Fashion design for sustainability is a new field of study, based on a set of design principles and practices that balance ecological, economic, cultural and social prosperity. Fashion design skills, capabilities and mindsets are nurtured and developed inside and outside of universities around the world. The direct link between fashion design education and new movements in fashion practice is well recognized. In the context of the climate emergency and increasing social crises, there is now a new movement in fashion education, led by students, tutors, researchers and others, who seek to radically change the fashion curriculum. The Centre for Sustainable Fashion at University of the Arts London was established in 2008 to shape and contribute to this emerging field of study, connecting with a network of researchers and educators from around the world.(1,2)
