famously shared that ‘Fashion is a reflection of our times.’ If true, then fashion reveals not just the season’s ideal hemline or hue but also our generation’s reactions to the state of the world; be it her politics, socio-economic conditions or the overall sentiment of her people. On the one hand, this couldn’t be more sobering.

如果屬實，這意味著時裝不僅流於表面地訴說當季最新剪裁與色調，而是反映著一代人對於政治，社會經濟條件和民生等世界現況。現在是我們需要深思反省的時候。今天的時裝業每年製造 150 億件新成衣，高達 20% 的工業水污染源於紡織品生產，同時產生數以百萬噸紡織廢料，正正道出了由我們這一代的貪婪一手造成的挑戰。但在另一方面，我們見證了香港及中國內地的時裝業意想不到的改變，他們由污染的製造者變成解決污染問題的先鋒。本地可持續設計師的掘起 (p66) ，以及中國領導性高級品牌上海灘的親身支持，見證了「衣酷適再生時尚設計」版圖由香港擴展到亞洲及歐洲的成果。

The

EcoChic

Design Award in 2011 in Hong Kong, Redress has been continuously providing exposure and development opportunities to winning designers and alumni to build up their portfolios, presenting sustainable fashion design in both public area and mainstream fashion trade fairs to raise awareness and generate demand on sustainable fashion, gathering industry professionals and design educators to exchange views, and holding lectures to educate design students on the sustainable fashion design principles etc. With the introduction of a global perspective to The EcoChic Design Award in 2013, the interaction with overseas participants has proven to be an invaluable experience for local participating designers and a precious opportunity to broaden their horizons. Having been the major sponsor of The EcoChic Design Award since 2011, we are particularly delighted to see the extensive support from different sectors and stakeholders for the Award. We are also thrilled by the innovative and stylish outlook presented in the works of the participating designers of the Award. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Redress for its commitment in promoting sustainable fashion design. I am sure that The EcoChic Design Award 2014/15 will be another success.

可持續時裝是可持續設計這大潮流的一部分。可持續時裝設計師運用環保物料，以及對社會負責任的設計技巧和生產方法，協助營造社會轉變的氛圍。我們把可持續發展模式融入現代的衣飾，以開拓新的環保意識視野及帶來新的商機。 Redress 一向竭力推廣可持續時裝設計及培育本地新進時裝設計師。自二零一一年於香港首次舉辦「衣酷適再生時尚設計」以來，Redress 一直為得獎的設計師和歷屆參賽者提供增加知名度和發展的機會，以建立他們的作品系列；在公眾地方和主流時裝貿易展展示可持續時裝設計，以增加市民大眾對可持續時裝的認識，從而產生需求；匯聚業內專業人士和設計教育人員，讓他們交流意見；以及舉辦講座，向設計系學生講授可持續時裝設計的原理等。二零一三年舉辦的「衣酷適再生時尚設計」首次引入國際視野，對參賽的本地設計師來說，與海外參賽者互動交流，既是難能可貴的經驗，亦是擴闊視野的良機。

創意香港自二零一一年起成為「衣酷適再生時尚設計」的主要贊助機構。我們很高興見到這項比賽得到不同業界及持份者廣泛支持，參賽設計師的作品展現創新和時尚的風格，也令我們喜出望外。謹此衷心感謝 Redress 致力推廣可持續時裝設計。相信「衣酷適再生時尚設計」2014/15 定會再創佳績，圓滿成功。

The Making Of

The power of the designer to

CREATE CHANGE 設計師創造轉變的力量 With fashion being one of the world’s most polluting industries, from production to disposal, there is now a growing urgency for fashion designers to be part of the solution. Here Alison Gwilt examines their important role.

he fashion designer, in many of our micro, small or medium sized fashion companies, is at the centre of the creative

process. The designer leads the development of the collection, from the generation of initial design ideas through to the production of the sample range. Throughout this process the designer has to work with pattern makers, sample machinists, suppliers, textile designers and buyers in order to produce the collection on time, within budget and to market expectations.

