The Ethical Fashion Course

2 July - 6 August 2026

Whether you already lead an established brand, are preparing to launch your own, or feel a deep calling to shape the future of conscious fashion, this course is for you.

Join the global leading Ethical Fashion Course

Led by the industry’s most impactful voices.

We are in a pivotal moment. How we build, buy, and wear is shifting. The next leaders in fashion won’t just design; they will question how, with whom, and why we create.

This 6-part course brings together the women, businesses, and projects reshaping fashion. Join leaders like Arizona Muse, Lily Cole, Kavita Parmar, Alessia Glaviano, Willow Defebaugh, Eileen Akbaraly, Helena Gualinga, and Jeanne de Kroon.

This is your invitation to build differently: collaboratively, consciously, and with integrity. Through unfiltered seminars, workshops, and panels with founders, activists, and visionaries, we explore fashion as a force for systemic change, ecological healing, and justice.
