Program Overview

Sustainability is no longer optional in fashion — it's the new standard. The IED Sustainable Fashion Summer Course in Barcelona, Spain equips professionals and students with the technical skills and strategic tools to make a fashion brand genuinely sustainable across every stage of its lifecycle. From material sourcing and product design to logistics, marketing, and end-of-life management, this 2-week intensive program takes a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to one of the industry's most pressing challenges.

Held at IED's international campus — one of Europe's most prestigious fashion schools — the course combines lectures by working industry professionals, hands-on workshops, debate sessions, and company visits. Participants gain practical knowledge to develop sustainable projects, adopt viable business models, and redesign outdated processes. Barcelona itself adds a distinct advantage: a city known as a hub for international fashion brands and contemporary trends, offering real-world context and creative inspiration throughout the program.
