**3. Conclusions**

The global fashion industry faces a number of challenges in terms of sustainability and social responsibility. In particular, the fast fashion model generates a significant carbon footprint and raises a number of social and environmental concerns. Given that the law currently provides only limited protection of rights in the fashion industry and is often ineffective in improving corporate behavior, corporate social responsibility and sustainability initiatives may help to combat inequality in the fashion industry as well as improve standards and conduct. Therefore, legal reforms and increased support for companies that pursue more sustainable practices are necessary to reorient the fashion industry and consumers away from the fast fashion model toward more sustainable sourcing, production, distribution, marketing, and consumption practices. Companies that adopt such slow fashion practices should provide a template for the future of the global fashion industry.