Although the creation of fashion is a collective process, the designer can be an agent for change and can influence and steer the broader team to engage with sustainable design strategies in order to innovatively and creatively reduce or avoid the environmental impacts of fashion clothing, including the levels of textile waste. During the design and production process, the designer can engage with sustainable design strategies as a method of minimising or avoiding specific environmental or social impacts associated with the lifecycle of a product. Currently within the fashion industry we can observe a small but growing range of brands that are successfully integrating sustainable design strategies as a means of reducing textile waste. Designers are readily exploring a variety of approaches to create more considered and slow fashion. This includes design for durability, where the focus is placed on producing garments for an extended lifecycle by designing them to withstand or enhance the wearing experience. At the same time, reuse approaches are widely employed by designers and strategies here include design for up-cycling, which places an emphasis on adding value to discarded or damaged garments or materials so they may become wearable again, and design for closed-loop systems, which aims to recycle waste products and materials through biological or technical processes in an effort to eliminate textile waste altogether. Encouragingly, whilst designers are innovating, we are also seeing change within academic institutes and within the broader industry as the range of strategies available to design continues to expand as new approaches are identified and trialed. With greater knowledge comes further confidence. Designers are now increasingly engaging with lifecycle thinking, which can lead to working

with several strategies across one or more lifecycle phases in order to achieve greater gains. Understanding the impacts of their decision making, positive and negative, across all aspects of the garment’s lifecycle in turn may also reveal other opportunities for intervention and improvement. Engaging with a wider range of sustainable design strategies at a given time, the designer can tackle areas of concern, such as textile waste, across a number of phases including at the outset of design, during manufacturing processes and at the disposal phase. This lifecycle thinking creates benefits within many phases in the lifecycle of a garment. But all too frequently during the creative process, designers give no consideration to their garments’ use and disposal phases in the belief that their ‘design responsibility’ ends once the garment is in the retail store. This reiterates the importance of designers embracing lifecycle thinking so that they consider their garment’s end of life even as they conceive the initial design. Armed with the knowledge, designers will then be able to routinely identify and employ appropriate strategies during specific points of intervention. However, if we are to support designers to engage with sustainability then we need to look at and critique the way that we teach, learn and use a process for design and production; and it is this point that I believe needs addressing. Ultimately we should be encouraging designers to embrace a multiplicity of sustainable design strategies within design practice as a normal, regular part of the creation process, and this can be encouraged both within the educational environment and the industry. Against a backdrop of challenges that face the international manufacturing community, including economic instability, resource scarcity and climate change; it is important that we support fresh perspectives, new ideas and innovation in sustainable fashion in order to inspire upcoming designers and safeguard a future fashion industry.

Feature

從生產到棄置，時裝是世界上污染最嚴重的行業之一；設計師卻是解決污染問題的良藥，Alison Gwilt 亦就此解釋身為設計師的重要性。

無論在微型、小型或中型的時裝公司，時裝設計師都是創作過程的核心。設計師帶領時裝系列的誕生，從設計意念的萌生，直至與樣板師、縫紉人員、供應商、紡織設計師和採購商合作，以確保產品能在預算之中準時生產，達致市場期望。雖然創造時尚是一個集體過程，但設計師能成為帶領改變的靈魂人物，以創意影響團隊採用可持續設計策略，減少及避免時裝對環境的影響，包括紡織廢料的數量。在設計和生產過程中，設計師可以融合可持續設計策略，盡量減少或避免與產品在生命週期所衍生的環境或社會影響。

在目前時裝業內，我們看到少數卻越來越多的品牌，成功融合可持續設計戰略，作為減少紡織廢料的方法。設計師很容易發掘更多不同方法，以創造出更有利環境的慢時尚。這包括從設計的耐用性著手，提升穿衣體驗的衣服，以延長服裝本身的生命週期。與此同時，重新再用亦被設計師廣泛採用，包括以升級再造將被丟棄或損壞的衣服或材料增值，令衣服可以再次穿著。另外，閉環設計系統能以生物或技術回收廢產品和材料，完全消除紡織廢料。令人鼓舞的是，不但設計師們勇於求變，我們也見證到學術機構和行業，都願意廣泛地接受可持續設計策略和發展新的方法。透過汲取更多的知識能建立更多的信心。越來越多設計師在設計前，都已經在產品的不同生命週期階段，預先考慮再融入一項或多項的可持續策略，以實現更大的收益。當設計師了解到，不論他們的決定是正面或負面，都會影響到服裝的生命週期；反過來想，同時也造就更多讓可持續策略介入及進步的機會。

