Redress Design Award Collection

For her Redress Design Award (formerly the EcoChic Design Award)application, Yi Hsuan is inspired to juxtapose discarded mass-produced, fast fashion items with the age-old technique of weaving to symbolise a spirit of awakening in a time of anxiety. She applies the design techniques of up-cycling and reconstruction to damaged industry textiles and secondhand clothing waste.
