This paper addresses the lack of research into the use of the blockchain technology to provide trust in fashion supply chain collaboration systems, which in practice leads to an empirical approach and leads to the implementation of ineffective solutions. The aim of the study is to develop an approach to build an information system for the interaction of high fashion supply chain participants based on the Hyperledger blockchain framework to ensure technically explicit trust. In the process of research, the authors have found and developed as follows: 1) Blockchain technologies can be used to provide technically explicit trust in the supply chains of the high-fashion industry through decentralization, data consistency and security, and the use of smart contracts; 2) The approach of applying Hyperledger framework in the context of supply chain processes in the fashion industry is to be justified by criteria such as open architecture, modularity, support for data access management, and the ability to manage smart contracts; 3) A conceptual model of an interaction system for fashion supply chain actors based on the Hyperledger framework has been developed; 4) A blockchain-based approach to building a blockchain-based supply chain collaboration IS for accelerating supply chain processes in the haute couture industry has been proposed.
