About the course

The course facilitates a successful entrance into leadership positions and entrepreneurship within the international fashion industry. Taking part in workshops, colloquiums and excursions as well as a practical exchange abroad provides students with a deeper understanding of the industry.

The hands-on approach encourages students to explore aspects of sustainability in developing design strategies and methods for the future, as well as providing access to innovative materials, technologies and production techniques. The creative development of the students is stimulated by the extensive yet focused approach to innovation. Sustainability in Fashion enables students to take existing restrictions as a chance to develop new, courageous and progressive fashion concepts.  

Sustainability in fashion means creating a new awareness in the fashion business, and a lasting influence in style.
