This research aims to approach the fashion world from the perspective of the Complexity Theory, proposed by Edgar Morin. The objective is to inform on the complexity of fashion and, therefore, we conduct a bibliographic review on the Complexity Theory as theoretical and methodological framing. Finally, three principles of the Complexity Theory are used in order to analyze the dynamics of the fashion industry.
