Behind the scenes of the 2022 finalists' sustainable fashion collections

Ashutosh Panda

Ashutosh Panda found inspiration for his sustainable collection by looking to the stars — specifically, the magnetar, one of the most powerful neutron stars of the universe.

Federico Badini Confalonieri has always valued nature and the environment. When he learned of the massive issue of microplastics in fashion, he knew he had to find a way to address it.
