Fashion Values: Nature

A sustainability lens on fashion

This short course looks at fashion through the natural world, asking how biodiversity connects to the way clothes are designed and made. It is offered through the Centre for Sustainable Fashion at University of the Arts London, which gives it a grounded, research-led tone.

Skills you can expect to build

• Systems thinking, to see how materials, production and consumption connect
• Ideation and prototyping, for turning a sustainability problem into a concept
• Design thinking applied to the question of sustainable systems in fashion

The course suits designers, students and anyone working in sustainability who wants to see the subject through an environmental lens rather than a purely commercial one. It is aimed at beginners, so no prior fashion background is assumed. Because it covers a single focused topic, it works well as a companion to a broader fashion-design course.
