Lesson 1

Create your own Circular Fashion Brand

Our way of doing things is reaching its limits. Every second, the equivalent of one garbage truck of textiles is landfilled or burned. We need to rethink how we live and how we create new products. The circular economy is the way forward, but how do we raise the awareness of society that change is needed?

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation wants to explore new ways of spreading the message of the circular economy to a broader demographic of people, especially young people. One effective way of doing this is using fashion to raise awareness and accelerate change. Your challenge is to create a circular fashion brand that powerfully conveys the circular economy’s message to young people.

Aim to raise awareness and inspire positive change. Your circular fashion brand will live on the Teemill platform, and to stand out, it will require you to define your brand’s personal values, create an inspiring mission statement, and design a logo.

Bring your concepts to life by designing a range of T-shirts using the Teemill platform, focusing on communicating the importance of a circular economy.
