Sustainable Fashion

This course will provide students with an understanding of “Sustainable Fashion” and the human and planetary impact of the fashion industry. Students will learn about the dirty side of the fashion industry (health, economic, labor, and environment) and how some companies, organizations, people, and policy initiatives are addressing these problems. We will examine trends in the sustainable fashion industry and the ways in which such labels and items are communicated to consumers. We focus on value creation and the ways in which digital communication can be used to effectively sell sustainable fashion.

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

• Understand the impact of the fashion industry beyond “fashion”
• Define sustainable fashion
• Describe key factors in communicating and creating value in sustainable fashion
• Advise others on how to be more sustainable, when it comes to fashion

• Sustainable Development
• Good health and well-being
• Gender equality
• Clean water and sanitation
• Decent work and economic growth
• Industry, innovation and infrastructure
• Responsible consumption and production
• Climate action
