Vanessa Mardirossian

I hold a Fashion Design Bachelor from Paris (1992-1996) and a Master of Arts in Textile Design from London (1996-1998). With over two decades of experience in the European and Canadian fashion industry, I bring a wealth of practical knowledge to my current role as a PhD Candidate in the School of Graduate Studies at Concordia University (INDI program, 2017-2024). My research, centered around Textile Ecoliteracy, bridges the realms of Design, Environmental Health, and Ecology, with a specific focus on sustainable dyes. I am committed to developing a macro vision for the fashion industry that aligns with ecological principles. In addition to my research, I contribute to the next generation of designers as a Textile Design Instructor at Ecole Supérieure de Mode ESG UQAM.
