Sustainable Fashion: Business and Practices Kingston University London

On our Sustainable Fashion: Business and Practices MA, you'll challenge current thinking in fashion by exploring holistic sustainable design solutions.

The programme is designed to create systemic change. As a result, you're come up with innovative and ethical solutions, as well as have the chance to transform systems and organisations. Projects are designed to develop and deepen your understanding of the multi-dimensionality of sustainability as it relates to fashion.

You'll have the opportunity to plot a new future for yourself and the fashion Industry by displacing a dysfunctional system and replacing it with practical and inspirational alternatives. This is fashion not designed to produce more ‘stuff’ but intended to develop systems and practices which intervene in the mainstream fashion system.

The course capitalises on the studio ethos of learning by doing. You'll produce tangible outcomes and solutions to industry problems through creative problem-solving and crossing disciplines for inspired responses. The work you do will challenge the accepted and traditional methodologies within the fashion system. You'll be encouraged to question every step of the fashion process from inspiration to end-of-life considerations.

Using design thinking, the course will support you in the analysis of industry impacts. You'll be able to test ideas in the development of solution creation. Project work adheres to the four pillars of sustainability: economic, environmental, social and cultural.
