Introduction to responsible/sustainable practices for ethical design, development, and marketing of fashion product. Course includes the exploration of global and regional markets engaged in these practices.
This course delves into the exploration of the social and psychological dimensions of appearance and the human body, shedding light on their role in shaping hierarchies of privilege and power within the realm of fashion design.
