About The Redress Design Award
Each competition cycle takes participants on an educational journey lasting several theory and design-packed months.
We work to educate designers about fashion’s negative environmental impacts, whilst inspiring them to use the core sustainable design techniques of zero-waste, up-cycling and reconstruction to cut waste out of fashion.
Through our university talks, sustainable fashion workshops, the online Redress Academy and in partnership with more than 150 universities around the world, we provide young designers with the theory and techniques to help them understand the new circular economy and capitalise on its global potential for the fashion industry.
We then challenge participants to flex their creative genius and prove that they have the ingenuity and conviction to transform textile waste into stunning, scalable and commercially viable collections that will inspire and redress the world.
Last year’s Redress Design Award finalists were: Jessica Chang, Jin Pei-Wen, Isabella Li Kostrzewa, Psy Lau, Liu Feng, Tulika Ranjan, Lucy Saunders, Lili Sipeki, Friederike Snelting and Kristina Vyzaite. Read all about their collections in our review.
