Sustainable Fashion Design Trends: Delight’s 2025 Curriculum
Sustainable Fashion Design Trends: Delight’s 2025 Curriculum
As the world shifts toward eco-conscious living, sustainable fashion is no longer a trend—it’s the future. At Delight Technical College in Central Nairobi, our 2025 Fashion Design Curriculum reflects this change by training students to create clothing that is not only stylish and functional—but also responsible.
Whether you’re a new designer or an entrepreneur in the fashion industry, learning how to design sustainably opens doors to innovation, global relevance, and ethical impact.
🌍 Why Sustainable Fashion Matters in Kenya
Kenya’s fashion industry is vibrant, diverse, and rapidly growing—but it’s also affected by issues like fabric waste, fast fashion imports, and low-cost production pressures. Sustainable fashion addresses this by:
- Promoting local production and textile innovation
- Reducing waste and pollution from offcuts and synthetic dyes
- Encouraging long-lasting, high-quality garments
- Aligning fashion businesses with global eco standards
At Delight, we’re preparing the next generation of fashion professionals to design with purpose, not just profit.
