Over the past few decades, we have seen the rapid rise of sustainable fashion as a response to the environmental concerns associated with fast fashion, and the awareness of sustainable fashion has mainly taken place on social media and represented a new shopping trend. The aim of my assignment was to present the influence that social networks have on shaping new trends, including sustainable fashion, and above all, how the TikTok social network affects the representation of sustainable fashion among the younger generation of users. With the help of semiological analysis and discourse analysis, I researched what role the social network TikTok plays in the representation of sustainable fashion among young people and what promotes the popularity of sustainable fashion among digital consumers. For analysis, I chose three creators on the TikTok network from the field of sustainable fashion and studied their most popular videos. The main conclusion of my thesis is that the TikTok social network has a positive effect on the representation of sustainable fashion among Generation Z, as sustainable fashion is a trend that enables them to express themselves and establish economic status and personal identity.
