About
Both fashion design and garment production are powerful parts of the contemporary industry. Highly industrialized, intensified, and organized all over the world, they combine all features of present-day design life and work. The clothing industry has a huge impact on our environment, culture, people, and also non-human beings. Since it is related to the above-mentioned issues on a large scale, we feel obliged to implement ethical and ecological goals at our studies as the fashion design education main core.
