Retrospectives of the evolution of the fashion industry in the Republic of Moldova

Abstract

The paper presents the results of the study on the evolution of fashion in the Republic of Moldova from 2010 to 2025. The stages of evolution were analyzed and presented, as well as the main support programs that contributed to the relaunch of the fashion industry in the Republic of Moldova, as well as the combined contribution of several institutions that ensured effective results in this regard. The study conducted allowed for the clear distinction of several stages in the modern evolution of the fashion industry in the Republic of Moldova: the pre-independence stage, the period of the economic crisis, the manufacturing stage, the stage of the revival of the fashion industry, the stage of the internationalization of local fashion, the stage of digital fashion. The study was carried out within the national project, 020408 Research on Ensuring Sustainable Development and Increasing Competitiveness of the Republic of Moldova in a European Context.
