Abstract
The apparel industry is known to be an exploratory industry, both regarding working quality of the factory workers but also regarding the environment. There is a need for a change and a different behavior for the well-being of workers and sustainability of the environment. Even though persuasive design provides tools for a change, campaigns and organizations disseminate information for awareness, and designers are investing in eco and fair elements for design, the consumer still purchases unethically and irresponsibly. This thesis provides a deeper study on the individuals', groups', and society needs which are supplied by fashion. A deeper understanding of these elements together with Millers' 3 elements of persuasion, can provide a successful attempt to create, sustain and change behavior of fashion consumerism.
