Fashion Design for Sustainable Brands: Delight’s Curriculum
Fashion Design for Sustainable Brands: Delight’s Curriculum
The global fashion industry is evolving—and sustainability is no longer a trend, but a necessity. As environmental concerns rise and conscious consumerism grows, fashion brands are being challenged to design with ethics, responsibility, and sustainability in mind.
At Delight Technical College in Nairobi, we’ve developed a specialized curriculum in Fashion Design for Sustainable Brands—empowering students to create innovative, eco-conscious clothing lines that not only look good but also do good.

At Delight, we prepare you to design responsibly while still being creative and competitive in the market.
