Module summary
This module extends the concept of sustainable analysis via the full lifecycle concept of a product introduced in DESN1381 Fashion Lifecycles1. In this module the sustainability of fashion products and the industry is explored for the garment manufacturing, distribution, usage and end of life stages of the lifecycle. The module provides the technical foundation for understanding these stages of a fashion product and supports the programme themes of environment, society, business and culture.Objectives
This module follows on from DESN1381 and will introduce students to the fashion garment manufacturing process and the subsequent post production stages of the product lifecycle – from distribution to end of life.The effect that the user can have on the environmental impact of fashion products will be investigated through the use of lectures, seminars and practicals.
Again the module will introduce the idea that decisions made at every stage of the fashion lifecycle can have an effect on the sustainability of a product.
