Reimagining Luxury Fashion Project
HUGO BOSS X Istituto Marangoni London
Students of the Master's Degree in Fashion Design from the London School had the incredible chance to engage with HUGO BOSS industry professionals to explore the future of sustainable fashion. This project, in collaboration with the prestigious brand, led by Noorin Khamisani, Course Leader for Master's Degree in Fashion Design, focuses on upcycling returned suits into innovative designs. Located at our London campus, the initiative highlights the school’s commitment to sustainability, creativity, and industry engagement.
What does the future of sustainable fashion look like? At Istituto Marangoni London, students are answering this question through a hands-on collaboration with HUGO BOSS. The project challenges MA Fashion Design students to repurpose returned suits—materials that would otherwise be discarded—into innovative, upcycled designs.
Throughout the project, Anna Schuster, the Sustainability Manager from HUGO BOSS, played a pivotal role. She delivered a presentation on sustainability and guided students through the process, helping them understand the importance of circular fashion and how to integrate sustainable practices into their work.
The project challenges students to reduce waste by repurposing returned suits, contributing to a more circular fashion industry.
The initiative encourages students to think innovatively about design, transforming existing materials into unique, high-quality garments.
The activity provides students with real-world experience and mentorship from HUGO BOSS professionals, bridging the gap between education and industry.
The collaboration culminated in a dynamic final presentation, where students showcased their upcycled creations to HUGO BOSS representatives and faculty. Each design reflected a unique blend of creativity and sustainability, demonstrating how returned suits could be transformed into high-fashion garments.
Anna Schuster’s presentation on sustainability set the tone for the event, inspiring students to think critically about the environmental impact of fashion. Students presented their work, highlighting their innovative approaches to upcycling and their ability to merge traditional tailoring with modern design techniques.
This project not only provided students with invaluable industry experience but also reinforced Istituto Marangoni London’s commitment towards sustainability and innovation in fashion education.
