Whilst the use of the term is becoming more popular, a definition of what a fashion film is remains ambiguous. By tracing the relation between fashion and film, this thesis conceptualizes the upcoming fashion film and interrogates its connection to one of the fashion industry’s current issues and hot topic of sustainability. A case study of three fashion films shows how fashion transcends the sartorial object through the creation of fashioned worlds, in which deeply emotional engagement becomes integral to fashion. This promotes a sense of emotional longevity in fashion, which is a condition for more sustainable consumption. An analysis of fashion film festivals emerging worldwide then shows how this festival format and international network can further enhance and push a mentality of sustainability within fashion.
