Fashion and the Climate Crisis: An Introduction to Sustainability
The Sustainable Angle
This online course was developed by The Sustainable Angle to provide a broad understanding of the fashion and textiles industries impacts. By exploring the historical roots of our extractive ‘take, make, waste’ model and our dependency on toxic material sources, processes and their contribution to climate change, the urgency to tackle these issues is made explicit. The study of models, principles and new practices support and enable critical thinking and underpin the learning journey.
