Educating designers to cut waste out of fashion

Dear valued donors,

Despite the challenges of COVID-19, the Redress Design Award continues its mission to drive growth towards a circular fashion system. After the success of the 2020 cycle, the Redress Design Award proudly celebrates a decade of education to drive circularity in the fashion system with a report on its educational impact, including some 50,000 individuals reached through its activities across the years. Explore our impact in this report (link to Read Educational Impact Report)

In January, the Redress Design Award kicked off our 11th competition cycle with a thought-provoking panel discussion “Exploring Waste Hotspots to Hyperlocal Design Solutions” featuring experts across the industry who explored the changing landscape of sustainable design in response to waste hotspots and with this the diversification of sustainable design and emergence of hyperlocal solutions. You can watch it here (link) 

Educating emerging designers on sustainable design theories and techniques stays core to the Redress Design Award programme. Redress Founder and Board Chair, Christina Dean shares, “We must shift education urgently if we are to transform the fashion industry which, post-Covid, is rebuilding itself with sustainability at the centre. Now is the time to act. The industry is screaming for knowledgeable professionals to enter the market with ideas, techniques and creativity that can steer fashion through crisis and onto something more meaningful.”