設計師在特定時間內更廣泛地融入可持續設計策略，能夠解決不同的問題。以紡織廢料為例，如果在設計開始前，製造過程中，以至棄置階段，都能考慮到生命週期，這樣的思維可以在服裝的生命週期各個階段中創造好處。但由於創作過程太急速，設計師在衣服使用和棄置上沒有好好周詳考慮，他們的「設計責任」其實在衣服陳列到零售店上便結束。這再次重申設計師融匯生命週期思維的重要性，不論在衣服生命週期的結束或是最初步的設計。有了知識，設計師能更明確地識別，採用適當的策略。但如果要支持設計師採用可持續概念，我們需要審視和判斷，從教導、學習、以及使用設計和生產的過程方面著手，而我正正希望帶出這一點。最終，我們可以透過教育環境和行業兩方面，鼓勵設計師更常規更多元化地在創作過程中發展可持續性。面對全球製造業的各方挑戰，包括經濟不穩定、資源短缺和氣候變化等挑戰；我們要支持新晉設計師以嶄新視角、思維和創新的可持續的方式，來守護未來的時裝業是非常重要的。

Five Year Plan 五年計劃 The China Central Government is demonstrating its commitment to recycling and reducing textile waste. The 12th Five-Year Plan, which runs from 2011-2015, states clear requirements for utilising textile waste with the aim of achieving a 20% to 40% textile recycling rate, and 2014 reports claim that China was on her way to achieving this. At a time when China’s total fibre processing is predicted to reach 51.5 million tonnes, we are keen supporters of the government’s eager efforts.

中國政府正體現承諾，著手推動循環再用和減少紡織廢料。由 2011 至 2015 年所推行的「十二五規劃」，清楚表明計劃目標是達到 20 至 40% 的紡織品回收率，2014 年的報告指出中國正朝目標邁進。預期中國的總纖維處理量將達至 5,150 萬，我們是政府積極推動政策的支持者。

The Fabric of Football 足球布料 of converting discarded plastic bottles, which are made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), into recycled PET textiles. Enjoying a 70% market share of this recycled PET fibre market, including supplying ten teams with kits during the World Cup 2014, this is offering a solution for Taiwan’s huge consumption of plastic bottles, where 4.5 billion plastic bottles are used annually. Will the likes of David Luiz sporting a recycled kit spur a trend among football players and fans alike?

台灣紡織品供應商率先利用聚乙烯對苯二甲酸酯 (PET ) 製成的廢棄膠樽，再造成 PET 紡織品；佔據 70% 再生 PET 纖維市場，包括為十支球隊於 2014 世界盃提供套件。這為台灣每年消耗 45 億膠樽的嚴重情況下，提供了解決方案。你想 David Luiz 的再生足球套件會成為足球運動員和球迷們的潮流嗎？

Maternal Instinct 母性的可貴 catering to the growing girths of mums-to-be whilst also reducing textile waste. Amongst their services, customers can rent maternity wear to accommodate their changing bumps to minimise their impact. Of course we love the idea! Maternity Exchange 是一個新加坡的創新零售概念店，讓各位準

Changing Views 改變想法 One of the UK’s leading opinion-forming journalists on environmental issues and ethical consumerism, Lucy Siegle is devoted to widening the appeal of sustainability issues. Lucy is a regular contributor for The Guardian and has penned one of our favourite go-to books, To Die For, Is Fashion Wearing out the World? Lucy is certainly on our wavelength.

