At times when sustainability seems to be the mantra for not only corporations but also the lay man, sustainable fashion is a much less understood term as "sustainability" alongside "fashion” are two seemingly contradictory concepts as fashion is all about change and sustainability is all about preservation.

Furthermore Nike has begun to implement sustainability metrics into their material choice and product design. This helps to ensure that there is greater transparency to the trade-off’s that designers are making between functional performance and environmental impact.

The fashion industry is rapidly growing and constantly generating new fashion trends almost weekly. Fashion for some may seem ridiculous and unnecessary; but fashion is not just a meaningless usage of article of clothing or farcical materials sew together for coverage.

Bridging the difference between the old views and the current modern view one method is that we can seamlessly integrate into a global system through communication, technology and philosophy. In order to retain much of our culture that seems to be lost in our fast paced society, one has to presenting a firm and strong foundation in our cultural and historical design knowledge, studying population trends, making use of production and decor trends and their relation to the global market.
