A unique vision on fashion education

A learning structure inspired by nature

The master’s programme Critical Fashion Practices is modelled on the mycorrhizal network, the underground web of fungi that connects the roots of trees and plants, distributes nutrients and enables communication between living organisms. In a similar way, the programme is built on open exchange of knowledge, where participants, mentors and professional partners learn with and from each other.

You as a connecting node

As a participant, you are a node within this network. The symbiotic relationship between roots and fungi represents the open, horizontal exchange of knowledge within this learning community:

• between you and other participants;
• between you and mentors;
• and with the makers and researchers involved.
