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.
