Diversity Network
Description
The Diversity Network is a collaboration between Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) and All Walks Beyond the Catwalk, an initiative challenging the fashion industry’s dependence on unachievable and unhealthy body ideals.
Launched with the help of the government at Graduate Fashion Week June 2011, it promotes ‘emotionally considerate’ design and practice through innovative educational methods and research.
The Diversity Network connects academics across the UK, facilitating knowledge exchange and the sharing of best practice on the theme of diversity and engagement with users’ needs and feelings.
A hub for developing and showcasing cutting-edge academic projects relating to diversity, it strives to inform existing industry stakeholders, and the fashion designers and influencers of the future.