作為英國在環境問題和道德消費主義的議題上，其中一位最具領導地位的記者 Lucy Siegle ，致力促進大眾關注可持續性問題的。Lucy 是衛報的撰稿人，以及我們最愛的讀物之一《To Die For, Is Fashion Wearing out the World?》的作者。Lucy 肯定與我們站在同一陣線上。

Valuing Waste 廢料的價值 Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) is a UK-based organisation dedicated towards promoting recycling at home and in the workplace as a means of driving economic and environmental benefits. WRAP estimates that in the UK an estimated £140million worth of used clothing, which weighs in at approximately 350,000 tonnes, enters UK landfills every year. In particular, their work on the Sustainable Clothing Action Plan (SCAP) aims to improve the sustainability of clothing across its lifecycle. We couldn’t be bigger fans of their ground-breaking work.

Kering is one of the world’s leading fashion conglomerates who are placing sustainability at its core. By 2016, they aim to extend their sustainability targets and values across all of their 21 brands, which include Stella MaCartney and Balenciaga. Their targets touch on their use of water, their carbon emissions and more efficient goals around material use in their products and packaging. It’s great to see Kering going above and beyond compliance targets as they pave the way for sustainable luxury fashion.

開雲集團 (Kering) 是全球舉足輕重領導性的時尚集團之一，將可持續發展訂立為發展核心。到 2016 年，集團目標為旗下所有 21 個品牌訂下可持續目標和價值，包括 Stella MaCartney 和 Balenciaga。目標包括水用量，碳排放量和在產品物料使用和包裝上訂下有效的目標。我們很高興開雲集團能夠履行目標，為自己開拓光明前路，以可持續方式發展奢華時尚。

Every two years, NICE organises the Copenhagen Fashion Summit, where leading power players come together to discuss the fashion industry’s social and environmental responsibilities and solutions. Here’s hoping that their case studies will only inspire more change.

北歐清潔與道德倡議 (NICE) 是一項由北歐時裝協會率先開展的多元化項目。他們的網站對消費者而言是一個非常有用的工具，為他們提供各種衣物護理和延長衣服壽命的貼士。同時為設計師提供有關環境安全和道德的設計和採購資訊。每隔兩年，NICE 所舉辦的哥本哈根時裝峰會，將全球領導專家匯首一堂，討論時尚產業的社會和環境責任和解決方案，相信他們的案例研究會啟發更多的轉變。

Showing off Sustainability 展示可持續性 The Green Showroom shows off over 80 international sustainable fashion labels in Germanys’ leading biannual ethical industry trade show held during Berlin Fashion Week. The trade show also hosts a fascinating fringe programme full of talks from leading industry experts and seminars. We are encouraged.

在德國時裝週期間，於一年舉行兩次的盛大的道德時裝展中，T he Green Showroom 展示了超過 80 個國際可持續時裝品牌。該商貿展覽更提供業內專家講座和研討會專題演講，我們為此深受鼓舞。

THE JUDGES

認識大會評審

he EcoChic Design Award 2014/15 boasts an impressive line-up of influential judges. Our one international panel and our ten local panels of judges have collectively scrutinized our strongest line up of emerging sustainable fashion designers’ applications and designs to date. Here, we glimpse into three of our esteemed international judges’ daily lives to get a snippet of insight into their world of fashion.

為「衣酷適再生時尚設計」2014/15 擔任評審的都是舉足輕足的人物。我們的國際評審團及十位本地評審團一同從芸芸新晉可持續時裝設計師的申請及設計中細選。在這裡，我們會一瞥幾位德高望重的國際評審的日常生活，從他們的時裝世界中汲取啟發。

Orsola de Castro Co-founder, From Somewhere, Co-founder and Curator, Estethica 可持續品牌 From 品牌 From Somewhere 聯合創辦人, Estethica 聯合創辦人兼總監 Morning: I wake up to my coffee and The Guardian newspaper, which I read avidly. Then I go to my studio in Peckham, London to discuss with my team the day’s various tasks, from sampling to our ongoing projects, including Fashion Revolution Day (held on 24 April to raise awareness the fashion industry’s most pressing issues by asking ‘Who Made Your Clothes?’) which is always high on our agenda. Afternoon: I dedicate myself to creative things for From Somewhere. This generally includes making a big mess in order to create beautiful clothes! On Mondays, I teach at Camberwell College of Arts and once or twice a month I go to Kids Company to teach my up-cycling class. Evening: I go to many fashion events and art openings around London. If I have a social event on, I spend quite a bit of time deciding what to wear, sometimes with the invaluable help of my 11-year-old daughter!

