A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER

創辦人的話

IF this chaotic COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced anything, it’s that the Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, was right when he said “change is the only constant in life”. Whilst we all personally grappled to adapt as ‘change’ forced itself into our homes, hearts and lifestyles, the gigantic fashion industry was almost brought to her knees by the sudden need to change. Imagine broken supply chains, lost and cancelled orders, stranded fabrics and materials, fragmented business deals, and confused consumers and industry professionals alike. But the great thing about ‘change’ is that it invites new approaches. Necessity is the mother of invention, afterall. So as an NGO with a mission to reduce fashion’s waste that has been constantly shouting for change since our inception in 2007, COVID’s abrupt forcing of a departure from ‘business as usual’ was, in a twisted and unexpected way, a welcomed relief. The new urgency to find collaborative ways to reduce fashion’s hefty environmental load, particularly around textile and clothing waste which is core to our work, has not come a moment too soon. Left unchecked, textile waste, which currently churns into global landfills or incinerators at the rate of one dumper truck per second, is set to increase by 60% by 2030. We know we are not alone in demanding a less wasteful fashion industry. Time and time again I’m reminded that it's brave individual champions working anywhere from the drawing board to the board room who courageously, confidently and steadfastly dare to dream that fashion can do better. And this past year has proven both the individual resolve and a larger industry

We know designers hold the power to determine up to 80% of a product’s environmental impact, before the needle even touches fabric. So, we urgently need knowledgeable professionals entering the market if we ever hope to achieve a sustainable future for fashion. And we’re making Redress’ very own dream come true – with 160+ global fashion academic institution partners, 56,000+ emerging professionals engaged in person or online since our launch and a growing pool of 200+ alumni designers. As we celebrate our 2021 cycle’s conclusion, we virtually salute and thank our 10 incredible finalists dotted around the world for their commitment to changing fashion. As COVID-19 travel restrictions prevented our finalists from physically descending into our beloved Hong Kong, we created a hybrid virtual and physical grand final experience that included design challenges and masterclasses, and a grand final runway show graced by both virtual and physical models, as we stamped our highimpact educational competition into firm reality. The Redress Design Award could not have driven this wave of change from Hong Kong to the rest of the world without our sponsors. And so our heartfelt thanks go to our lead sponsor, Create Hong Kong, and key partners VF, Avery Dennison and TAL Group. Of course, there’s one very important person whose support motivates us to continue to do what we do – you! Thank you, for joining us in constantly demanding and making change, as together, we make fashion a force for good.

collective responsibility to overcome obstacles and to collaborate when facing this urgent crisis – together. At Redress, we are buoyed by the collective dreams of the next generation of fashion professionals who are redesigning a fashion industry to be proud of, many of whom apply to the Redress Design Award, the world ’s largest sustainable fashion design competition. Determination, nerves of steel and a dog-with-a-bone inquisitive mentality is an inherent requirement from our applicant emerging designers, arising from over 50 regions worldwide, and the 10 finalists now competing at the final stages to make their sustainable design dreams become a reality. Redress started the Redress Design Award with a strong calling – to change the future of fashion by educating the backbone of tomorrow’s fashion industry. It’s impossible to overstate how key educating tomorrow’s industry leaders is if we wish to change the devastating wake left behind by today’s.

THE REDRESS DESIGN AWARD 2020 PHYSICAL/VIRTUAL JUDGING SESSION.

2020年度「REDRESS 設計大賽」實體 /虛擬評審會議。

假如這個混亂的新冠疫情有強化到任何事物,那希臘哲學家赫拉克利 特說的「只有變化才是一直不變的」便是對的。 當「變化」強行進入我們的家庭、心靈和生活方式時,我們每個人都在 努力適應,龐大的時尚界幾乎要屈服於突如其來的改變需求下。假設 供應鏈中斷、訂單丟失和取消、面料和材料擱置、商業交易破裂,消費 者和業界專業人士都會感到困惑。 但「改變」的好處在於它帶來新辦法,始終,發明的誕生在於「必須」。 因此,作為一個以減少時尚廢料為使命的非政府組織,我們自2007年 成立以來一直不斷地呼籲改變,新冠疫情的出現突然強制改變了「一切 照舊」的模式,以一種扭曲和出乎意料的角度來看,這是一個會令人歡 迎的寬慰。 為減少時尚對環境造成的沉重負擔,尤其是減少那些圍繞我們工作核 心的衣物及紡織廢料,現在有迫切性要找出協調的方式。如果不加以 控制,目前以每秒一輛垃圾車的速度進入全球垃圾堆填區或焚化爐的 紡織廢料,將於2030年增加至60%。 我們知道我們並不是唯一一個要求時尚界減少廢料的人士。我一次又 一次地被提醒,無論是草圖板或在會議室工作的人都很勇敢和出類拔 萃。他們勇敢、自信和堅定地希望時尚可以做得更好。過去的一年證明 了個人決心和更大的業界集體責任,共同克服障礙並在面臨這一緊迫 危機時合作。 我們在 Redress 中被下一代時尚專業人士的共同夢想鼓舞,他們正在 重新設計一個引以為豪的時尚行業,其中有許多人也有申請世界上最 大的可持續時裝設計比賽「Redress 設計大賽」。決心、鋼鐵般的意志 和求知欲強的好奇心是我們對來自全球 50多個地區的新晉設計師的 基本要求,10 位總決賽參賽者現正在最後階段競爭,讓他們的可持續 設計夢想成真。

Redress 發起了「Redress 設計大賽」,強烈呼籲通過教育未來時尚界

的棟樑來改變時尚的將來。如果我們希望改變今天留下毀滅性的覺 醒,那麼教育明天的業界領袖的重要性再怎麼強調也不為過。

我們知道在正式開始前,設計師有權決定產品對環境高達 80% 的影 響。因此,如果我們希望實現可持續時尚,我們迫切需要學識淵博的 專業人才加入市場。我們正讓 Redress 的夢想成真,自我們成立以來, 已有160多間全球時尚學術機構合作夥伴、56,000多名新一代專業人 士親自或網上我們慶祝 2021年參與,以及日漸增長的200多名歷屆參 賽者設計師。 在我們慶祝 2021年度活動完結之時,我們在網上向分佈在世界各地的 10位出色的總決賽參賽者致敬並感謝他們對改變時尚的承諾。由於新

冠疫情限制了我們的總決賽參賽者親自前往我們鍾愛的香港,我們創 造了一個虛擬和實體的混合總決賽體驗,其中包括設計挑戰、大師課 程,以及一個由虛擬和實體模特加持的總決賽時裝秀,將高影響力的 教育性比賽融入現實。

