It may seem as though a sustainable fashion future is one built from the top down, but the work being done within fashion education courses at schools like CMUniversity might prove otherwise: ad
Sponsored StoryAuthor:Fashionista CoLabUpdated:Nov 6, 2019Original:Nov 6, 2019One of the buzziest themes of this past New York Fashion Week was carbon neutrality. Gabriela Hearst produced a runway show with a reduced carbon footprint, complete with local models in heat-free hair styling. Industry giant Gucci publicly shared that the brand is now wholly carbon neutral, an announcement that comes months after Burberry shared its own plans to do the same.
"Sustainability has really been a part of our mission statement in our department and in the fashion program for quite some time," says Mamp, who teaches classes in 3D modeling and design, fashion history and queer fashion at the Mount Pleasant campus. "Many programs say, 'this is the sustainability course,' but we've been looking holistically. It's one of the imperatives of our university.
As Mamp says, this technology education includes learning how to utilize industry-specific, Computer-Aided Design software — something CMU has used for decades. Students learn how to develop and approve a design without the carbon footprint of physical sampling. Additionally, in the last few years, the school has begun to incorporate 3D printing. This method trains students to create "through an additive process versus a subtractive process," Mamp explains.
Ultimately, the example CMU is setting goes far beyond the classroom. As Mamp shares, the training students receive at CMU directly relates to work they pursue post-graduation. "Our students go into jobs like project development specialist, product manager, sometimes CAD designer," he says.