早上：起床喝咖啡、細閱衛報，然後回到我於倫敦佩卡姆的工作坊，跟我的團隊討論一天的工作，從採購到進行中的項目，包括我們最重要的項目之一 — 時裝革命日（舉行於 4 月 24 日，提出「誰製造你的衣服？」以提高時裝界對最緊急的問題的意識）。下午：把精神全部投放於 From Somewhere 的產品創作上，大致包括亂翻一大堆衣物，以製造美麗的作品。星期一，我在坎伯韋爾藝術學院任教；每個月我會到 Kids Company 教導升級再造課程一至兩次。傍晚：出席很多於倫敦舉辦的時裝活動及藝術開幕。如果要出席社交活動，我會花很多時間決定我的服飾，有時候我 11 歲的女兒也會給我寶貴的意見。

Dorian Ho 何國鉦 Fashion Designer 時裝設計師

Morning: It’s collection development time and I’ve instructed the designers and merchandisers to check all available fabrics, accessories and trims that are in stock that might be used for the upcoming season. Afternoon: I have design meetings with the designers and assistants and we discuss upcoming trends, inspirations, directions, colours and silhouettes. I design menswear and womenswear together so I am able to share most of the fabrics and accessories leaving very little waste and hence saving time and money. Evening: My office day ends at around 8pm. After this, I usually go on to participate in local fashion events. If I don’t have a dinner appointment or a special event to attend, I usually spend the evening playing with my kids Hugo and Ting Ting at home.

早上：這是發展設計系列的時間，我會指導設計師及採購員檢查所有現有的布料、飾物及碎布，看看哪些可用於新一季的設計中。下午：跟設計師及助手開設計會議，討論新興的潮流、靈感、方向、顏色及圖樣。我同時設計男裝及女裝服飾，所以能夠雙重善用大部分的布料及配飾，剩下極少的廢料，並省卻時間和金錢。傍晚：我大約八時下班，之後通常參加本地的時裝活動。如果沒有飯局或特別的活動要出席，我通常留在家裡，把時間留給子女 Hugo 和 TingTing。

Yvonne Luk 陸思敏 Chief Editor, WGSN China 中國 WGSN 總編輯 Morning: I like to start my day with a quick breakfast and then I go swimming before work, as this is how I clear my mind and prepare for new challenges everyday. When I get to the office I research the latest developments in fashion. Afternoon: I meet with fashion people, including trend spotters, designers and product developers, and I work on creative and trend direction. I meet with WGSN clients to obtain first-hand information and user related understanding about their products. Evening: I usually make time for my family and friends or I check out my favourite blogs and social media platforms to look for interesting ideas or inspirations.

早上：在上班前我會吃一個快速的早餐然後去游泳，這是我整理思緒、為新一天的挑戰作準備的方法。回到公司後，我會搜集時裝最新發展的資料。下午：跟時裝界人士開會，包括觀潮員、設計師及產品發展員，而我則負責創意及潮流方向。與 WGSN 客戶見面，取得第一手資料及關於用戶對產品的了解。傍晚：我通常抽時間陪伴家人及朋友，或瀏覽我最喜愛的網誌及社交平台，尋找有趣的意念或靈感。

Hong Kong Finalist 香港總決賽者

‘I’ve realised my lifestyle greatly affects the environment and as a result I want to be a sustainable fashion designer to help to protect it. Through my designs, I hope to show the world my sustainable ideas and work to lower the negative environmental impacts of the fashion industry.’

「自我意識到我們的生活態度會對環境造成影響開始，我希望能為未來的環境出一分力，立志成為一名可持續時裝設計師。透過參賽系列，向世界展示環保理念從而引起大眾關注，把時裝設計對環境造成的污染減到最低。」

Cher is currently working on her own studio, The Share Studio, which offers tailoring for private clients that she established in Hong Kong 2014. She is a Fashion Design graduate from Middlesex University, London and has interned for numerous Hong Kong fashion brands and designers, including Barney Cheng and High Fashion International. Cher was inspired by the celebrated Chinese author Eileen Chang’s legendary literature and Chang’s personal fashion style for her The EcoChic Design Award 2014/15 collection. Cher used the sustainable design techniques of zero-waste, up-cycling and reconstruction onto her textile waste source, comprising end-of-roll recycled cotton and damaged textiles, which she sourced from fabric suppliers in Hong Kong, and secondhand textiles and clothes. The result is a collection featuring crocheted garments overlaying key pieces.

