DESCRIPTION
The objective of this course is to investigate the many social and environmental issues of today's fast-paced, global fashion industry and to explore ways in which we can slow it down, reduce its negative impacts and provide urgent solutions to make it sustainable. The course takes a hands on approach, encouraging students to explore aspects of sustainability in developing strategies and methods for the future through analyzing today's business model, questioning stores directly, watching videos of change and critical thinking. We can drive positive change across the global fashion industry, as a customer and a citizen, starting with our everyday choices or from working within the fashion industry itself and driving these much needed changes to fruition.
