149students consider the relevance of sustainability issues
to the fashion industry in the year 2020 and develop a
creative response to the issues.
In responsibilities of Consumption: Educational Activities
plus Course outline, reading Lists and Essay Titles,
Hannah Higginson, Fashioning an Ethical Industry, UK,
presents one activity in which students match terms and
definitions, and a second activity in which students place
key historical events on a timeline. The third part of this
contribution is the outline of ‘The Responsibilities of
Consumption: Beyond Shopping’ module. The objective
of the course is based on the notion that students’ depth
of understanding regarding the ethical and sustainability
challenges facing the fashion industry, and crucially their
capacity to find solutions to these challenges when
they enter the industry, can be enhanced by teaching
the cultural, social and economic theoretical context of
consumption and production.
