I am passionate about combining the two traits of fashion that I love – creativity and innovation. When you combine these two traits with solid sustainable design foundation, I believe that unexpected discoveries can be made to make tomorrow’s fashion industry more sustainable – Wister Tsang

For his Redress Design Award 2012 Collection, Wister was inspired by the ozone layer, which serves as a protective layer for the life on earth. He used the reconstruction and zero-waste design techniques to create multifunctional outfits using leftover garments from Hong Kong secondhand shops.
