\n–\u00a0Media OutReach<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a013 September 2021 – Redress, the world-leading NGO working to reduce fashion’s
\nwaste, announces the winners of the Redress Design Award 2021, the world’s
\nlargest sustainable fashion design competition that urgently seeks to catalyse
\nmultiple micro-circular economies around the world to reduce fashion’s negative
\nenvironmental impacts, following the Grand Final fashion show that featured
\nreal and virtual models that took place in Hong Kong on 11 September. The
\nRedress Design Award 2021 is supported by Create Hong Kong (CreateHK) of the
\nGovernment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as the lead sponsor.
\nEmerging designer Jessica Chang from Taiwan won First Prize securing an
\nunparalleled sustainable design collaboration with global outdoor lifestyle
\nleader, Timberland (a VF Corp brand). <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/images.media-outreach.com\/Thumb\/500x0\/176261\/Redress1111-3.jpg#image-176261\")
<\/p>\n
\nwhat is possible when emerging designs are given an opportunity to innovate
\naround sustainability. We believe fostering talent and innovation is both good
\nfor business and a necessity for the future for our planet,” said Sean Cady,
\nVice President, Global Sustainability and Responsibility, VF Corporation, who
\nserved as one of the judges. “Sustainable fashion and circular design align
\nwith our purpose of bettering both people and the planet. Watching our global
\nteams embrace this sustainability competition to mentor the next generation of
\ndesigners is incredibly rewarding.”
\ncompetition’s core criteria is to source and design into various waste
\nmaterials to activate circular fashion. Following the open call that drew
\napplications from designers in 58 countries and regions, the resulting 10
\nfinalists then sourced local waste – including end-of-roll, samples, secondhand
\nclothing, school uniforms, boat covers, damaged camping equipment to place mats
\n– to create their menswear and womenswear competition collections.<\/p>\n
\nwaste rates are unacceptable and change is not happening fast enough. Whilst recycling technology engineers search in labs for
\nbreakthrough recycling solutions and the finance community dither about
\nfinancing much-needed recycling start-ups, Redress is increasingly promoting
\nhyper-local waste sourcing solutions, spearheaded by fashion designers. Every
\ntextile deserves a second life.”<\/p>\n
\nrubbish truck of textiles is landfilled or incinerated globally, and textile waste is estimated to
\nincrease by 60% by 2030. Designers are said to
\ninfluence around 80% of a product’s environmental impact, which is why education is core to each Redress Design
\nAward cycle. As such, the finalists also took part in 10 days’ of
\ndigital immersive educational challenges and masterclasses in the lead up to
\nthe Grand Final fashion show, including the ‘Digital Zero-Waste Challenge with
\nTAL Group and Browzwear’, and ‘Icebreaker Move to Natural Challenge’ in the
\nlead up to the Grand Final.<\/p>\n
\nTIMBERLAND FOR EXCLUSIVE COLLABORATION<\/b><\/p>\n
\nJessica Chang whose winning collection
\nwowed the judges due to its strong marketability, commerciality whilst bringing
\nwaste back into designs that connect with and inspire consumers, now joins Timberland’s team to collaborate on an
\nexclusive sustainable design project, during which Jessica will also work
\nclosely with VF’s Sustainability and Responsibility team to gain valuable
\ninsights from across the supply chain, including responsible design and
\nmarketing. <\/p>\n
\nlife-changer for me,” said Jessica Chang. “Entering this complex industry as an
\nemerging designer is daunting because, so often, everywhere we look we see bad
\nnews and complexity. We know we can bring change. Yet it is hard to magnify our
\nbig ideas as start-up designers. The Redress Design Award has given me
\nconfidence – we are all in this together to make a positive change!”<\/p>\n
\nwith the awardees. “The Redress Design Award has not only become an important
\nbrand in the sustainable fashion design community that recognises talented
\nemerging fashion designers around the world, but is also an extensive
\neducational platform that equips them with sustainable design theories and
\ntechniques”.<\/p>\n
\nCOMPETITION’S LEGACY<\/b><\/p>\n
\nfinalists and semi-finalists are welcomed into the Redress Design Award Alumni
\nNetwork, which now includes over 200 talented designers globally, over 60 of
\nwhom have since started their own successful brands. These trailblazing
\ndesigners continue to act as international ambassadors to promote the
\ncompetition’s powerful legacy. <\/p>\n
\nshowcased six talented alumni sustainable fashion brands to global buyers and
\nthe fashion community at CENTRESTAGE, Asia’s Fashion Spotlight event, including
\ntwo brands home grown in Hong Kong. In partnership with accessories brand,
\nKipling, two Redress Design Award Alumni are collaborating to upcycle deadstock
\nfabrics back to life for commercial collections.<\/p>\n
\nCONSUMER ACTION<\/b><\/p>\n
\nlivestreamed, in partnership with TENCEL\u2122, to global audiences with a specific
\ncall out to consumers to act now to transform fashion so as to signal stronger
\nintent and demand to the industry. Consumer surveys consistently show that
\npeople are becoming more aware of fashion’s negative environmental impacts,
\nparticularly post-Covid. Key actions that Redress is promoting are; ‘Shop
\nBetter’ – look for sustainable designers, sustainable collections or secondhand
\nclothing – and ‘Wear Longer’ – to keep clothing in use. <\/p>\n
