Around 5 billion garments are manufactured in the world each year. Doing all this work requires about 7,500 liters of water. These shocking figures have raised the alarm, inviting designers to implement some measures to combat the effect they have on the environment. From this, Sustainable Fashion was born, going from being a mere trend to an undeniable necessity. 

In light of the above, this postgraduate diploma has been created to provide new designers with a current perspective on the fashion world. In this sense, students will learn to rethink fashion design, learning about a new supply chain that allows the creation of clothing pieces with a longer useable life. This way, Fast Fashion industry consumerism will be combated. They will also learn the difference between different textile materials, taking their origin into account. 

On the other hand, this program will visualize the brand philosophy of great Sustainable Fashion designers such as Stella McCartney, who encourages reflection in each piece, using materials such as organic cotton, recycled polyester and cashmere, raffia, among others, to achieve fashion 100% conscious of the planet's needs.

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.