陳潁蓉在 2014 年於香港成立工作坊 The Share Studio ，為顧客提供度身訂造服務。她畢業於倫敦米德爾塞克斯大學 ( Middlesex University ) 的時裝設計系，曾多個香港時裝品牌及設計師的工作室實習，包括鄭兆良及達利國際。陳潁蓉的「衣酷適再生時尚設計」2014/15 參賽系列，靈感來自著名中國作家張愛玲的傳奇文學及她的時裝風格。結合零廢棄、升級再造及重新構造三種可持續設計技術，她把來自香港布料供應商及二手紡織品及衣物的剩布及損壞了的紡織品作紡織廢料，製作成覆蓋著鉤針編織衣物的服裝。

Get to know Cher

認識陳潁蓉

Who or what is your fashion inspiration? It can be anyone or anything, as I never know what I will be inspired by. I’m a very sensitive and emotional person in general.

你的時裝靈感從甚麼或誰人而來？靈感可以來自任何人或物，我也難以預計。整體來說，我是一個很敏感及感情豐富的人。

Where do you go to get inspired? If I have time, I like to travel because I can then bring back new ideas with me on my return. Last year, I spent six months in Beijing, Hangzhou and Paris and this trip was very influential. If I do not have enough time to travel overseas, I like to go to libraries where there are endless numbers of stories and therefore new inspirations.

你從哪裡尋找靈感？如果時間許可，我喜歡旅遊，因為我可以帶著新意念回來。去年，我在北京、杭州及巴黎待了六個月，這個旅程對我影響深遠。但如果沒有足夠時間到出外旅遊，我喜歡到圖書館，無盡的書本能給我無窮的新靈感。

What made you get into fashion? When I was very young, my mother studied fashion design and I used to silently watch her work on her projects. On my fourth birthday, I wore a skirt my mother made for me, which I have cherished and still have up to this day. When she gave this skirt to me, I knew that I wanted to become a fashion designer when I grew up. Tell us one unusual fact about yourself. In private I am quite solitary and introverted and I like to spend a lot of time alone. I don’t express myself well using words and so instead I like to express myself through my work, such as through drawings, photography and writing.

是甚麼令你投身時裝界？我的母親是修讀時裝設計，小時候我總是安靜地看著她工作。四歲生日那天，我穿了一條媽媽為我造的短裙，至今我還珍而重之。就在她把短裙送給我那一刻開始，我便知道自己希望長大後成為時裝設計師。告訴我們一件關於你的與眾不同的事情。私底下我是一個內向的人，喜歡獨處。我不善於用言語表達自己，所以我喜歡透過行動來表達，例如畫畫、攝影及寫作。設計及製作可持續時裝的過程中，你最享受的是甚麼？設計及製造衣物的過程充滿著機會及可能。設計對我來說就像畫畫，布料就是我的調色碟。我喜歡的是你永遠不知道一件衣服最終的模樣，直至完成那刻為止。

What have you enjoyed most about designing and making sustainable fashion garments? The process of designing and making garments is full of opportunities and possibilities. I design my garments as I would paint; my fabric materials are my colour palette. I like the fact that you never truly know what the garment will look like until it is finished.

VICTOR

Prize Winner 第二名獎項得主

Shing Hong Chu 朱承康 Hong Kong Wildcard Finalist* 香港額外名額總決賽者 *

‘Being a student with a huge passion for fashion, I have had the opportunity to understand the process of manufacturing clothes and I have witnessed the amount of materials being discarded. Seeing first-hand how fashion is damaging our environment, I started to reflect on my role as a designer. I think we should not solely be familiar with the design techniques and usage of fabrics, but also understand that both have a huge impact on the environment. I want to be a sustainable fashion designer to reduce the damage of the fashion industry. It is my responsibility as a designer.’

