Authenticity presents itself as the warp that interweaves the fashion system and other sectors of society. This dynamic finds in contemporary society the "era of lightness", a system of inconsistency, change, personalization, and seduction that is related to the fashion system. The transition from a production-oriented (industrial) society to a post-industrial society, where knowledge becomes the main factor of production, makes education even more relevant as a means for individuals to occupy their space in society and act on social and environmental issues. In this perspective, the objective of this work is to map the themes that permeate the competencies of Fashion Design professionals through a scope review. This strategy allows for an analysis of evidence on a particular research area, synthesizing the main concepts, theories and knowledge gaps. To support the process, the study makes use of the PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols), double-blind selection of works, and qualitative thematic analysis. This analysis is divided into five themes: employability; entrepreneurship and digital competencies; sustainability; research and development; production processes. The study's conclusion points to an interconnection of these themes in both the educational process and the professional life of the fashion designer, suggesting a trend toward interdisciplinarity or transdisciplinarity. Additionally, the study suggests a personalized education, with the development of curricula or others actions in coproduction between educational institutions and society sectors.
