In an exciting move towards fostering sustainable fashion, luxury outdoor brand Canada Goose has announced a significant partnership extension with Central Saint Martins (CSM). This long-term collaboration underscores Canada Goose’s dedication to nurturing the next generation of changemakers within the fashion industry.
At the heart of this partnership is the joint effort to promote purpose-driven design and innovation. By teaming up with CSM, Canada Goose aims to push the boundaries of sustainability and functionality in fashion. This collaborative initiative brings together the expertise of two internationally renowned CSM Masters courses: MA Fashion and MA Material Futures.
Through this unique collaboration, students from both programs will work hand in hand to explore innovative approaches to design. By uniting disciplines such as science, technology, and fashion, the goal is to develop groundbreaking new materials and garments that prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility.
A key highlight of this partnership is the launch of the inaugural ‘HumanNature Award for Responsible Design.’ This prestigious accolade recognizes students who demonstrate originality and a commitment to responsible design practices. The award not only celebrates creativity but also emphasizes the integration of socio-ecological values in fashion design.
Looking ahead, the HumanNature Award will continue to be a significant feature of CSM’s MA Fashion program, providing a platform for future designers to showcase their dedication to sustainability. The 2024 winner of the award will be announced at the Central Saint Martins MA Fashion Show on February 16th, marking another milestone in this collaborative journey.
