국내 지속가능패션 연구 동향 분석과 교육적 논의를 위한 시사점 -2015-2025년 학술지 논문을 중심으로-

초록

Sustainable fashion is crucial for addressing climate change, achieving carbon neutrality, and navigating ESG- driven industrial transformation, making a systematic understanding of its academic development absolutely necessary. This study comprehensively analyzes research trends in sustainable fashion in South Korea from 2015 to September 2025 to identify its academic trajectory and future directions. Furthermore, a total of 209 articles were collected from major academic databases, using diverse keywords, including sustainable fashion, eco-friendly fashion, ethical fashion, and ESG fashion. They were classified into six distinct research domains—fashion design, clothing construction, textile materials, fashion marketing, education, and others—and subsequently analyzed by publication year to determine temporal patterns. Early research (2015-2016) emphasized product-level and technical approaches, including upcycling design and eco- friendly materials. Consumer perception and marketing tactics for ethical and sustainable consumption were studied during 2017-2019. During 2020-2021, attention shifted toward social implementation and institutional issues following the COVID-19 pandemic and carbon neutrality initiatives. Since 2022, research has diversified into ESG management, circular economy frameworks, and digital fashion, with marketing-related studies rising significantly in 2024. This study indicates that sustainable fashion research in Korea has evolved from technology-oriented to interdisciplinary, integrating industrial, social, and educational perspectives. It provides a systematic overview of research development and offers critical impli- cations for future research and educational discussion.