如果沒有我們的贊助商,「Redress 設計大賽」便不可能推動這一波從 香港到世界各地的變革。因此,我們衷心感謝我們的主要贊助商創意 香港以及主要合作夥伴威富公司、艾利丹尼森和聯業製衣。 當然,有一個非常重要的人的支持不斷鼓勵我們繼續所做的事,那就 是您!感謝您加入我們鍥而不捨要求及做出改變,因為大家共同合作 使時尚成為一種作出積極改變的力量。

ACCELERATING SUSTAINABILITY

加速可持續發展

How digital solutions are enabling positive change in fashion 探討虛擬時尚如何幫助實現可持續發展

Written by 作者ᅠ|ᅠBel Jacobs


FASHION has been hit hard by the pandemic. As brands cancelled orders in the struggle to survive and factories were forced to close, garment workers were left destitute. Without the ability to travel or host live events, global fashion weeks became online happenings, comprising short films and designer interviews. Meanwhile, the spotlight has turned on fashion’s disproportionate contribution to the climate emergency. From carbon emissions to resource consumption, the impact of an industry whose products have vastly exceeded the essential is increasingly being questioned. Some of those seeking answers are investigating digital. With the pandemic keeping people at home, online purchasing became both a relief and a lifeline for many. In 2020, e-commerce’s share of fashion sales nearly doubled from 16% to 29% globally, jumping forward six years’ worth of growth. The shift to online purchasing will only accelerate: according to McKinsey’s The State of Fashion 2021 report, 70% of fashion executives are fully expecting growth of more than 20% in their e-commerce channels. Just over a quarter of executives project a jump of 50% or more. None of this is particularly good news about an industry that already produces too much. But while e-commerce and the digitisation of business operations is, according to the McKinsey report, “the most cited opportunity by far” for fashion in 2021, sustainability is the second – and it is the intersection between the two that could shift the industry’s heavy environmental and ethical record. Again, Redress has been quick to explore the possibilities: in a 2020 challenge, finalists were invited to digitally upcycle a deadstock garment; digital innovations are covered in Redress’ circular fashion course and, after a virtual 2020 grand final, this year’s event will feature virtual models alongside physical ones. Fashion marketing, including fashion shows, advertising and customer engagement, offers the most public face of digital possibility. At the head of a growing army of unnervingly lifelike CGI influencers, Lil Miquela (@ lilmiquela) boasts a cool three million followers on Instagram, and has modelled in campaigns by Dior, Chanel, Prada and Gucci. And while the versatility of the digital avatar may be compelling, its potential to cut fashion’s carbon footprint is more so: no more environmentally and financially costly photoshoots, wasteful influencer product hauls or the expensive shipping of physical samples.

Redress Design Award Alumni have been experimenting with digital clothing as a sustainable alternative. A futuristic bodysuit by alumnus Angus Tsui is currently available on DressX, the world’s largest platform for digital fashion, while 2014/15 first prize winner Kévin Germanier provided a Swarovski crystal-studded ‘ dress’ for quirky digital influencer Noonoouri. In the Redress Design Award Grand Final this year, finalists will be producing four outfits physically with a fifth item to be projected using virtual models, creating a seamless experience for the livestream audience. But it is behind the scenes that digital technology could have the greatest impact. Digital sampling – creating fashion designs in virtual software platforms – has real capacity to eliminate the wasteful processes of physical sampling and fittings. The opportunity for creative experimentation is equally infinite with designers able to play with virtual

fabrics, styles and prints, eliminating the need to send tests back and forth to different parties for approval and allowing fashion garments to be modified and edited in 60% less time. A recent collaboration between Adobe Substance and leading provider of 3D fashion design Browzwear has knocked out old issues of translating a digital design into a physical one – by drawing productionready manufacturing data from a digital image. And there is the ability to work in new ways with deadstock, demonstrated in last year’s Digital Upcycling Challenge, in which the Redress Design Award Finalists used Browzwear Vstitcher software to design and sample items of clothing, using TAL deadstock garments. “[With digital tech], you’ll be amazed at the speed and how many iterations you can get – with no waste,” said CEO of TAL Group, Roger Lee.

Higg Sustainability Index allow platforms to share data, accelerating transparency and accountability throughout the global supply chain. Speed and waste reduction, versatility and innovation, transparency and data sharing: digital technology’s position in a sustainable future for fashion is proving invaluable.

The burgeoning secondhand market has also profited from digital tech. Sites such as ThredUp and Depop employ powerful software and proprietary data to make it easier than ever for consumers to trade secondhand clothing. Luxury fashion B Corp Another Tomorrow is partnering with a technology startup to offer digital passports that trace garments from supply chain to secondary sales and beyond. Schwap, by entrepreneur Kalkidan Legesse, is a resale platform that uses participating brands’ databases to generate product listings at the initial point of sale. Partner brands earn passive income on clothing they have already produced and customers are encouraged to resell unloved items without the slog of finding garment data. Last but not least, digital innovation is increasingly being used to bolster fragile supply chains so that the human rights failures caused by the pandemic can never happen again. Projects such as a recent collaboration between the Open Apparel Registry and

時尚界受到疫情的嚴重打擊,品牌為著生存取消訂單、工廠被迫關閉, 工人因此變得一貧如洗。當人們不能出遊以及舉行活動,全球時裝周 變成線上活動,糅合短影片以及設計師訪問。同時間,聚焦點亦轉移到 時尚對於氣候危機不合比例的影響,從二氧化碳排放量到能源消耗,作 為一個產品遠超於所需的工業,其所帶來的影響不斷受到質疑。

部分尋找解決方法的人士正在研究電子平台。當疫情讓人們留在家 中,網上購物對於許多人來說成為了解決方法以及逃生門。2020年, 電商的全球時尚銷量市場份額從 16%上升至 29%,升幅接近 2倍,相等 於6 年的增幅。而網上購物的趨向只會加速,根據 McKinsey 2021年度 《The State of Fashion》報告,7成時尚從業人員預期他們的電商會增 長 20%,四分之一的從業人員預期會有5成或更多的升幅。

