With the equivalent of one rubbish truck landfilled or burned every second, fashion’s global waste is under the spotlight, and sustainability solutions are imperative. It is estimated that 80% of a product’s environmental impact is determined at the design stage. Redress champions sustainable fashion to designers and consumers, particularly in Asia, a region that accounts for some 60% of global exports of garments and textiles.3
The Semi-finalists have designed incredible collections of textile waste from industry and consumers, and from luxury materials to common tents. Their remarkable creations address the increasing demands for sustainability from consumers, especially in emerging markets.
In addition to the Semi-finalists, Redress is also welcoming its fourth cohort of Rising Talents, a programme offering in-depth circular fashion training and mentorship to designers who showed exceptional potential in their competition applications.

Chirag Parekh, India
