WHAT IS THE REDRESS DESIGN AWARD?
The Redress Design Award is the world’s largest sustainable fashion design competition. Organised by Redress, the competition works to educate emerging fashion designers around the world about sustainable design theories and techniques to drive growth towards a circular fashion system. By putting sustainable design talent in the global spotlight, the competition creates a unique platform for passionate and talented fashion game-changers to transform the global fashion industry and rewards the best with career-changing prizes to maximise long-term impact.
Each competition cycle takes participants on an educational journey lasting several theory and design-packed months. We challenge participants to flex their creative genius and prove they have the ingenuity and conviction to transform textile waste into stunning, scalable, and commercially viable collections that will inspire and re-dress the world. The top ten finalists will be selected to come to Hong Kong to take part in sustainable fashion educational activities, showcase their collections, and vie for exciting prizes including the opportunity to join VF’s Timberland team to collaborate on a design project.
DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO RETHINK FASHION?
You are challenged to design a contemporary collection for a modern, fashion-forward adult who is concerned about the environment and actively seeks comfort and style whether in the city or exploring the big outdoors.
Your collection will rescue textile waste, re-using these through upcycling while reimagining fashion, which will likely influence your creativity and processes.
There are multiple prizes on offer for the 2023 cycle with a development fund pot of HK$80,000 (US$10,000) to be distributed among the highest scoring finalists. All finalists and semi-finalists will receive educational and career enhancing prizes.
