About the Game

The aim of this research is to introduce participants to The Fashion System and its impact on people and planet. Developed by researchers at IADT and NCAD, it takes the form of an interactive discovery card-game workshop where players learn about how the fashion system works: from consumer demand and brand strategy, through garment design, the source materials used, garment manufacture and production, to how garments arrive in high-street stores or via online delivery.