「身為一位熱愛時裝的學生，我們經常看見製造成衣的過程和接觸棄置的物料。眼見我們喜愛的時裝傷害了生活的環境，令我不禁反思自己作為一名設計師的角色。我們不能只熟識設計技巧和布料的運用，還要了解這兩方面對環境造成的傷害。我希望成為一位可持續時裝設計師，減少時裝界對環境的傷害，這是我們設計師的責任。」

Victor is currently studying Fashion and Textiles Design at The Polytechnic University in Hong Kong and received a Higher Diploma in Fashion Design and Development from Hong Kong Design Institute. He has previously interned for a selection of renowned local fashion designers and brands, including Johanna Ho and G2000. Victor was inspired by the founder of modern Chinese art, Wu Guanzhong and his Impressioniststyle paintings for his The EcoChic Design Award 2014/15 collection. Victor combined the sustainable design techniques of zero-waste, up-cycling and reconstruction to his textile waste source, comprising end-of-rolls, fabric swatches and his friend’s and family’s secondhand clothes. The result is a collection of diverse patterns and cuts made onto an array of blues, blacks and greens.

朱承康獲得由香港知專設計學院頒發的時裝設計及開發高級文憑，目前正就讀香港理工大學時裝及紡織設計系。他曾於多個著名本地時裝設計師工作室及品牌實習，包括何志恩及 G2000。朱承康的「衣酷適再生時尚設計」2014/15 參賽系列，靈感源於現代中國藝術之父吳冠中及其印象派畫作。他結合了零廢棄、升級再造及重新構造三種可持續設計技術，以剩布、布料色板及家人朋友的二手衣物作紡織廢料，製作成一系列藍色、黑色及綠色的多樣化圖樣及剪裁。

*One outstanding semi-finalist was selected by the international judging panel as the ‘wildcard’ finalist . This ‘wildcard’ position is available because all applications received from Germany failed to reach the competition’s minimum standards.

*由於所有德國的申請都未能達到比賽最低要求，故國際評審選出朱承康成為額外名額總決賽者。

認識朱承康

Who or what is your fashion inspiration? The Chinese contemporary artist, Wu Guanzhong inspired me to think about the concept of sustainable fashion. I believe that environmental protection is an art form.

你的時裝靈感從甚麼或誰人而來？受中國當代藝術家吳冠中啟發，我開始思考可持續時裝。我相信環保是種藝術。

Where do you go to get inspired? When I have free time I often visit exhibitions to feel inspired. One time while walking around, I stumbled across a Chinese contemporary art exhibition, which sparked an interest in Chinese art and culture. Since that moment I haven’t stopped turning to it for inspiration. What made you get into fashion? When I was in secondary school, I didn’t like my clothes and I lacked self-confidence. After some time I started to try to change my image by searching for my own style. At that time I became interested in fashion and I enrolled in fashion design courses so I could have a deeper understanding of the subject. Tell us one unusual fact about yourself. When I was younger I never thought that I would study fashion because I didn’t see a future in it and the salaries are often low. Finally after studying fashion design I chose to become a fashion designer. It’s really ironic how my feelings completely changed!

你從哪裡尋找靈感？空閒時，我會參觀不同展覽汲取靈感。有次無意中遇到一個中國當代藝術展覽，令我產生對中國藝術及文化的興趣，自此之後我便不斷在這方面尋找靈感。是甚麼令你投身時裝界？我在中學時期並不喜歡自己所穿的衣服，因此缺乏自信。過了一段日子，我開始尋找自己的風格，嘗試改變形象。那時候我開始對時裝感興趣，參加了一些時裝設計課程，以加深對時裝的認識。告訴我們一件關於你的與眾不同的事情。年紀較小的時候，我從來沒想過要修讀時裝，因為我看不到它的將來，而且收入通常較低。但修讀完時裝設計後，我立志成為一名時裝設計師。這個 18 0 度的轉變真的很諷刺！設計及製作可持續時裝的過程中，你最享受的是甚麼？我十分享受利用被遺忘及丟棄的布料和衣物。創作可持續時裝真的很令人滿足！

What have you enjoyed most about designing and making sustainable fashion garments? I have really enjoyed using forgotten and discarded fabrics and garments. Creating sustainable fashion is really satisfying!

