Abstract

This research explores the practices of influencers specializing in sustainable fashion on Instagram by drawing on practice theory. Through a netnographic analysis of 220 posts from 13 French-speaking accounts and five semi-structured interviews, the study highlights two central practices: clothing staging (showcasing ethical and sustainable outfits) and advice prescription (second-hand shopping, garment care, sorting, raising awareness of environmental and social impacts). These practices rely on an assemblage of materialities (clothing, brands, digital platforms), skills (technical, pedagogical, and creative knowledge), and meanings (ethical values, simplicity, transparency). The analysis reveals a tension between promoting responsible consumption and Instagram's inherent renewal dynamics, which may stimulate the desire to consume.
