This certificate, offered in addition to IFM’s core programs, is open to master’s students in both fashion design and fashion management. Each year, 30 students are selected based on their motivation to contribute to an impactful project.
The program allows participants to work over six months on a real-life project addressing key sustainability issues such as social impact, solidarity, material reuse, circularity, eco-design, civic participation, and collective engagement. Complementing the sustainability-focused courses within IFM’s main programs, the certificate promotes a cross-disciplinary and applied approach to ecological transition in the fashion industry.
