Considering Global Perspectives in Sustainable Design Education
At BLACK PEARL, we believe education should reflect the full spectrum of human experience—honoring history, theory, and practice while embracing voices and visions from across the globe. Our work champions cultural heritage, local practices, and overlooked perspectives across the global apparel industry.
These moments are part of a larger vision.
While we can’t share full details yet, BLACK PEARL is developing a pioneering curriculum that reimagines sustainable design education through a globally representative lens. Conceptualized by our CEO, with our globally-informed team, this initiative centers voices often left out of traditional fashion narratives, offering design education that reflects the the complex, lived experiences of creative communities shaping the fashion industry —equipping students to build solutions that serve both people and planet.
We’re actively seeking forward-thinking academic collaborators and mission-aligned investors to help bring this vision to life. Curious to learn more or explore how to get involved? Reach out to trish@withblackpearl.com for a confidential conversation.
