“…In contemporary times, it is becoming more common for such high-end items to be sold on (see Chapter 4 on circulations), and some brides also choose to rent rather than own (Kwon, 2017), but many of these items will reside in transitional zones around the home for some time. Unusually, whilst these items may be described as somewhat divested -in that they are rested in cupboards, attics and other infrequently accessed spaces within the homethey are certainly not devalued.…”

The Materiality of Nothing explores the invisible, intangible and transient materials and objects of everyday life and the relationships we have with them. Drawing on over 15 years of original, empirical research, it builds on growing research on the everyday, and unites the established field of material culture and materiality with emerging sociological studies exploring notions of nothing and the unmarked. The chapters cover topics such as lost prop erty, museum curation, plastic microfibres, thrift, music and even hair, illumi nating how invisible and intangible materials conjure memories, meanings and identities, inextricably binding us to other people, places and things. In turn, the book also engages with issues of sustainability and consumption, raising questions regarding society's increasing need for material accumula tion and posing some alternatives.

With the aim to guide sustainability strategies of fashion companies, this study explores consumers' interest in sustainable alternatives on special occasions, which have been largely neglected by the literature. Drawing on 35 semistructured interviews and using weddings as the consumption setting, this study first identifies the meanings that are associated with special occasions and defines the role of fashion products in achieving such meanings (uniqueness, achievement of personal goals, emotionality and memory). Second, it reveals how sustainability facilitates or limits the achievement of such goals through fashion products. Finally, it shows how different sustainability strategies affect consumers' inferences and preferences differently. This research offers fashion companies actionable strategies for promotion of sustainable fashion products for special occasions. Specifically, we recommend that marketers consider the associations elicited by different sustainability strategies implementation in the development of their communication and extend the use of and, consequently, the meanings associated with exceptional fashion products.