對於一個已經製造過多用品的行業來說,這些其實都說不上好消息。 但當 McKinsey 的報告指出電商以及電子化生意是 2021年時尚界「目 前為止最多人提及的機會」,可持續性隨後,兩者之間的互動將可以 減輕行業沉重的環境以及道德負擔。Redress 亦迅速地探索這些可能 性,在 2020 年的挑戰賽中,總決賽參賽者受邀網上升級再造滯銷存 貨;電子創新亦被包括在 Redress 循環時尚課程之內。而2020年線上 總決賽過後,本年度的活動將同時用上真人和虛擬模特兒。 包 括 時尚秀、推 銷 以 及 顧 客 參 與 在內的 時尚營 銷 為大 眾提 供了電 子化的可能性。栩栩如生的 CGI 網絡紅人不斷增多,如 Lil Miquela (@lilmiquela) 在 Instagram 上就有著 3 百萬關注者,她亦為 Dior、 Chanel、Prada 以及 Gucci 的企劃擔任模特兒。虛擬偶像不單止在多 元化方面吸引人,它在減少時尚界的碳足跡方面的潛力更引人注目,不 再有對於環境以及財政充滿著負擔的拍攝,網絡紅人浪費產品貨運又 或是昂貴的實體樣板運輸。

Adobe Substance 與3D時尚設計的領軍人物 Browzwear 透過從電子

影像取出準備好製作的生產數據,踢除了將電子設計轉變成實體設 計的問題。另外,滯銷存貨亦將有新方法處理。在去年線上升級再造 挑戰賽裡,Redress 設計大賽總決賽參賽者們使用了 Browzwear 的 Vstitcher 軟件,利用 TAL 的滯銷存貨設計以及為服飾打版。「(有了電 子科技)你將會被零廢料下的速度以及重複的次數震驚。」

越發興盛的二手服飾市場亦受惠於電子科技。ThredUp、Depop 等網 站利用厲害的軟件以及所持有的數據令顧客比以往更輕易地購買二手 服飾;奢侈時尚 B Corp Another Tomorrow 正與科技新興企業合作, 提供一個能夠追蹤從供應鏈到二次銷售及往後的電子證件;企業家 Kalkidan Legesse 成立的再銷售平台 Schwap 使用參與品牌的數據庫 產生出最起初銷售時的產品列表。

電子創新正越頻繁地被使用以支援脆弱的供應鏈,讓因疫情造成的 人權問題不再發生。如 Open Apparel Registry 和 Higg Sustainability Index 最近讓平台間互相分享數據的這類合作增強了全球銷售鏈的透 明度以及問責性。降低速度、減少廢物、多樣性與創新、透明度與數據 分享,電子科技在未來可持續時尚方面顯然至關重要。 ARTWORK SHOWING BOTH REGULAR PRINT AND ADOBE SUBSTANCE EMBOSSING EFFECT. (PHOTO CREDIT BROWZWEAR)

FASHION REVOLUTION WEEK’S FASHION OPEN STUDIOᅠ|ᅠKATIE JONESᅠ|ᅠJESSE LEEᅠ|ᅠKÉVIN GERMANIER

Taking the public behind the scenes of designers’ studios, Fashion Revolution Week ’s groundbreaking Fashion Open Studio saw April play host to a digital showcase of interviews, panels and tutorials. From an exclusive who’s-who of sustainable design talent, three of Redress’ own alumni were selected to take part. 2014 semi-finalist Katie Jones gave audiences a taste of her signature handicrafts with a masterclass on using crochet patches to repair beloved garments, whilst 2019 finalist Jesse Lee discussed his creative journey in a conversational workshop teaching simple denim stitching techniques. The line-up also included a chat with 2014/15 Winner Kévin Germanier, exploring the “most terrific trash” used by his award-winning Paris label, Germanier.

將大眾帶到設計師工作室的幕後,Fashion Revolution Week的 Fashion Open Studio 在4月舉辦了一場由訪談、小組討論和教 程組成的網上展示。他們從可持續設計人才中,挑選了 Redress 的三名歷屆參賽者參加。

2014 年度準決賽參賽者 Katie Jones 為公眾舉行了一堂充滿著她獨特手藝風格的大師課,使用針織補丁修復心愛的衣物; 2019年度總決賽參賽者李顯鋒在一個教授簡易牛仔縫紉技巧的對談工作坊中討論自己的創意旅程;陣容還包括了2014/15年 度大獎得主 Kévin Germanier,他在屢獲殊榮的巴黎品牌 Germanier 中探索所使用的「最棒的垃圾」。 FASHIONOPENSTUDIO.COM

Recently featured by ELLE Magazine as a designer to watch, he debuted his F/W 2020/21 collection at London Fashion Week to widespread acclaim. Featuring Angus’ blend of recycled fabrics and cutting-edge silhouettes, his latest work explores interchangeable design for more sustainable options. Angus’ futuristic flair has proven popular among the fashionable it-crowd, with Hong Kong singers Kira and Jace Chan spotted sporting his looks for music videos and award shows. And the profile of Angus Tsui’s sustainable eponymous label keeps growing- earlier this year, the designer secured a high-profile collaboration with retailer American Eagle. Commissioned to put waste back into use by upcycling pre-loved American Eagle jeans, Angus’ exclusive contemporary capsule collection comprised 15 one-of-a-kind pieces which were auctioned for charity. In May, Angus also took to the virtual stage to advocate sustainability in design at Hong Kong’s own 2021 Fashion Summit. 橫掃2012、2017和2020年度「Redress 設計大賽」獎項的香港設計師徐逸昇扶搖直上的事業已經勢不可擋。他最近被 Elle 雜誌名為值得關注的設 計師,亦在首次參與的倫敦時裝周發佈 2020/21秋冬系列,贏得廣泛讚賞。在最新系列裡,他運用了糅合回收布料的技巧以及先鋒的輪廓,為可持 續設計探索可互換的設計。徐逸昇未來感的設計深受時尚愛好者歡迎,香港歌手陳葦璇和陳凱詠亦在音樂短片以及頒獎典禮穿著他的服飾。

ONE year on from winning the Redress Design Award 2020 Menswear category, we catch up with designer Ngoc Ha Thu on her six-month collaboration with international powerhouse, Timberland, to create the pinnacle piece for their upcoming Lunar New Year 2022 collection, ‘Year of the Tiger’.

贏得2020 年度「Redress 設計大賽」男裝大獎一年 後,我們與設計師 Ngoc Ha Thu 談及她與國際著名 品牌 Timberland 六個月的合作項目 — 為 Timberland 創作 2022 年農曆新年系列「Year of the Tiger」的主 打單品。

What was it like working with the Timberland team? 和 Timberland 的團隊合作怎麼樣? I felt immediately welcomed and included as a member of experienced specialists in the field. Meeting weekly by video call, during the concept development and sketching stages, the Timberland team allowed me the highest degree of creative liberty, challenging me to push against conventional ideas and practices in sustainable fashion. Whenever I felt uncertain or unsatisfied with my work, we would come together as a team to devise concrete solutions. 他 們 當下 把 我 看 待 成 這 個 行 業 有 經 驗 的 專 業 人 員 之一 令 我 感 到 賓 至 如 歸。透 過 每 週 視 像 通 話,Timberland 團隊在發展概念以及繪圖的過程中都 賦予我最高度的創作自由,促使我去推翻可持續時尚 的常規概念以及做法。每當我對自己的作品感到不肯 定或不滿意的時候,我們會作為一個團隊一起相量建 設性的解決辦法。

Has the experience affected your own design process? 是次經驗如何影響你自己的設計過程?

