Abstract
The clothing sector has great relevance in Brazil, which is one of the few countries in the world with a full textile chain within its territory, leading to a substantial operation of input for production, employment, and income. However, this structure needs to be redesigned since its predominant form disregards economic, social, and environmental aspects with balance and fairness. Therefore, the research herein aims to define which vectors could contribute to the process of change, from an unsustainable design, production, and consumption model to a more sustainable one and, as a consequence, provide more concrete expectations about the future. The vectors were the fashion designers and retailers, companies, and actors with competencies in education, which can join forces to use their tremendous potential to work in favor of a change.
