Abstract
The successful study of a foreign language in the LSP aspect (language for specific purposes”) implies the acquisition of relevant terminology generally accepted in the professional language. Fashion in its various manifestations is a multifaceted phenomenon of the modern globalized world. The students studying Fashion Design and Technology should be able to track and analyze significant changes in the complex world of their future profession. Several new concepts and trends have arisen within the global industry over the last thirty years (sustainable fashion, fashion, etc.). The authors are interested in the linguistic side of these social phenomena which are relatively new and not well-known to everyone. As the world of and its conceptual sphere are extremely changeable, they constantly generate new ideas and realities. This process is naturally reflected at the lexical level: new language units are emerging to denote the new. Within a comparatively short period of their existence, the new phenomena acquired their glossary and terminology which reflect certain processes, making up the whole phenomenon of conscious/sustainable in general. The new terminology cannot be considered as well-established yet, as evidenced by the expressed reflection of both English and Russian speakers upon their word usage. The article deals with the main terms of the conscious fashion thematic group as one of the layers of the English lexis necessary for the Fashion Design and Technology students.

Successful study of a foreign language in the LSP aspect (“language for special purposes”, a foreign language in the field of professional communication) requires the acquisition of terminology generally accepted in the professional language context
We find it necessary for the students to know the essence of linguistic reflection on terminology and the very existence of such a reflection so that future fashion industry practitioners would be able to fully communicate with colleagues and be aware of the existence of discrepancies
Summary
For the students of Fashion Design and Technology, it is extremely important to keep abreast of everything that is happening in the world of modern fashion. The professional level of future designers and technologists is determined by many objective and subjective factors. Those who want to succeed in the chosen field should have inborn taste, a sense of shape and texture, good eye for color, design and technological skills, an understanding of the utilitarian and aesthetic properties of clothing, awareness of its great role as a social universal. Terminology provides a link between theoretical professional knowledge and practical professional activity. Both English fashion design and apparel industry terminology as a whole, and the stock of commonly used lexical units providing understanding between communicants in this field, have developed over the centuries. The world of fashion, the conceptual sphere of fashion itself is changeable by its nature, and constantly generates new ideas and realities, which naturally find their reflection at the language lexical level