EYE OF THE TIGER 虎之眸

Each aspect of the collaboration has been formative to my career, providing me with lessons that I have incorporated in my own work. Before this project, much of what I knew about the field was theoretical, and what little of that theory I had been able to put into practice was restricted to smaller scale, personal projects. Besides designing with Timberland, I was involved extensively in the sourcing process and gained valuable insights into sourcing sustainable and low-impact materials on a large scale. I also got the opportunity to visit VF partner factories in Vietnam, which provided me with a more pragmatic approach to sustainable fashion that is applicable on a large scale. I was most impressed with Timberland's CLS (Compatible ᅠ Layering ᅠ System) ᅠ which ᅠ enables designers to mix-and-match different layers of coats and jackets giving the customer garments that are fully versatile across different weather conditions – with ᅠ interchangeable ᅠ layers ᅠ between ᅠ different garments! I have been inspired to utilise and innovate CLS even further in my own designs.

合作的每一方面都有助我事業的形成,其中我學習到很多能融入工作 的知識。這個項目之前,我認識的大多是理論上的知識,令我只可在規 模較小的個人項目中付諸實踐。除了與 Timberland 一起設計之外,我 亦廣泛地參與了採購過程,在大規模採購可持續時尚以及低影響物料 方面獲得寶貴的見解。我亦有機會參觀威富公司在越南的合作工廠, 為我提供一個促使可持續時尚大規模製作的實用方法。

我影響最深刻的是 Timberland 的 CLS(兼容分層系統),它讓設計師 能夠配搭多層大衣及外套,透過可互換的服裝層為顧客提供多元化、 適用於各種天氣的服飾。它啟發了我在自己的設計中進一步去運用以 及創新 CLS。

activities and living conditions. I’m most proud that I was able to combine Timberland’s heritage with my own touch, upgrading an existing design to create a better product. For example, taking inspiration from the white tiger’s agility, I wanted to increase the mobility of the garment, looking into alterations in the joint areas – elbow, knee, shoulder point. I discovered that in previous versions of vintage military-inspired fishtail parka, the liner usually features half opened armpits, and decided to incorporate this detail in my design. 與 Timberland 一起設計農曆新年的主打單品是我莫大的榮幸。儘管這 個全球的疫情帶來不少考驗,這次合作為我提高了靈感以及寶貴的業 界知識,令我作為一名設計師得以成長,亦肯定了我對時尚界可持續 性的承諾。我最終的設計是一件三合一的派克大衣和一個大膽舞動的 白色老虎背包。大衣在不同場合有無窮的搭配方法,可以作為多功能 服飾或是實用的單品。我對於自己能結合 Timberland 的傳統以及自己 的風格感到自豪,升級一個已有的設計去設計出一個更好的產品。以 白虎的靈活性中汲取靈感為例,為了增加服裝的靈活性,我研究了關節 區肘部、膝蓋和肩點的變化。我發現軍用魚尾派克大衣舊設計中的襯 里經常在腋窩位置作半開,我決定將這一細節加入到我的設計當中。

What are you most proud of in your final Timberland design? 在最終的 Timberland 設計中,你最引以為豪的是什麼?

Working with Timberland to design the ‘pinnacle piece’ for the Lunar New Year 2022 collection has been a great privilege. Despite numerous challenges posed by a global pandemic, this collaboration has provided me with inspiration and invaluable industry knowledge, helped me grow as a designer, and reaffirmed my commitment to sustainability in fashion. My final design is a 3-in-1 parka and accompanying backpack with a bold and dynamic white tiger pattern. Worn as one multi-purpose unit or as practical separates, the parka has endless combinations for diverse

The experience I gained from taking part in the multiple educational activities was incredibly helpful, particularly through the VF ‘Made for Change’ challenge, which gave me a stepping stone into the brand. Every part of running a business was touched upon, from Sustainability & CSR, to Design, Sourcing and Production, to Marketing and Merchandising. What was also valuable to me was the other finalists’ interpretation of Timberland’s philosophy, and applying that understanding into a new context. During the design collaboration, I often found myself referring back to the materials given to me by Redress & VF for the challenge. 我從參加多項教育性活動中取得的經驗十分有幫助,特別是透過威富 公司「Made for Change」挑戰,這為我提供了進入這個品牌的基石。 從可持續發展和企業社會責任,到設計、採購和生產,再到營銷和銷 售,生意經營的每一個部分都有接觸到。對我來說同樣充滿價值的是 其他總決賽者對於 Timberland 美學的釋義,並將這種解釋應用到新的 情景。在設計合作過程中,我發現自己經常參考 Redress 和威富公司 給我的挑戰參考資料。

Any key takeaways from the experience? 是次經驗有沒有重要得著?

My experience with Timberland has given me a pragmatic and optimistic view of sustainability in the fashion industry, and continues to encourage me to experiment with the versatility of applied sustainable materials and practices. Timberland’s philosophy and active involvement with the community have given me invaluable insights in bringing sustainability into the mainstream, such as global brands leveraging their international power while considering local context and histories. 我在 Timberland 的經歷令我對時尚界的可持續性有了務實而樂觀的看 法,並繼續鼓勵我去試驗可持續材料和方法的多樣性。Timberland 的 理念和對社區的積極參與讓我在將可持續發展融入主流社會方面獲得 了可貴的見解,例如國籍品牌在考慮當地背景和歷史的同時活用它的 國際影響力。

What’s next for you? 你的下一步是什麼?

Through the collaboration with Timberland, I have come to appreciate the power and influence of an international corporation in its own supply chain and the global industry. I was also inspired to put what I learned into practice and launched my own brand XAVAN Studio this year – a thought I often entertained but never planned to realise. Our first product, the Denim Type II Jacket, is an updated version of the reconstructed kimono jacket in my collection for the Redress Design Award!

