PARTNERING WITH

GOODWILL

Since we began partnering with Goodwill in the fall of 2023, students in our program have been able to get their hands on counterfeit designer goods. These goods have been donated to Goodwill, identified as counterfeit, and put into gaylords to be stored in their warehouses. Ultimately, these heaps of clothes end up being thrown away. Because these goods are counterfeit, it is illegal to sell them or distribute them.

Thankfully, we’ve been able to repurpose these goods in our Sustainable Fashion Design program and use them to teach students about different materials and construction. These goods also help introduce students to the harmful impacts--both environmentally and societally--of consumerism and passing trends. / 03
