Out of Fashion, the training course on sustainable fashion organized by Connecting Cultures in partnership with Poli.Design scrl (a division of Milan's Politecnico), Fondazione Gianfranco Ferré and the support of the Consulate General of the Netherlands, will be back on November 12.
The course is celebrating its seventh edition while offering a new module entirely focused on the theme of recycling and end-of-life materials. As part of its program it will spotlight aspects that range from the need for a systemic approach and partnerships at a district level to the fundamental role of design and circular planning.
The new two-day module on recycling, scheduled for March 11 and 12, 2022, will be held in Prato, at the headquarters of specialized textile recycling companies and at the Polo Universitario Città di Prato, with appearances by expert entrepreneurs, professionals, scholars and journalists from the sector.
The themes of the course are proposed in a formula of seven modules of two days each, to be held on Friday and Saturday, for a total of 84 hours. The course will end in May 2022.
Out of Fashion is aimed at professionals, executives, emerging entrepreneurs and young workers in the fashion, textile, accessories and retail sectors coming from functional areas related to product development, design, fashion design, technical planning, public relations, marketing, e-commerce and communication.
Attendance is also open to students and recent graduates who are strongly motivated to deepen the themes of sustainability in their curriculum studies.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to orient themselves in the complex context of sustainability and propose feasible solutions for it.
Together with the online modalities through the Zoom platform, the training program is enriched with in-person modules with lessons, workshops and company visits. Lessons will be recorded and will also be able to be viewed remotely.
Registrations to the course for 2021/2022 will be open until October 31.
