The paradigm shift toward sustainability-driven practices within industries has ushered in a profound transformation, necessitating a recalibration of educational curricula to meet the burgeoning demands of this evolving landscape. Nowhere is this shift more palpable than in the fashion industry, a sector historically marked by significant environmental and social impacts. As the industry undergoes a revolution in sustainability, it becomes imperative for fashion education to mirror these changes. Fashion education stands at the forefront of preparing the next generation of professionals who will champion sustainable practices across the lifecycle of fashion products, from innovative design to responsible consumption. The integration of sustainability principles within educational programs, particularly in fashion, stands as a critical imperative in preparing the workforce of tomorrow. As the fashion industry pivots towards more sustainable practices, there exists a noticeable gap between the skill sets currently imparted by educational offerings and the growing need for sustainability-focused competencies. This chasm not only impedes the preparedness of graduates but also threatens the relevance and applicability of educational programs in addressing the contemporary needs of an industry anchored in sustainability. Recognizing this crucial juncture, our research aims to bridge this divergence by elucidating the significance of aligning educational curricula with the sustainability-focused demands of the modern fashion industry. The primary objective of this study is to delineate the specific skills and knowledge areas essential for professions emphasizing sustainability in fashion, and to propose pathways for integrating these within educational frameworks. Employing a rigorous and inclusive methodology, this research centers on a comprehensive survey conducted across various facets of the fashion industry.
