Key Facts

With the aim to promote responsible and sustainable fashion, this course explores project design skills involved in the creation of fashion collections, based on a critical approach to the concepts of design, production, distribution, communication and disposal methods. Special attention will also be given to understanding such factors as circularity, ecodesign, product longevity, with inclusion and innovation being a key part of all projects. Building on the study of the new EU regulations around the circular textile strategy, this course provides an interdisciplinary approach to develop sustainable projects that can address such regulations by creating zero-waste models and experimenting with new materials. All this will contribute to the transformation of the fashion industry towards new project practices based on full awareness of ethical and social implications.

Career roles that can be pursued with the degree programme in Responsible Fashion Design. Circular Practices for the Fashion System will have the opportunity to contribute to sustainable fashion development for a variety of companies in the fashion industry - but also to get involved in developing their own brands - taking on such roles as eco textile experts and consultants, CSR* consultants (*Corporate Social Responsibility), heads of innovation, and sustainability managers. Continuing in Ph.D. trajectories at Italian and foreign universities will also be an option.
