So what exactly is eco-fashion?
In a world of fast fashion can we go slow?
Can fashion have a positive impact?
Do you want to know about the things you're buying and how they're produced?

If you are curious about ethical fashion this class will bring into focus sustainability and responsibility into the design process. Learn about the impact of textiles on the environment, responsible sourcing and manufacturing, zero waste practices, certification options and the supply chain. There will also be an introduction to fair trade, natural dyeing, working with artisans and rescuing endangered crafts.
