Considering the increase in the prevalence ofthe discourses and courses about sustainability in the institutions that teach Fashion Design, we aim to investigate how the field understands the sustainability notion. For such, as a meansto learn the social totality, we apply Bourdieu s Field theory and theory of the economy of symbolic goods and Marx s social theory, which we have accessed mainly through Marxist researchers. This study found that the discourse and practice of sustainable fashion design tend to reproduce the ideology of corporate sustainability. That camouflages class interests, relying on the reasonableness of environmental defense, while employing a supraclassist rhetoric.
