Form part of a healthy alternative to conventional fashion” 

It takes about 7,500 liters of water to produce a pair of worn-looking jeans. This use of the planet's resources has caused the industry to become aware of the impact they have on the environment. Therefore, a new way of understanding the textile business has been created: Sustainable Fashion. 

In light of the above, this Postgraduate certificate will provide students with the opportunity to learn about the new business model currently in use. This way, they will understand the different methodologies applied to design, understanding all its phases to create a successful project. In addition, they will learn about preventive and appropriate measures to reduce the impact on the environment. In addition, the philosophy used by the great designers of this movement, such as Stella McCartney, who invites reflection in each garment she makes, will be taken into account. 

At the end of this program, students will not only have a theoretical knowledge of the different fabrics and new production models, but will also be able to take on the challenge of creating a completely sustainable collection that guarantees the survival of the garments throughout the seasons.