HONG KONG BEST WINNER 最佳香港設計師

FINALIST HONG KONG 香港 9PSY LAU 劉倩怡 HONG KONG-based designer Psy Lau unites a variety of sustainable techniques in her bold, eclectic menswear collection, influenced by the ubiquitous street style of her home city and her own experience living with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder. “I would like to create a new interpretation of the suit by combining it with street style to illustrate my story,” states the Hong Kong Design

in the industry. “As sustainable fashion designers we should consider whether sourced materials are sustainable and can be reused or recycled after use,” she says. “Each decision on pattern design, creation and consideration of users should seriously consider the environmental impacts of our creations.”

Institute alumna, who is currently pursuing a BA in Fashion and Textiles at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. “Through my designs I like exploring new solutions for fashion that have the potential to change consumption behaviours and limit the negative environmental impacts of the fashion industry.” Rendered in striking black and yellow, Psy’s designs symbolise the coexistence of hyperactivity in a world of ‘normal’ people. She draws from Hong Kong’s rich history of tailoring and craftsmanship, reviving slow fashion methodologies in her bespoke outfits. Unique and customisable, Psy hopes her work will make consumers reconsider fast fashion’s appeal. “I hope to enhance Hong Kong street fashion by inputting more personalised elements to the market, instead of blindly appreciating big brands only,” she explains. Using zero-waste textile processes, the collection ‘A.D.H.D’ is reconstructed from secondhand garments alongside industry waste including damaged textiles and yarns.“I enjoy finding beauty in things that are odd and imperfect,” she says of her creative practice. Introduced to sustainable fashion through the work of Redress Design Award alumnus Angus Tsui, Psy advocates for greater accountability

INDIA 印度

PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD WINNER 人氣大獎得主

TULIKA RANJAN THE great human and environmental toll of the textile industry in India proved key in the development of Tulika Ranjan’s collection – a cause particularly close to the designer’s heart. “I love to research as part of my creative process and have visited big

garment factories in Bangladesh through to remote weavers in Indian villages,” says Tulika, who holds a Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Design

from the National Institute of Fashion Technology in New Delhi, India.

“I have seen first-hand the real problems calling for real solutions and my dream is to be a part of this change.”

Her collection ‘Just An Outlier’ celebrates those she calls ‘rebels with a cause’: the fringe-dwellers and outsiders whose resilience is propelling systemic change. Aiming to start conversations around mental health within society, Tulika’s contemporary designs draw inspiration from the distinctive iconography of the Rorschach inkblot test. Using zero-waste and upcycling techniques, the designs unite factory waste with traditional handicraft. “India is very rich in textiles, both handmade and industrial. However, they are rarely used together,” says Tulika. “This inspired me to bridge the gap and marry the two waste streams together.” Tulika explains the greatest challenge to developing her sustainable collection was her highly selective sourcing process alongside the use of experimental materials. “To avoid chemicals, I am naturally dyeing undyed textile waste, then using soot for hand painting and screen printing. Soot is an innovative pigment created from waste by-products of air pollutants.”

通過零廢棄以及升級再造技巧,其設計融合工業廢料以及傳統手工藝 製品。Tulika說:「印度的紡織品十分豐裕,包括手工製及工業製的,但 是它們很少被一起使用,這推使我去彌合差距,結合兩者。」

Tulika 指出發展其可持續系列最大的挑戰是她極度高要求的挑選過程

以及實驗選用的物料。「為了避免使用化學物,我使用天然色素為未 經染色的紡織廢料進行染色,然後使用煤灰進行手繪及絲網印刷。煤 灰是一個由空氣污染物的廢棄副產品製作的創新染料。」

MAINLAND CHINA 中國內地

LIU FENG 劉鳳 RAPID industrialisation and urbanisation have created sweeping social change in rural China – with designer Liu Feng knowing all too well the impacts on those left behind. Her collection ‘Left-behind Children’ aims to raise awareness around these issues of displacement, as thousands of Chinese parents each year are forced to leave their home villages – and their children – to seek employment in major urban centres. “My inspiration comes from some of my own experiences, from the surrounding environment and people,” says the Apparel Design graduate

of Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, currently undertaking an MA in Pattern and Garment Technology at London College of Fashion. “I want to give this group some attention and tell people what they need is sometimes just a hug.”

Feng’s collection repurposes denim deadstock, a prolific resource that she believes is chronically under-utilised. “In China, a large number of stock fabrics are just waiting to be used,” explains the designer. “Due to years of accumulation there are many types of fabrics to choose from. By creatively finding ways to use and unify them, we can bring value back to these materials.”

劉鳳運用3D建模技術減少廢料。

To further represent the group’s plight, Feng also finds materials from a unique source closer to home – connecting directly with some of these impacted children to repurpose their old clothes into her garments.

USA 美國

ISABELLA LI KOSTRZEWA WHEN lockdown saw life in the USA state of Michigan grind to a halt, designer Isabella Li Kostrzewa set themselves a challenge: to develop a truly local, sustainable fashion collection from the confines of their bedroom. “Every challenge I face brings opportunity to create something more beautiful, practical, sustainable – like solving puzzles every day,” observes Isabella, a current BFA Fashion Design student at Parsons School of Design. “ Sustainable design is a much more fun process than designing with no limits, it pushes you to think and grow.”

Taking aesthetic inspiration from second-wave feminism and the counterculture movements of the 1960s and 1970s, their collection ‘Everything Bad I’ve Ever Done’ is envisioned as “a unique all-encompassing system” of dress – zero-waste, hyperlocal, unisex and adaptable. “I am so deeply inspired by the limitations that come with zero-waste making,” says Isabella. “It’s like a game, finding something out of nothing – the euphoric feeling when you crack the code of a new pattern, or find a use for the last piece of scrap.” Despite the constraints of COVID regulations, sustainable sourcing remained a priority for the designer – curating secondhand linen curtains, tablecloths and napkins for upcycling, all sourced within a 30-mile radius of their rural hometown. Unifying the traditional feminine handiwork of these materials with a sharp utilitarianism, their dynamic and fluid silhouettes allow for flexible, multi-purpose wear.

ISABELLA APPROACHES ZERO-WASTE MAKING LIKE A PUZZLE, RESULTING IN DYNAMIC MULTI-PURPOSE WEAR ISABELLA.

Isabella proposes a radical vision for the future of fashion, whereby “no more virgin-fibre textiles are produced ever again. Clothes would become so interesting!”, they remark. Ultimately, Isabella says their design goal remains simple; “To loosen up the gender binary with my clothes, and create things that don't hurt anyone in the process.”

FRIEDERIKE SNELTING WITH her competition collection ‘RE.SKI’, finalist Friederike Snelting has the sportswear industry firmly in her sights – bringing sustainable practice to the world of high-performance garments. “As a designer, I feel responsible for my designs' impact and effects, especially the social and environmental aspects,” says the graduate of Masters in Fashion Design Technology Menswear from the London College of Fashion, UK. "We are the industry's creative heads, and it is time to act and protect our planet by innovating the industry and setting an example.”

