Governance for Tomorrow (GfT) is an innovative new programme created to address governance in the luxury fashion sector, one of the most powerful yet unexamined means for driving sustainable transformation in the fashion industry.
The programme is managed by Centre for Sustainable Fashion (CSF) and is supported by CSF’s long-term partnership with leading luxury group, Kering. This programme is designed to bring together bold leaders, transformational ideas and creative thinking to fundamentally shift and re-shape fashion’s governance systems for today and tomorrow.
Across a three-year period, the programme will deliver new interdisciplinary knowledge, practical case studies and an education programme to empower industry leaders and professionals to work with new and alternative governance models that will embed humanity, nature and long-term thinking at the heart of decision making in and throughout fashion.
The programme will harness the power of creativity as a force for positive change, with earth and equity at its core. Through speculative design and participatory methodology, the programme will research, apply, test, and realise new and alternative governance models based on Rockstrom et al.’s call for interspecies, intergenerational and intragenerational justice to be used as the basis for realising safe and just Earth system boundaries.
Open to all UAL staff, students and alumni, early-career professionals, and seasoned professionals from around the world.
Governance for Tomorrow is calling on visionary changemakers to model a non-executive board. The Stewardship Board is designed to lead the creation of new and alternative governance models within luxury fashion. We seek a diverse mix of people, from different age groups, including students, early-career professionals, and seasoned professionals from around the world. You do not need to have experience in fashion, we invite applicants from all industries.
As a Stewardship Board member, you will work collectively to rethink, develop, and test out innovative governance practices that can solve the industry's toughest problems. You’ll consider diverse perspectives from across and within generations and global regions. You'll collaborate with experts from different fields to find new ways of leading fashion towards sustainability and stewardship of our Earth. You’ll model a non-executive board that embodies Earth Systems Justice, using governance as a key lever for change.
Deadline; if you're ready to be part of this shift, we encourage you to apply to become a member of the Stewardship Board, by 11.59 GMT Sunday 1 December 2024, to help shape the future of luxury fashion governance.
