Dear supporters,
We are delighted to share our most recent development with you; the launch of our The EcoChic Design Award Alumni Network, a platform to connect sustainable fashion designers with bigger industry opportunities in order to maximise their impact on making the fashion industry less polluting.
Over the past five years since its inception in 2011, Redress’ The EcoChic Design Award has gathered over 100 talented alumni from across Asia and Europe who continue to push the agenda for sustainable fashion design by showcasing their waste reducing collections on catwalks across the world, launching their own sustainable brands; informing their peers. Our previous competitors are becoming catalysts for change in their communities around the world.
At Redress we believe it is crucial that these passionate sustainable designers continue to be pioneers and to get the support they need to make lasting change. Our new The EcoChic Design Award Alumni Network does just this by providing:
Coming up, to drive the network and the designers further, we are exhibiting various talented designers’ sustainable brands in our alumni exhibition booth, to expose them to the region’s buyers at Hong Kong Fashion Week in January 2016.
But we still need your support. Our 2015/16 project is just £335 away from being fully-funded and with your continued donation we can continue in our mission to cut waste out of fashion. Starting today Global Giving are running a 'Little by Little' campaign where if you donate they will match 50% of your donation to boost our funds further. There is a limited amount of matching funds so please give today!
Many thanks,
Hannah Lane