FRIEDERIKE SOURCED PRODUCTION SURPLUS MATERIALS MADE EXCLUSIVELY FROM RECYCLED FIBRES. FRIEDERIKE 採用了只由回收布料製成的生產盈餘物料。

The German-born designer’s menswear range reimagines winter performance-wear using upcycled production surplus. “Jackets have an exceptionally long product lifecycle,” Friederike explains. “However finding outerwear made of recycled fabrics is rare. I decided to not buy any new materials along the process and only use what I can find around me, challenging myself to use the fabric scraps I collected through previous projects as effectively as possible.”

In the conscientiously-designed lineup, oversized, padded cuts are paired with strategic elastication, creating garments that adapt with the wearer’s body for greater longevity. With structures informed by an innovative inflatable material (initially developed by the designer as a low-waste packaging alternative), the looks are evocative of retro skiing aesthetics. Taking inspiration from labels like French fashion house PATOU and sustainable fashion designer Bethany Williams, Friederike looks forward to gaining further experience in the sustainable luxury fashion sector. “I can imagine starting an eco-conscious brand with a forward-thinking vision,” she says optimistically. “Working sustainably is a process. With each project, you can widen your knowledge and optimise the level of eco-conscious strategies.”

JESSICA CHANG

暢芷荺

DRAWING from notions of protection, Jessica Chang’s utilitarian collection ‘The Wall’ explores different forms of barriers – from those existing in nature, to man-made architecture and emotional walls we build to protect our hearts. “My collection is a reflection of myself,” says the Fashion Design graduate of Parsons School of Design in the USA. “I always seek to see

duality in all things, figure out their relationship and the balance between them.”

Jessica’s designs look to synthesise industry waste with reconstructed secondhand garments. “Utilising existing materials and problem-solving are things we must consider as responsible designers,” she observes. Using zero-waste techniques, her unisex pieces are created with breathable panelling, aimed at reducing the frequency of washing. “It's very inspiring to approach designing from a sustainable angle,” Jessica notes, reflecting on the process. “I've discovered methods I wouldn't have thought of and discovered it is not an obstacle to design this way, but rather has improved my design skills.”

Citing her time interning with American designer Rachel Comey as the spark for her interest in sustainability, Jessica aims to rethink resource use and waste in fashion. “My goal in life is to make a career from conscious fashion, and nurture a community that thrives from one another,” she says. Now based in Taiwan, Jessica sources her materials from the prolific local textile trade – one of the world’s largest. Her goal for this industry is clear, asserting that “It would be logical to have some laws and regulations implemented that every brand has to offset a percentage of their carbon footprint, or have a certain percentage of materials that are recycled.” Collaborating with like-minded businesses, her collection utilises surplus deadstock, selected for its functionality and recycled fibre content.

LUCY SAUNDERS LUCY Saunders’ collection ‘ShowCase2021’ proves we don’t have to look far to see opportunities for sustainable change, with the designer finding inspiration – and source materials – in her own backyard. “The fabrics I use are always the most important element of my collection. It is about taking a product that has no use anymore and bringing new life to it,” says the designer, who holds a BA in Fashion from the Kingston School of Art, UK. “For this project, the products include old boat covers, old flags, tees and also a tent. Fabrics that I have around me, from friends and family,” she explains. “I use these utilitarian materials because they are hardwearing, durable and waterproof and I like the idea that these qualities create beautiful designs from a very practical starting point, bringing beauty into functionality.”

Reinventing these objects from her childhood, Lucy’s utility-inspired unisex collection combines zero-waste, upcycling and reconstruction techniques. Drawing from the great outdoors, the garments make the most of their source materials’ more unique elements, such as transforming the original eyelets or rope into mechanisms for flexible styling. “My designs are based on fitting as many different sizes as possible with multi-function elements, allowing fewer pieces to be made with different ways to wear them.”

USING ZERO-WASTE PROCESSES, LUCY SELECTS HARDWEARING TEXTILES FOR GREATER DURABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY. LUCY 採用零廢棄的手法,選擇了耐磨的紡織品以提高耐用性和可持續性。

Lucy hopes her approach to designing out waste will help shift the status quo. “I think fashion is a very exciting industry to be a part of if it's done right,” she reflects. “I do believe fashion is changing for the better and brands, designers and consumers are starting to think about the product they are making and buying. This includes using sustainable materials, repurposing materials, buying less but keeping them longer, and considering the lifecycle of the product and what happens to that product when it’s no longer wanted.”

KRISTINA VYZAITE

FOR finalist Kristina Vyzaite, circular fashion is no new phenomenon, but rather was a formative influence on the designer’s childhood. In a deeply personal collection, Kristina explores concepts of family, heritage and her experience consuming sustainably to survive.

By educating consumers in garment upkeep and repair, Kristina aspires to rekindle our emotional connection with clothes – a concept she refers to as ‘generational threads’. “Right now, the world’s consumerism is centred around ‘buy new’; I strive to change the default to ‘give new life’.”

“As a young child, I watched my mother rip up an old coat to create two coats for my twin sister and me,” recalls the designer, who studied fashion design at Vilnius Academy of Arts in Lithuania and holds an MA Fashion from Kingston School of Arts, UK. “Lithuania was still finding its feet after gaining independence from Soviet occupation and materials were scarce. This day has always stood out in my memory as it was the first time I was exposed to sustainability and rational consumption.”

In her collection ‘Nerimas’, hand-crocheted textiles and their symbolic significance to storytelling and family form the central inspiration. Upcycling tablecloths and placemats as raw material, Kristina meticulously deconstructs and reassembles into contemporary styles, even naturally hand-dyeing from home grown plants. “With the materials that I’ve used and the techniques that I’ve adopted, the garments are formed by truly sustainable means – but can then be unravelled and given new life.” Kristina is an avid believer in the power of slow fashion, and was inspired by her mother to pursue a career in sustainable fashion. “Celebrating the importance of craftsmanship and the old zero-waste techniques like knit and crochet, whilst making them relevant for nowadays, is something that is truly and uniquely sustainable.”

