Fashion Values: Nature

This course will help you build the knowledge, skills, and connections to reimagine fashion’s practices, understand biodiversity in the context of fashion and create a plan for fashion that protects Earth’s ecosystems. 

Discover fashion practices that can protect, restore, and regenerate ecosystems. Nature is the life force that provides us with the air, water, soil, and minerals that sustain life on earth. These elements come together in the clothes we wear. 

This course is designed to empower anyone with the tools to address the challenges facing fashion sustainability today. Throughout this course, you’ll reflect on fashion’s relationship with nature and how this relates to fashion sustainability.

You’ll join a community of fashion and sustainability thinkers and doers that have the vision, skills, and commitment to radically transform how we live and work through fashion.

Fashion Values: Society

Examine the relationship between fashion and society, using activism to challenge social injustice.  You’ll explore how fashion can paradoxically be a force for societal good, creating agency, collaboration, dignity and distinction between people, or a cause and perpetuator of injustice.

You’ll understand how activism can be used to challenge social injustice and be inspired by intersectional perspectives, and historical and contemporary case studies and resources.

You’ll explore the process of change in relation to fashion and society, exploring various models that provide ways of thinking, feeling or working towards change. You’ll learn about where power lies to create change and to challenge social injustice in fashion. You’ll examine many approaches to and models of activism, as well as the importance of resilience.

By the end of the course, you’ll be empowered to use design thinking to develop fashion activities and behaviours in response to the question: ‘How will we use fashion activism to challenge social injustice?’

Fashion Values: Economy

Explore the global fashion economy and sustainability, creating a plan for fashion that nurtures wellbeing for people and nature.

Fashion is an integral part of the global economy, yet we know that dominant economic practices in fashion are contributing to the exploitation and degradation of people and nature, perpetuating inequality and contributing to the climate emergency.

In this course, you will explore fashion and economy from a design perspective. You will look at fashion in relation to concepts of value, use, access, exchange, regulation, work, and making. You will learn from alternative economic models and fashion practices that value more than financial gain.

You will respond to a design thinking challenge, developing a fashion economic practice that nurtures wellbeing for people and nature. You will be guided through the steps to empathise with people and nature, and will ideate, prototype, and communicate your own concept for fashion that nurtures wellbeing for all.

Fashion Values: Cultures

Use storytelling to contribute to equitable, inclusive and diverse cultures in and through fashion. Learn how to find and tell stories of the ingenuity and creativity of fashion in its many cultural forms.

You will hear from a range of global experts and be introduced to an exploration of style-fashion-dress – a system of concepts in the study of fashion first coined by writer and curator Carol Tulloch.

You will look at cultural practices that nurture a pluralistic perspective, where fashion has many roles and meanings in everyday lives. Style-fashion-dress will help you to think about fashion’s relationship with sustainability and the potential for storytelling to celebrate fashion’s diversity and think beyond dominant unsustainable, consumption-led fashion models.

You will use elements of design thinking to craft world-relevant skills to understand the big challenges facing the fashion system in a cultural context.
