The new design process could be utilised by a range of practitioners looking to evolve their practice. Overall, we can surmise, there is potential for evolving circular fashion practice and the fashion system through evolving the design process.

[Show full abstract] evolution and rapid digitalization of fashion education as it marks a shift away from the physical product and promotes new ways of making and teaching fashion. Through a mixed methodology, this paper provides an insight into the digital shift in fashion design education internationally and the new modalities it unfolds. We designed and facilitated an online interactive workshop with fashion educators from 6 different countries and created a survey to compare students' experiences with that of their educators. Data analysis revealed the shift from practical making skills and product focus, towards more digital and/or sustainable outcomes as evidence of fashion students’ design competencies, as well as significant changes to the curriculum, students’ deliverables, which stresses the importance of digital literacy in fashion design education. Moreover, it highlights the need for cross-institutional critical reflexivity in fashion pedagogy.
