Kering launches online course in sustainable luxury fashion

28/02/2018
Luxury leathergoods group Kering has teamed up the London College of Fashion (LCF) to launch an open-access digital course in luxury fashion and sustainability. 

The course, which is called ‘Fashion & Sustainability: Understanding Luxury Fashion in a Changing World’, is designed to strengthen knowledge about sustainability in the luxury and fashion industries. The partners hope this will promote the wider adoption of sustainable practices. 

The curriculum has been co-developed by LCF academics and Kering sustainability experts. It is built on six key modules, including: Why Sustainability Matters in Fashion; Contextualising Sustainability for a Changing World; Sustainable Sourcing for Luxury Fashion; and Informed Decision-Making.

It will involve a mix of films, podcasts, activities and discussions and aims to cover both the theoretical aspects of sustainability and the real-life challenges that luxury brands face when integrating sustainability. 

Students will receive a total of 18 teaching hours over a six-week period. The first class will begin on April 9. Registration can be completed here.
