At Zalando, we want to enable this wider industry transformation by acting as a catalyst and connector to drive progress among diverse stakeholder groups. This includes investing in the education of the next generation of fashion designers and providing them with the knowledge to meet the evolving demands of the fashion industry. One of our key projects in this direction is the Circular Fashion Design Course, created in partnership with the Graduate Fashion Foundation. The inaugural Circular Fashion Design programme was successfully piloted from September 2023 to April 2024 in collaboration with the The Manchester Metropolitan University. Building on the success of the pilot, Zalando is now ready to scale up the programme. In 2024/2025, five new European universities will be considered for the partnership, which is expected to reach more than 100 students. “We look beyond our business operations and embrace a role of responsible citizenship within the broader society. Our commitment involves imparting knowledge and nurturing young talent, aiming to foster positive, long-lasting transformations within the industry”, shares Lara Gesche, Senior Corporate Citizenship Manager.
