Fashion confronting unrelated sectors:

the ideal model of manufacturing symbiosis between industrial systems

Resumo

This study aims to reflect on a possible symbiosis between the

fashion system and unrelated companies focused on reducing

textile waste. Recent developments in the fashion system, in

terms of the organizational network, highlight the importance

of collaboration, or vice versa of competition enhancement

mechanisms. The highly innovative and creative skills and

tasks concentrate much of the value in the creation phase,

characteristic of emerging sectors such as creative ones. The

methodology will be carried out through a review of the

reference literature, with a critical, constructive, and real

analysis on strategies for the construction of this symbiosis.

It is expected to contribute to a reflection on the development

of collaboration and cooperation skills in an interdisciplinary,

or even transdisciplinary approach, for the training and

preparation of fashion design professionals, requiring a

greater commitment from Academia in the creation of

interactions and interrelationships with still very different

disciplinary sectors.
