Manchester Fashion Institute

Description

Aims to advance critical fashion thinking and practice around cutting-edge topics such as ethics, 
diversity, sustainability, digital innovation, supply chains, and consumption, with a focus on fashion as 
a force for good in society at large. Our research community includes cultural historians, designers, 
technologists, and social scientists. We work on conceptual and applied research, and across various 
methodologies including practice-based research. We consider fashion in its broadest sense, from a 
material or digital object, to an expanded field of cultural activity over space and time, to a context 
for commercial activity. 

Fashion is made up of 3 broad thematic priorities, with cross-cutting themes of sustainability, digital, 
and EDI, with groups of researchers primarily working on:

• Fashion Technologies 
• Fashion Cultures and Narratives
• Fashion Business and Consumption