對總決賽者 Kristina Vyzaite 而言,循環時尚 並不新穎,但對 Kristina 的童年有著重大的 影響。在 Kristina 的個人珍藏中,她探討了 有關家庭和文化遺產的概念,還有她以可持 續方法生活的經歷。 持有英國 金斯頓大學碩士學位及畢業於立 陶宛維爾紐斯藝術學院時尚設計的 Kristina 回憶說:「小時候,我看見母親 將一件殘舊 的外套撕開,將它製成兩件外套給我和我的 孖生姊妹。」她又說:「立陶宛從蘇聯佔領下 取得獨立後,還未站穩腳跟,當地的物資短 缺。這些日子的回憶常常被勾起,那是我首 次接觸可持續和理性消費的議題。」

As a young child, I watched my

mother rip up an old coat to create two coats for my twin sister and me.

小時候,我看見母親將一件殘舊 的外套撕開,將它製成兩件外套給 我和我的孖生姊妹。

在 Kristina 的《Nerimas》系列中,手工鉤編的紡織品和它們敘述故事 以及家庭的象征意義成為設計的主要靈感。Kristina 升級再造桌布和餐 墊成為原材料,精心拆解並重新組合成現代風格,就連手工染色也是 用自家種植的植物作天然染料。她說:「我使用的物料和我採用的技 巧,使衣物能夠以真正可持續的手法製造,而隨後可以被拆散並賦予 新的生命。」 受到母親的啟發,Kristina 追求可持續時尚事業,並且是「慢時尚」的狂 熱信徒。她說:「歌頌手工藝的重要性和如針織和鉤針編織等傳統零廢 棄技術,同時使它們與當下息息相關,是真正且獨特的可持續作品。」

A childhood toy may seem like an unusual inspiration for a cutting-edge fashion collection, but for Jin Pei-Wen it has opened up a new world of design opportunities. Inspired by the interlocking polygons of tangram puzzles, her zero-waste collection ‘Tangram Club ’ is designed to be disassembled. “To make

pattern pieces that can be assembled into different styles, I spent a lot of time studying human body dimensions, doing experiments and analysis,” comments the designer, currently studying an MA in Fashion Design at Shih Chien University, Taiwan. “I finally came out with a zero-waste pattern making method, using simply one kind of curve and a straight line.” The result is a fully-interactive fashion experience, as approachable as the child’s play that informed it. “My tangram-based pattern blocks are in very simple geometric shapes, which can be easily reconstructed into a new zero-waste style after unstitching the fabric blocks”, Jin explains. Crafted using upcycling techniques, Jin uses the surplus textile samples of other brands to create her collection – a resource she explains is near inexhaustible in the manufacturing hub of Taiwan. The collection keeps the textiles’ end-of-life in mind at every point, prolonging their use life through multi-wear designs that fit a range of bodies.

The designer hopes to revive what she calls the ‘intangible but valuable elements’ of the creation process, focusing on transparent sourcing and craftsmanship. “I believe that the only way for industry to coexist with nature is to consider sustainability as a necessary priority in every decision,” Jin asserts. “As a fashion designer, I have the responsibility to make sure that not only the aesthetic works, but also the whole production process behind the garment has been well tracked and controlled.”

LILI SIPEKI SEEKING inspiration for her collection, designer Lili Sipeki looked to a globally unifying fashion experience: the much-maligned school uniform. Her boldly reimagined designs are challenging the attitudes surrounding these garments – and with 1.4 million wearable school uniforms thrown away in the UK each year, she sees untapped potential in the resource. “Having a family with school-aged children made me realise how much textile waste is created by outgrown or unwanted school uniforms,” states

design strategies for garment longevity, multi-functionality, alterability and mendability, as well as physical and emotional durability.” Her ultimate goal is to establish her own sustainable label that encourages people to be more conscious about their consumption habits. “It is such a rewarding feeling being able to use your skills and creativity to contribute to a more circular fashion industry.”

the University of Chester graduate, currently pursuing a Masters in Fashion at Kingston University, UK. “Seeing all the clothes being thrown away made me think how I could repurpose them and give them a new life.”

In her collection ‘REuniFORM’, Lili adapts traditional quilting and patchwork techniques to reconstruct the secondhand garments into distinctive high fashion looks. Challenging the homogeneity of the uniform concept, the customisable designs feature detachable elements and unique detailing to increase their practical and emotional durability. “Making multi-functional garments that can be personalised leads to a longer product life”, Lili explains. “The garments are designed to fasten

with laces so no hardware like zips or buttons are required, making them easier to recycle. The ties also allow the pieces to be adjusted and fit different body types and sizes.”

Inspired by the cultural heritage of her Hungarian birthplace, the designer advocates combining traditional textile handicrafts with contemporary techniques. “I want to investigate new methods of innovation that solve complex issues around environmental sustainability in fashion such as

設計師 Lili Sipeki 為尋找系列靈感,目光注視在一個全球一致的時尚 經驗 — 備受詬病的校服。她大膽想像的設計挑戰對於這些服飾的 態度,而當英國每年有140萬件仍可穿著的校服被扔去,她看見這個 資源窮不盡的可能性。 持有英國切斯特大學時裝設計文學士學位,現正在英國金斯頓大學 攻讀時裝碩士的 Lili 說:「我的家庭中有正在讀書的小孩,讓我意識 到不合身或是不想要的校服製作了多少紡織廢料。」她又說:「看見 這些服裝被扔去,讓我思考自己可以如何再次利用它們,以給它們 一個新生命。」 在她的系列《REuniFORM 》,Lili 採用了傳統的絎縫以及拼接技巧 將二手服裝重新構造成鮮明的高級時尚打扮。為了挑戰校服的相同 性,這些可定制的設計使用了可拆卸的元素以及獨特的細節去增加 他們的實用性以及持久性。

WHAT WE PUT INTO OUR CLOSET MATTERS

我們放什麼入衣櫥非常關鍵

Redress supports its local community by making it easy, affordable and attractive to shop secondhand. THE sale of pre-owned clothing is one of the fastest-growing trends in the fashion world. Already a US $24 billion market back in 2018, sales are projected to double to $51 billion by 2023, as brands increasingly see the value in recovering and selling preloved clothing. Consumers are also embracing the movement, with 51% saying they plan to spend more on secondhand in the next five years. It’s a business model that makes sense. In Hong Kong, Redress studies have found that two in five Hong Kongers keep their clothes for only a year or less, and that 30% of their unwanted clothes are thrown straight in the bin. With an average of 169 tonnes of clothing being condemned to landfill daily, Hong Kong needs solutions that can be implemented quickly and at a community level. To answer this call, The Redress Closet opened its doors in May, in Sham Shui Po – known historically as Hong Kong’s fabric and garment district, and now as a hotspot for hipsters and trendsetters. The shop, with its welcoming atmosphere, carries a daily-changing selection of one-of-akind finds. In turn it promotes a key mission of Redress to reduce clothing to landfill while raising critical funds to support the charity's programmes. “What we put into our closet matters,” explains Christina Dean, the founder of Redress. “We have always believed in the positive power of

fashion and we want people to love fashion, in a more sustainable way. This permanent shop is one way we are supporting Hong Kongers in making sustainable fashion choices.”

