Abstract
The paper discusses value dimensions of the linguocultural regulative concept SUSTAINABLE FASHION. The research objective of the paper is to explore the cognitive basis of the evaluative aspect of the concept under consideration. The study of the value potential of the concept SUSTAINABLE FASHION is viewed from the theoretical perspective of axiological linguistics. Of particular concern in the study is the linguoaxiological analysis of the evaluative language units verbalizing aesthetic value, environmental and ethical value, social value, hedonistic value of the concept SUSTAINABLE FASHION in English media discourse. The results obtained suggest that these value dimensions ensure a more responsible approach to fashion, shaping ethical and conscious consumption behavior.
