GCNYC has launched a Master of Science in Sustainable Fashion. Replacing the College’s previous M.S. in International Fashion Marketing, the new degree program provides the fresh vision needed to steer the fashion industry towards a stable, prosperous future in line with the needs of the planet.
Unique among college programs focusing on fashion, GCNYC’s M.S. in Sustainable Fashion prepares students for leadership in transforming the business and creative strategies of the fashion industry to support sustainability, social equity, and ethical practice. Students in the Sustainable Fashion program will learn the benefits of operating a business under a new paradigm, from supply chain to marketing messaging, eschewing the former singular goal of profit for shareholders and replacing that with the need to serve a wide range of stakeholders. Success under such a paradigm is not just doing better than before but actively doing good.

Fashion will produce leaders that fashion businesses need now, who will dramatically re-think the future of an industry that has been evolving to support a sustainable environment.”
