Textile trends consultant Lidewij Edelkoort is launching a new postgraduate course at the Polimoda fashion school in Florence. She is calling the course ‘Farm to Fabric to Fashion’.

The two-year course starts for the first time this academic year, with classes beginning in October.

Ms Edelkoort has said her aim in running the course is to connect her students to the roots of garment production, expose participants to the entire lifecycle of pieces of clothing, “from farm to label, from seed to button”.

The need for regenerative farming, humane animal treatment, and the development of sustainable materials will all be part of the programme.
