About this Subject Spotlight

Join Lynee Hugill from Teesside University as she explores the world of fashion and fashion communication.
In episode one, Lynne explains the relationship between fashion and identity and how things like politics, environmental challenges, culture, society, and history have all impacted the way fashion has developed across time. In episode two, Lynne looks at the specifics of sustainability in fashion and poses the question: is fashion destroying our planet? Lynne also looks at the many ways fashion can influence societal change and how designers can do more to promote sustainability. In episode three, Lynne examines how technology has made a mark on the industry, explaining how social media, AI, virtual reality, and other digital advancements have brought the fashion industry into the modern era. In the final episode, Lynne recaps why promoting sustainability is vital for the fashion designers of tomorrow. Lynne then sets you an activity which encourages you to consider the clothes you have, and how you can do more to save the planet.
