This course critically examines manufacturing and production within the global fashion system, emphasizing sustainability, equity, and innovation. Students will analyze diverse product lifecycle systems and circular supply chain models, evaluating how ethical manufacturing practices intersect with profit-driven business imperatives. The course explores both traditional and next-generation materials alongside emerging technologies that are reshaping global production, with particular attention to issues of resource efficiency, labor justice, and environmental impact. Craft, slow fashion, and localized modes of making are positioned as critical counterpoints to industrialized production, highlighting their cultural and economic significance. Through case studies, applied research, and strategic analysis, students will develop advanced competencies in assessing product and resource development, and in designing methodologies that respond to evolving consumer expectations while advancing systemic transformation in fashion production.
