The opportunity

Centre for Sustainable Fashion (CSF) is a Research Centre of the University of the Arts London (UAL) based at London College of Fashion (LCF). Our work explores fashion’s relational ecological, social, economic and cultural elements to contribute to sustainability in and through its artistic, business and educational practices.

Ten years ago, CSF’s starting point was human and ecological resilience as a lens for design in fashion’s artistic and business practices. We have grown to be a diverse community of world leading researchers, designers, educators and communicators with an extensive network that crosses disciplines, generations, cultures and locations, enabling us to:

Create internationally acclaimed research
Set agendas in government, business, and public arenas
Pioneer world relevant curriculum
