Estudio de factibilidad para la creación de una empresa de ropa eco sostenible para bailarines

Abstract

Throughout history, the development of textiles has been intimately linked to the cultural, economic, and technological changes of humanity. From the first handwoven fabrics made with natural fibers to modern automated production, clothing has been more than just a functional object: it has expressed identities, hierarchies, and ways of life. However, the relationship between fashion and sustainability was radically fractured with the arrival of the Industrial Revolution. During the 18th century, the rise of textile mechanization transformed the artisanal craft into a mass production industry. As Ana Velasco Molpeceres states, “the industrialization of fashion represented a break with natural cycles and the artisanal logic that had prevailed for centuries” (Velasco Molpeceres, 2021, p. 45). This transformation gave rise to accelerated consumption practices that still shape the logic of fast fashion today, with significant environmental and social consequences. Sass Brown, in her book Eco Fashion: Fashion with a Conscience, points out that “the problema is not fashion itself, but the linear production system that sustains it, where extraction, manufacturing, use, and disposal occur rapidly and unsustainably” (Brown, 2010, p. 18). This model has made the fashion industry one of the most polluting on the planet, responsible for a significant carbon footprint, excessive use of water resources, and accumulation of non-biodegradable textile waste
