Introduction
The Master of Arts in Fashion and Textile Design is proposed as a research and experimental laboratory in which to study and develop, in collaboration with manufacturing industries and professionals in the sector, the design of innovative, sustainable, intelligent fashion collections that combine together the different creative processes (concepts of design and patterns, prints and threads, study of fibres, dying and embroidery, printing and weaving techniques) in relation to their technical characteristics, end-use destination and marketing.
The emergent professional figure will possess an excellent knowledge of materials, companies and districts which follow the dictates of the circular economy in order to manage the development of completely sustainable fashion collections that have a real positive impact on society.
