Motivation of attending#

Fashion always had the power to bring changes in the society.In relation to the contemporary environmental context, the textile and clothing industry need to explore, develop and implement innovative systems that are increasingly directed towards sustainability.

What I want to achieve with Fabric Academy is being part of the fashion revolution. Thanks to know knowledge, I will take action in reaching a new sustainable approach in fashion production.
