MA Fashion & the Environment
By twinning fashion and the environment, London College of Fashion aims to take postgraduate students on unique interdisciplinary journeys. The MA Fashion & the Environment introduces the concepts of sustainability and sustainable fashion design and development at a postgraduate level. The design process is explored, along with the fashion lifecycle and major environmental, cultural and social impacts associated with fashion. Through the course, students are encouraged to engage with innovative and radical ways to approach sustainable fashion solutions employing different perspectives on sustainability and different fashion business models.
The course challenges current practice through design intervention to change the landscape of the fashion industry, pushing boundaries in the way that fashion is identified through an innovative and proactive approach to the issues of sustainable creative development. The course is directed towards the current and future needs of the fashion industry as it undergoes significant changes in practice enabled by opportunity and necessity. It educates fashion industry professionals who will be capable of interpreting the ecological, social and cultural considerations of their discipline within the context of the complexities of the fashion industry, and realised through both practical and theoretical concepts.
