Abstract

The fashion industry plays a pivotal role in societal evolution and economic growth, yet it also stands as a significant contributor to environmental degradation. In response, the concept of slow fashion has been gaining increased attention in recent years, offering sustainable and circular alternatives to fast fashion. Luxury fashion, traditionally known for its heritage, exclusivity, and craftsmanship, exhibits elements similar to slow fashion, thereby exerting considerable influence on industry trends and consumer behaviour. This study explores the drivers shaping the luxury fashion landscape and the evolving circular economy and sustainability trends within the UK, a key global influencer in the luxury fashion domain. Luxury fashion's impact extends beyond its niche market, often setting benchmarks for innovation and sustainable practices that influence the broader fashion industry. Leveraging readily available qualitative and quantitative data from LinkedIn profiles, this research employs Latent Dirichlet Allocation analysis to uncover relevant topics within a dataset comprising 1115 companies registered in the “Apparel and Fashion” and “Textiles” industries. Five key drivers emerge, including Artful Creations in Fashion, Time-Honoured Craftsmanship, The Art of Style and Design, The Pinnacle of Retail Excellence, and A Personalised Style Experience. Additionally, utilising the Google Collab Platform and Python language, this study identifies circular economy and sustainability trends within luxury fashion. While approximately 20% of the companies studied actively emphasise sustainability, circular economy requires comparable attention. This research provides industry stakeholders and scholars with valuable insights into sustainable and circular practices, thus guiding innovation and informed decision-making in the fashion industry.

洞察奢侈时尚的可持续性和循环经济趋势:LinkedIn 主题建模研究
时尚产业在社会演变和经济增长中发挥着举足轻重的作用,但同时也是造成环境退化的重要因素。为此,近年来 "慢时尚 "的概念受到越来越多的关注,它为快速时尚提供了可持续发展和循环利用的替代品。传统上以传承、独特性和手工艺著称的奢侈时尚,表现出与慢时尚类似的元素,从而对行业趋势和消费者行为产生了相当大的影响。英国是全球奢侈时尚领域的重要影响者,本研究探讨了塑造奢侈时尚格局的驱动因素,以及英国不断发展的循环经济和可持续发展的趋势。奢侈时尚的影响超越了其利基市场,往往为创新和可持续实践设定基准,从而影响更广泛的时尚产业。本研究利用 LinkedIn 资料中现成的定性和定量数据,采用 Latent Dirichlet Allocation 分析方法,从 "服装与时尚 "和 "纺织品 "行业 1115 家注册公司的数据集中发掘相关主题。由此产生了五个关键驱动因素,包括时尚中的艺术创造、历久弥新的工艺、风格与设计的艺术、卓越零售的顶峰以及个性化的风格体验。此外,本研究还利用谷歌协作平台和 Python 语言,确定了奢侈时尚领域的循环经济和可持续发展趋势。在所研究的公司中,约有 20% 积极强调可持续发展,而循环经济则需要同等的关注。这项研究为行业利益相关者和学者提供了有关可持续发展和循环实践的宝贵见解,从而为时尚行业的创新和明智决策提供指导。
