“I want to investigate new methods of innovation that solve complex issues around environmental sustainability in fashion by investigating design strategies for garment longevity, multi-functionality, alterability and mendability as well as physical and emotional durability.” - Lili Sipeki

redress Design Award Collection

Lili’s Redress Design Award collection ‘REuniFORM’, focuses on tackling the large amount of waste that results from school uniforms. She reconstructs secondhand garments to transform them via patchworking techniques and quilting into elaborate, multi-functional and customisable high fashion garments that contradict the very notion of the uniform. Detachable pockets, frills and details increase the value and longevity of the garments.
