Fashion Matters was a two-year master research-based program and accompanying publication sponsored by Dutch fashion brand G-Star RAW at the prestigious Amsterdam-based Sandberg Institute focused on finding new answers to the future of luxury and fashion design, touching on sustainability, social responsibility and craftsmanship, among other timely relevant issues. Supported by the Fashion Council of The Netherlands, it counted with the participation from industry insiders such as Liesbeth In’t Hout and José Teunissen, designers Viktor & Rolf and Walter Van Beirendonck or fashion writers Christina Binkley and Bradley Quinn - nurturing upcoming talent such as Duran Lantink, current creative director at Jean Paul Gaultier.
