Global Citizenship magazine for schools

Dressed not to Kill

What is the impact of fashion in biodiversity? This resource is inspired by the Open University’s Hunting for Feathers film, part of their ‘Art and Climate Change’ series.

Dressed not to Kill

It uses historical artworks to explore how fashion from the seventeenth century to the present day has impacted biodiversity by encouraging the hunting of endangered species.

The materials will enable learners to:

  • find out about how fashion has impacted biodiversity.
  • analyse artworks to discover what they can tell us about fashion in the past.
  • explore how media is used to communicate fashion trends.
  • design an ecologically sustainable fashion accessory.
