Bath Spa University Announces the National Centre for Fashion and Sustainability
We’re so excited to have Bath Spa University and the new National Centre for Fashion and Sustainability as our Flagship Hub partners for this year’s Sustainable Fashion Week programme.
As educational leaders in fashion and sustainability, Bath Spa University is the perfect location to host a Hub, raising the profile of sustainable fashion across all areas of design, production and consumption for students and future professionals.
In addition, the University has an innovative partnership with Fashion Roundtable ORG LTD, with whom it works on policy reports, events, research and thought leadership. Fashion Roundtable is already well respected at a national and international level as the only think tank dedicated to reimagining a creative and responsible fashion industry.
Fashion Roundtable is also the secretariat for the only All-Party Parliamentary Group which focuses on the fashion industry’s transition towards social justice and sustainability. The National Centre for Fashion and Sustainability will run research and projects that explore every step of the fashion and textile journey, from farming practices, remaking, natural dyeing, zero waste design and garment end of life, to critiquing and transforming economic models, political drivers and new modes of teaching.
Every facet of the industry will be brought to the table, where everyone can work together to find regenerative solutions.
A partnership between Bath Spa University and the world-renowned Fashion Museum Bath, the National Centre for Fashion and Sustainability will create a space where leading thinkers, learners, businesses and communities can connect and drive the fashion and textile industry toward new, regenerative practices that will be healthy for people and the planet.
More details about the centre, alongside the Hub’s programme of activity will be released a little later this summer.
