We are delighted to announce the new partnership between GFA Academy and Fashion Values – a sustainability education programme developed by Centre for Sustainable Fashion in partnership with Kering, IBM and Vogue Business.

 

Together, The Fashion Values partners bring together a network of sustainability experts, fashion professionals, educators, academics and students from across the fashion system.

 

With many synergies between our visions and missions, we are united in a desire to transform fashion through sustainability education, and to inspire students, individuals, and businesses to create change. GFA Academy will work closely with Fashion Values to empower students and emerging fashion businesses to develop their sustainability literacy, stimulate innovation and generate new fashion systems.

 

Open Call: Fashion Values Challenge

 

As part of this partnership, we are pleased to announce an open call for submissions to the Fashion Values Challenge – a global call-out for change-making products, services and systems in response to the question: ‘How can Fashion value Society?’

 

GFA Academy will act as a nominator for three applicants for this year’s Fashion Values Challenge to help identify the next leading innovations in fashion design, media and/or technology.
