SchoolOfWhitePaper|永續時尚教育白皮書

Starting from 2019, the Education panel of LittleDesign.Solutions will provide all course subjects based on the next generation of design techniques.

We believe that the teaching-tradition of fashion should redesign to prepare students and people that practice fashion for the future.

Throughout our design careers in the Fashion industry, we’ve seen the transformation in the developing nations, from traditional textile development to clothing manufacture. The strong demand for consumerism in emerging countries leads to overproduction in the fashion industry. Digitization, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality developed widely in our industry. The pattern of fashion industry eventually shifted, and it redirected the mindsets of fashion consumers. 3D printing is not the substitution of the traditional textile. Flying knit and PET textile is not the final solution of bio-degradable materials. SAAS & algorithms cannot predict the actual need of the coming season.

On one hand, schools still encourage students to make strong personal statements on designs without considering social responsibility. On the other hand, greenwash and upcycle become trending marketing tools and branding strategies by faking the results or zero cost business.

What can we do? How do we do to teach the next generation of designers and consumers? How do we get everyone gets evolve to a future sustainable lifestyle? These are our goals at littledesign.solutions

Within years of practice on fashion design and upcycling, we created a series of classes to teach students how to do draping, pattern making, material making, and garment deconstruction reconstruction by remaking from their wardrobes. We believe that almost 40% of pieces from the runway collections can be upcycled by using the garments that we have purchased. And we also believe that by designing and making new items, we would have the possibility to awaken the creativity of fashion design which had long gone from the past decades. We also believe that would eventually rebuild the confidence of human designers and create harmony between humans and AI.

2019年起，立特方典 將改革時尚教育板塊，專注提供適合新世代時尚趨勢的技術型教育課程。

我們相信舊的時尚教育體系應該重新設計，並致力於更好地幫助時尚愛好者和時尚學子在未來時尚產業中找到自己的位置。

從多年的時尚從業經歷中， 我們見證了發展中國家從紡織業到成衣業的升級轉型；新興市場消費主義導致的從過度消費到過度生產的歷程；數字經濟，人工智能和虛擬現實廣泛進入我們的產業。時尚產業的版圖已經改變並重新構建了消費思維。然而， 新型技術如3D打印還不能夠完全取代傳統紡織材料，再生材料也並非環保降解的終極解決方案。而算法和應用系統也不能準確預估未來需求。

一方面傳統教育仍然在倡導設計師要強烈表達自己的設計理念卻忽視了設計師的社會責任感，另一方面漂綠和再造變成了品牌的市場營銷手段和品牌形象推廣的工具，並製造虛偽的低耗能環保印象。

我們能做什麼？ 我們要如何引導未來世代的設計師和消費者？如何帶動大家參與可持續發展的生活方式？這是立特方典未來的發展方向。

通過多年的設計和舊衣改造經驗，我們研發了系列課程，把設計，立裁，版型製作，材料改造，服裝結構和再造等時尚設計分類課程的內容融入到製作課程中，從改造自己的衣櫥的實踐中學習。我們相信，通過學習你可以用自己衣櫥中沈睡的時尚製作40%的秀場時裝。我們深信參與改造製作將會激發你心中沈睡已久的想像力和創造力。我們更相信這將幫助人類設計師重建信心並與數字夥伴和諧共處。
