Rut helped me expand my knowledge about materials and the placement of certain adaptive elements. With their expertise and guidance, I’ve been able to design an inclusive collection that addresses the needs of individuals, with the hope that more fashion brands will do the same.

I don’t want price to be a barrier for your success.
No.
This is about why products fail in real use — and how to fix it.
Accessibility is used as a design lens to detect friction:
– movement restrictions
– poor fit in use (not in static fitting)
– dressing difficulty
– pressure and discomfort
If a product doesn’t work in real life, it doesn’t scale.
That’s what we solve.
Only if you care about designing products that are actually used.
Most designers:
– design for static bodies
– validate in ideal conditions
– miss real friction
This leads to:
– returns
– unworn garments
– weak collections
Inside the program, you learn to:
– detect failure before production
– design for movement and use
– make decisions you can justify
This is not inspiration. It’s design performance.
No — but this is not beginner content.
You’ll work on real design decisions:
– pattern
– construction
– materials
– usability
If you want to improve how your products perform, you’re in the right place.
No worries — all sessions are recorded and shared with participants.
Sustainability doesn’t start with materials.
It starts with use.
If a product is not used:
→ it becomes waste
If it is used repeatedly:
→ it generates value
We focus on increasing real use.
Sustainability becomes a consequence — not a claim.
Yes — 100% of the training can be reimbursed through FUNDAE if you’re based in Spain.
