Abstract
Sustainability is an idea integrated into all creative industries, including the textile industry.
The development of an eco-conscious approach has now become a cornerstone of modern textile and
fashion design education. Eco-conscious fashion brands and "green collections" are born daily;
analysts estimate that the trend towards environmentally conscious production of textiles and clothing
will intensify in the context of increasingly apparent signs of climate change. Simultaneously, the interest
of fashion-sensitive members of the self-conscious and environmentally conscious Y and Alpha
generations will be increasingly focused on purposeful, eco-thematic training. Since the recent
epidemic, it has been well known; there is great educational potential in on-line training on the theme
of eco-design. However, it is not easy to develop up-to-date teaching material on a topic that has such
a wide range of quality literature! This article presents a course module developed within a project
funded by the European Union's Interreg Central Europe Programme, which deals with the textile and
fashion design aspects of eco-design. This article intends to present the course content briefly. Sustainability is an idea integrated into all creative industries, including the textile industry.
