bloggers, who are always open to active use of any innovations, including in the field of fashion industry. Along with the close cooperation of famous brands with the sphere of art, quoting the works of famous artists, active involvement of famous personalities in the promotion of their fashion product, brands actively cooperate with each other. The most perspective direction for the development of co-branded technologies in the fashion industry is the FashionTech that connects the fashion industry and technology

Different Levels

The constructed gender roles and stereotypes of women position them to be uniquely impacted by the fast fashion industry because of the feminization of the fashion industry as a whole. They are disproportionately employed in the sweatshops of the garment industry, and also are mainly targeted as the consumers of fast fashion. However, because of the different levels of privilege that consumers and garment workers hold, although they are both affected by the fast fashion industry more so than their male counterparts, gender plays two different roles in these two different situations. Ultimately, many modern fast fashion critiques take a neoliberal stance in putting the responsibility on these young fast fashion consuming women to stop the fast fashion industry. However, alternate literature suggests that other actors have immense responsibility that is often overlooked. Thus, although these relatively privileged young women do have some responsibility in the horrors of the fast fashion industry, the feminization of responsibility for the practices of the industry are unfair. When a highly feminized industry like the fast fashion one becomes problematic, the responsibility for positive change is also placed upon females. The switch to ethical and sustainable fashion as the primary, and only, type of clothing to purchase is imperative. However, this switch should not only be the consumers’ burden, but rather that of the fashion industry as a whole.

Fashion industry has become globalized, with the emergence of so called fast fashion (fast overproduction and fast consumption). This ongoing fast fashion trend has profound negative impact on the environment (water and land pollution, lack of recycling, etc.). The other serious issue connected to the fashion industry are labour conditions (forced and child labour). However, the new trends are emerging such are sustainable fashion, slow fashion, eco fashion, and ethical fashion that are trying to start solving those problems. In this paper faculty, administration, and students' perception on eco fashion is surveyed on the example of the School of Engineering Management, Belgrade, Serbia. The statistical ANOVA analysis has been implemented by using software SPSS18 package to explore the perceptions of various higher education stakeholders of eco fashion. The results show that there is no statistically significant difference in the perceptions of different groups of eco fashion. The final part of the paper presents opinions on the most important elements of eco fashion for the consumers' purchasing decisions collected through the interviews.

Fast fashion is becoming more and more popular nowadays and this industry is growing rapidly. In order to supply to the big demand of fast fashion clothing, company will need to increase the production of the clothing in shorter time frame. Besides that, to out beat the competitor, company will provide more choices of clothing in cheaper price to the customers. By practicing these actions to increase the business profits, company is behaving unethical to the manufacturer of the cloth. Most consumers are not aware of these ethical issues. This paper is will used and tested the conceptual model of fast fashion business ethics based on literature reviews. The finding from this paper will manifest the “real cost” of a cheap and branded fast fashion clothing and will be supported by real life event that happened. However, after realizing the problems, some company did make some changes and the solutions are stated in the paper as well.

Global Food

Moderate or severe food insecurity affect 2 billion people worldwide. The four pillars of food security (availability, access, use and stability) are in danger due to the impact of climatic and anthropogenic factors which impact on the food system. Novel foods, like seaweeds, have the potential to increase food yields so that to contribute in preventing or avoiding future global food shortages. The purpose of this systematic review was to assess microbiological, chemical, physical, and allergenic risks associated with seaweed consumption. Four research strings have been used to search for these risks. Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were applied. Finally, 39 articles met the selected criteria. No significant hazards for microbiological, allergenic, and physical risks were detected. Regarding chemical risk, algae can accumulate various heavy metals, especially when harvested in polluted sites. Cultivating seaweeds in a controlled environment allows to avoid this risk. Periodic checks will be necessary on the finished products to monitor heavy metals levels. Since the consumption of algae seems to be on the rise everywhere, it seems to be urgent that food control authorities establish the safety levels to which eating algae does not represent any risk for human health.

The goal of this research is to analyze Fashion Revolution Indonesia marketing communication implementation towards audience concern about eco-fashion.
