Dear Valued Donor,
The fashion industry is at a breaking point. Global textile waste is expected to rise by 60% between 2015 and 2030. The urgency for innovative solutions has never been more apparent.
At Redress, we are on a mission to accelerate the transition to a circular fashion industry by educating and empowering designers and consumers in order to reduce clothing’s negative environmental impacts. This year, 2025 marks a major milestone for the Redress Design Award, celebrating the 15th edition of the global competition. This exciting anniversary also, however, underscores a stark reality — that fashion production continues to increase in scale, depleting planetary resources and creating unsustainable amounts of waste. The programme educates and empowers emerging designers to adopt circular design strategies, empowering them to take a role in reducing fashion's environmental impact. With an estimated 80% of a product’s environmental impact determined at the design stage, the role of designers is critical to driving circularity in the fashion sector.
The competition is now open, calling on the next generation of designers to take action. Please spread the word to any designers worldwide to join this movement for change.
Your contribution to our programme has already supported us in reaching a staggering number of 17,489 with our talks and workshops over the years. By contributing to our cause again here, you can help us continue this important work and support the growth of emerging talents committed to a sustainable future.
Thank you for your generosity and continued support. Together, we can make a lasting impact.
