Bath Spa University (BSU) has announced a number of new initiatives and partnerships which place it in the front row for the future of fashion, in Bath and beyond. Firstly, BSU has announced an innovative partnership with leading thinktank Fashion Roundtable to deliver impact and policy-change to power a transition to sustainable fashion futures.
