'Fashion Values' emerged as a result of a long-term partnership between Centre for Sustainable Fashion (CSF), LCF and Kering, which commenced in 2014, in support of sustainability, education and innovation.

Fashion Values aims to widen participation in sustainable fashion by developing open-source educational materials, events and competitions. Through it’s open-access online courses, industry webinars, and inspirational articles, the programme has enrolled over 10,000 learners across 150 countries to date. Each engagement raises awareness of fashion’s relationship with nature, society, culture and economy, with 96% of learners gaining new knowledge or skills.

Every year, the Fashion Values Challenge platforms solutions developed by emerging designers, strategists and communicators from across the globe. The programme also features the Next Gen Assembly in collaboration with Global Fashion Agenda, which elevates the voices of young changemakers through mentoring, networking and speaking opportunities, including a fully-funded trip to the Global Fashion Summit in Copenhagen.

“Fashion Values enables us to widen our perspective on sustainability, thanks to the ability of LCF to bring about new topics on fashion and sustainability.” – Pauline Pigott, Kering
