About the Course

Sometimes when we say we work with sustainable fashion people look at us like... "Mmmm, is it really possible for something like fashion to be sustainable?" And let's face it, people are right being suspicious. If anything the fashion industry has become increasingly unsustainable over the last decades, using more and more natural resources and creating more and more waste. In this course, we provide an overview of business model theory and discuss business models as essential tools in the transformation towards more sustainable businesses. Throughout the course, we will use business model theory as a foundation to look at how real-world fashion brands are adopting more sustainable ways of doing business. We will provide you with a rich opportunity to examine their efforts and consider strategies for your own organisation. Hopefully, you can also enlighten us with some local examples in your own countries for us to discover together new ways of dealing with sustainability. By the end of the course, you have an understanding of the overall challenges and potential solutions for businesses to become more sustainable. You will learn about the challenges and opportunities of implementing circular business models and we will introduce various tools that companies use to measure and report about sustainability. You will be able to think about business model theory in new ways and apply strategies to manage business model innovation towards sustainable practices. This is a very exciting time to be working in the fashion industry, so let's get started!...

I like the information presented in the course. I especially enjoy the review quizzes after each section. However, the peer reviewed assignment leaves something to be desired as I'm not sure that everybody reviews each other's assignments very seriously. Obviously, this is a limitation upon the system, it is quite impossible to hire qualified reviewers to do all the work, but perhaps a quiz in addition to the peer reviewed assignment would be nice. All in all, thank you for the course, it was great.

I really appreciated this course and its content. However, I was disappointed to learn that I could not fully complete the course without paying for the certificate, even though I completed the final cast study. With that being said, I am still very happy that I have followed this course and have learned many new things along the way.

As a marketer having a career in the fashion industry, it was very important for me to understand, gather more information on how brands are working towards sustainability. As sustainability is becoming more and more important every day, this certification helped me to broaden my knowledge on sustainability policies, principles that Fashion Brands utilize.

SUSTAINABLE FASHION course gave me direction to plan my business model and helped me to know the dark side of fast fashion brands. And by knowing about many other sustainable brands during this course gave so much of knowledge about innovation in the sustainable fashion industry. I have recommended this course to many of my friends.

Thank you;)

It teaches about how we can change the consumer mindset and a lot about sustainable business models.

This was a worthwhile study. It is an eyeopener for me and I believe it planted a seed in my heart to start something similar to the examples presented in this course. I really hope and pray that I will have the opportunity to find and build connections whom I can partner with here in the Philippines (well, maybe not now, but in the future).

My main suggestions are:

--to add a glossary section to collect all of the many terms introduced in the course. Ideally the glossary would link to the course page where the term is introduced.

--to add a sources page to each week's lesson.

--to clarify the scope of the capstone, and perhaps spread its development over several weeks.

I love this course,we get an idea what fashion is about,.its not just about what kind of dress you wear, is it the new trend or a top brand of high quality.Its about how long does fashion sustain. Clothes has to be from nature but not harming them. For this the used clothes should get reuse or recycled. â™»

The course was wonderful as I could build the basic knowledge about sustainable future. There are lots of information about sustainable fashion, so it is even harder to get the clear idea. The course explains what is sustainable fashion with the real business examples, so I found it quite practical.

As an Industrial designer student, this course made me realized how we all have the duty to make an actual change by adopting a simple lifestyle. Concern for what we do most be a daily thought not just for the corportations but for the costumers.
