Abstract This article proposes a revision to the customary framework of sustainability that is being used by dress scholars, environmental activists and policy makers, so that it includes the putative “non-fashion” clothing traditions of the world. Why, until now, the traditions of the Other have been systematically undervalued and obscured is explained from a decolonial perspective. They constitute a “sacrifice zone” of fashion, the emergence of which is connected to the ethnocentrism embedded in the fashion system and fashion scholarship. This failing is a legacy of the colonial era that has been insufficiently addressed but rather obscured by layers of theory and practice. Only by recognizing and correcting systemic ethnic bias, and thereby eliminating the sacrifice zone of fashion, can the fashion industry achieve sustainability. The article concludes with a call for a radical re-writing of fashion history.

时尚、它的牺牲区和可持续性

摘要 本文提议对服装学者、环保活动家和政策制定者所使用的可持续发展习惯框架进行修订，使其包括世界公认的“非时尚”服装传统。从非殖民主义的角度解释了为什么直到现在，他者的传统被系统地低估和模糊化。它们构成了时尚的“牺牲区”，它的出现与嵌入在时尚体系中的民族中心主义和时尚学术有关。这种失败是殖民时代的遗留问题，没有得到充分解决，而是被理论和实践的层次所掩盖。只有认识到并纠正系统性的种族偏见，从而消除时尚的牺牲区，时尚产业才能实现可持续发展。
