Sustainable Branding: From Circular Design to Communication

Come and think Fashion in a sustainable way

In a constantly evolving fashion market, sustainability has moved beyond being an abstract concept to become the cornerstone of contemporary and resilient brands. This course offers a practical and strategic journey that brings together ‘doing’ and ‘communicating’.

Throughout the course, trainees will gain an understanding of the concept of the product life cycle and learn to analyse the value chain from a circularity perspective. Through the study of practical design strategies and the analysis of new business models, the course equips students to create solutions that minimise environmental impact from material selection through to product design. 
In addition to the technical and strategic components, the programme also explores responsible communication strategies. trainees will learn to construct
authentic and coherent narratives capable of highlighting sustainable fashion products as a differentiating factor in the contemporary market.
The course thus aims to equip trainees to create authentic narratives that highlight the value of sustainable fashion products, avoiding greenwashing practices and fostering relationships of trust and closeness with an increasingly informed and demanding consumer.