The model is simple, and starts with Redress’ Takeback Programme. Partnering with leading fashion brands such as Zara and Tommy Hilfiger, Redress provides dozens of used-clothing collection points across Hong Kong, where the public can drop off their unwanted clothing. Clothing is then sorted into categories, benefitting more than 20 charity partners and ensuring an extended life for each garment. The most high-quality clothing becomes inventory for The Redress Closet, and can be purchased by the public for as little as HK$50.

Redress 透過簡單、實惠、引人入勝的二手購物支持 本地社區。

二手服飾的銷售額是時尚 界增速最快的趨勢之一。 早在 2018 年,美國的二手 服飾市場已達到 240 億, 由於品牌更重視修復以及 販售二手服飾,銷售額預 計會在 2023 年前倍增至 510 億。與此同時,消費者 亦投身於這個趨勢,51%的 消費者指出他們正計劃在 未來五年在二手服飾上花 更多金錢。

這是一個合理的商業模式。在 Redress 的研究中,在香港,每5個人就有 2個人只會保留他們的衣物1年甚至更少,30%的閑置服飾更直接被扔 進垃圾桶。在2019年,每天就有169噸衣物被扔進堆填區,香港需要一個 可以立即在社區實行的解決辦法。

以回應這個需求,The Redress Closet 於5月在深水埗開張,深水埗一直 以來被譽為香港布料以及衣物的區域,現為時髦和時尚尖端人士的熱 門地點。通過這家商店溫馨的氛圍,以及每天更新的獨一無二的衣物, 它藉此促進了 Redress 減少衣物被扔進垃圾堆填區的重要使命,同時籌 集關鍵資金來支持慈善機構的不同計劃。

Redress 創辦人 Christina Dean 說: 「關鍵在於我們放什麼進入衣櫥。」 她接着說: 「我們一直相信時尚的正能量,我們希望人們以一個可持續 的方式喜愛時尚。這間永久的店鋪是我們支持香港人做出可持續時尚 選擇的一個方法。」

從 Redress 創新的衣物收集計劃開始,模式非常簡單。Redress 與 Zara 和 Tommy Hilfiger 等領先品牌合作,在香港提供眾多衣物收集箱,讓人 們更容易掉去閑置服飾。經過一絲不苟的挑選後,這些衣物會惠及 20 多個慈善合作夥伴,並確保每件衣服的使用壽命更長。最高質量的服飾 將成為 The Redress Closet 的庫存,大眾能夠以低至50港元購入。

STRETCHING BOUNDARIES 伸展邊界

Stretch denim has become standard in recent years but the very formula that made it popular – blending synthetic elastane into cotton twill – has also made it untenable in ecologically challenged times. Italian Denim mill Candiani Denim has developed the world’s first compostable stretch denim, replacing petrol-based content with COREVA™, a renewable and biodegradable component made from natural rubber.

Energy-intensive, petroleum-dense polyester currently makes up more than 65% of fibres used in the textile and apparel industry.

The ability to recycle blended textiles is key to a circular fashion industry.

SHIFTING THE LANDSCAPE OF EDUCATION

改變教育格局

Written by 作者ᅠ|ᅠMorgane Parizot Director of Education, Redress Redress 教育總監

LOOKING back on a decade of the Redress Design Award, it’s both startling and thrilling to see the change in the overall landscape of fashion in relation to sustainability during this time. From the onset, via the competition, we set out to highlight the issues around waste and inspire a generation of designers to be part of a critical shift for the industry. Over the years we have worked directly with 218 emerging designers – now our alumni – seeing them grow and flourish, proposing alternative solutions to change the fashion industry, one garment at a time.

回顧過去十年的「Redressᅠ設計大賽」,可持續發展相關的時尚整體格 局的變化令人既震驚又興奮。從一開始,我們就通過大賽著手強調廢 物問題,並激勵一代的設計師成為行業關鍵轉變的一部分。多年來,我 們一直與218位新興設計師 — 現在的歷屆參賽者 — 直接合作,看著他 們進步成長,透過每一件衣服提出改變時尚行業的替代解決方案。

At the core of our annual competition is education. We believe that learning and awareness is the first step of any change, and that equipping emerging designers with the right information and tools as they head into their careers is key to fulfil the urgent needs of the industry.

自成立以來,我們由在亞洲的家透過網上和親身向超過 56,000人提 供循環和可持續設計內容。我們的工作基礎在於培養與學術機構的密 切關係,以推動高等教育內部的系統性變革。在我們努力加快可持續 發展教育的同時,Redress 繼續為設計師和其他時尚行業專業人士開 發和利用我們的免費資源。

From our home in Asia, we have delivered circular and sustainable design content online and in person to more than 56,000 individuals since the inaugural cycle. The foundation of our work lies in fostering close relationships with academic institutions to drive systemic change within higher education. While we work to accelerate a reduction in this gap in sustainability education, Redress continues to develop and build on our free resources for designers and other fashion industry professionals.

我們年度大賽的核心是教育。我們相信學習和意識是任何變革的第一 步,在新興設計師進入職業生涯時為他們提供正確的信息和工具是滿 足行業迫切需求的關鍵。

通過提供工具增強教學內容和鼓勵跨區域以及行業和教育者之間的 交流和討論,我們支持 160多個並持續增長的合作機構網絡的可持續 發展教育之旅。

我們在 Redress 永�止�的�力��我們������的���度不 足以�現行���的������的��目����可����是否

Without Redress’ strong determination and devoted hearty contributions throughout these years to engage our local institutions

in the pedagogical planning, the sustainability awareness would not have advanced to such positive stage [in Hong Kong].

這些年來,如果沒有 Redress 堅定的決心和熱誠的貢獻,讓我們當地的機構參與教學規劃,(在香港)可持續發展的意識就不會 進步到如此積極的階段。

We support our growing network of 160+ partner institutions in their sustainability education journey by providing tools to enhance their teaching content but also by encouraging exchanges and discussions cross regionally and between industry and educators. Our never-ending drive at Redress stems from the constant concern that the system is not changing fast enough to hit all the ambitious environmental goals the industry has set. Is the lack of sustainability education failing our future generations? We need both industry and higher education bodies to be more transparent about the challenges of implementing ambitious sustainable goals and (re)educating fashion professionals. The collaboration between institutions and industry players is crucial to ensure they have the skills and knowledge to (move and) stay ahead of our planet’s needs.
