Learning outcomes
Sustainable fashion is one of the intensively developing industries in fashion as such. The concept of environmental friendly fashion is based on ethical principles and social conditions - fast fashion versus slow fashion. The new methodology of the production process includes a much wider spectrum of processes and procedures that are completely different from custom or industrial production ? recycling, upcycling, zero cut, zero waste, circular design .... In a broader context, it is also about a new philosophy, an ethics code that is projected into the general attitude to sustainable technologies and procedures across the designer spectrum. Nowadays, students strongly reflect the need for change and this subject in the second year will allow them to have an overview of the matter, and to establish a creative space for future competitiveness and fulfillment of society-wide challenges. With the help of new software and digital modelling and design procedures, the goal is to invent ? create a sustainable design both in theoretical and mainly practical levels. The two-semester concept of the four subjects Clothing as a Sustainable Value and Lifestyle for the second year of the Bachelor?s studies is ended with a final work after each semester. (The theoretical and practical skills acquired during the semester will thus be utilized in the students? own author realization to be presented to both general and professional public during the official exhibition of winter- or summer-semester final works.) This study programme of study is followed by the Design Master's programme of study.
The acquired competencies represent the mastery and acquisition of knowledge in the given field, based on a specific annotation of the subject and are aimed at fulfilling the profile of a graduate of the given field.
