Top 10 designers advance to the runway of the Grand Final Fashion Presentation, taking on practical challenges to prove themselves for Timberland collab and development funding
[10 May 2022, Hong Kong] Redress, the environmental NGO working to reduce fashion’s waste, announces today the 10 finalists of the Redress Design Award 2022, the world’s largest sustainable fashion design competition, supported by Create Hong Kong (CreateHK) of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as the lead sponsor.
The finalists, representing eight different regions worldwide and selected by an international panel of industry-leading judges, will be bringing their competition designs to life in time for the Grand Final Fashion Presentation in Hong Kong in mid-September, where the winners will be announced. Textile waste is a global environmental and economic concern, with more than 50% of fast fashion clothes discarded within one year¹. Designing sustainable fashion requires a combination of creativity and innovation, with consideration for the source material, the impact of manufacturing and usage, and products’ recyclability at their end-of-life.
