Sustainable Fashion sets out to challenge current thinking in fashion by embedding holistic sustainable design and business solutions throughout. The coursework requires critical thinking and problem solving and is designed to create systemic change to help combat fashion's unsustainable footprint.
Projects develop and deepen students' understanding of sustainability as it relates to the fashion, textile and related industries. The course gives participants the opportunity to develop solutions and plot a new future for themselves and the fashion industry through developing new systems that challenge existing practices.
Students will choose their individual areas of focus, ensuring their outputs have real-world applications contributing to society, culture and ecology. Students will study the human and environmental impacts of the mainstream fashion system throughout the entirety of the value chain. The programme will offer sustainable methodologies for the development of fashion businesses, services and practices. It will provide students with the knowledge and skills required to effect positive change through creative problem solving, and equip them with the management, business and creative decision-making skills to develop their own career path.
