An institutional approach to sustainable fashion education, Fashioning an Ethical Industry
An Institutional Approach to Sustainable Fashion Education by Fashioning an Ethical Industry, a project of Labour Behind the Label, UK, is divided into two sections: The first section is aimed at educational institutions wishing to respond to the key sustainability questions facing the fashion industry in the 21st century by integrating sustainability issues into the teaching of fashion education to enable students to develop skills, knowledge and values they can take forward into industry. The second section relates to the development of a sustainability policy in a more wide reaching sense, beyond the teaching of sustainability issues.
