Abstract: Abstract This study demonstrates that the fashion industry’s future is influenced by two fundamental pillars: technological innovation and sustainable development. However, it underscores the necessity for legal regulations that promote and safeguard innovation in a sustainable fashion, as the current legal framework lacks a clear structure for implementing innovative solutions. The authors argue that technology-supported sustainability can add extra value to manufactured products, thereby enhancing ethical brand equity. Additionally, it delves into the significance of Sustainable Development Goals and Corporate Social Responsibility in the business practices of the textile, clothing, leather, and footwear sector. In summary, it emphasizes the importance of integrating sustainability and technological innovation into the fashion industry, while also advocating for increased legal support for innovative sustainable fashion.