Mainland China Finalist 中國內地總決賽者

‘I have always loved reconstructing unwanted clothes and this was the reason that I first entered fashion school. But since discovering the fashion industry’s negative impact on the environment, I developed a much greater desire to learn and practise sustainable fashion. My dream is to become a sustainable fashion designer.’

「我從小喜歡通過一些巧妙的改造，讓沒用的衣服重新煥發出時裝的光彩，這也是我進入時裝學院的原因之一。發現時裝對環境造成的負面影響令我希望進一步學習並實踐可持續時裝，成為一名可持續時裝設計師就成了我的理想。」

Aya recently completed her Fashion Design and Creation degree at ESMOD Beijing following her previous job working in the advertising industry. Aya was inspired by the Chinese qipao and Western tailoring for her The EcoChic Design Award 2014/15 collection. Aya uses the sustainable design technique of reconstruction on her textile waste source, comprising her friends’ and her own unwanted garments. The result is a collection of tailored garments in a dark colour palette.

齊小婷離開廣告界的工作後，投身時裝界，剛畢業於北京 ESMOD的時裝設計及創作系。齊小婷的「衣酷適再生時尚設計」2014/15 參賽系列，靈感源於中國旗袍及西方縫制方式，以重新構造這種可持續設計技巧，將朋友及自己的廢棄衣物收集後，制作成沉色系列的訂造服裝。

Get to know Aya

認識齊小婷

Who or what is your fashion inspiration? I am inspired by a variety of things, from the latest technological products to old artifacts and art. In addition, I like to read books as they give me lots of creative inspiration. But I am also very inspired by discarded clothes and fabrics. When the garments’ fabrics and workmanship are good and when I see the fabrics and garments all piled together, I am immediately motivated to start creating!

你的時裝靈感從甚麼或誰人而來？從最新的科技產品到古老的藝術品，很多東西都能給我靈感；我亦從書本中汲取創作靈感。但同時，廢棄衣物及布料也有很大的啟發性。當衣服的用料及手工良好，看到布料及衣物全疊在一起，我立即有動力開始創作！

Where do you go to get inspired? I enjoy going to art exhibitions, looking at travel photos and searching online for inspiration. What made you get into fashion? I’ve always loved the creativity of the fashion industry. More recently and backed with the financial securities provided by my earlier advertising job, I decided to follow my creative instincts and to pursue fashion design. I’m so happy that I am now following my dreams. Tell us one unusual fact about yourself. I love dressing up in fancy dress! Last year, my school organised an event and I dressed up as a plant, complete with a hat covered in insects and my daughter’s toys and socks!

你從哪裡尋找靈感？我享受參觀藝術展覽、看旅遊照片及上網尋找靈感。是甚麼令你投身時裝界？我一向熱愛時裝界的創意。最近，我從廣告工作得到財政上的安穩後，決意追隨自己的創作直覺，投身時裝設計。現在能追尋夢想，我真的很高興。告訴我們一件關於你的與眾不同的事情。我喜歡穿著具趣味性的衣服！去年，我在學校舉辦的活動中穿成一棵植物，頭上戴著一頂以昆蟲及我女兒的玩具和襪子製成的帽子！設計及製作可持續時裝的過程中，你最享受的是甚麼？我十分享受以最簡單的方法把廢棄衣物轉化成時尚而有趣的衣物。所以對我來說最重要的以純熟的設計技巧，是把衣物解構，再重新構造它的每一部份。

What have you enjoyed most about designing and making sustainable fashion garments? I really enjoy using the simplest methods to transform unwanted garments into trendy and interesting fashion garments. For this, the most important thing for me is to deconstruct and then reconstruct every part of each garment using skilful design techniques.

‘Sustainable fashion can save a lot of natural resources. Although at times it can be limited by some constraints, I think the artist, Phil Hansen said it perfectly when he said, ‘Embracing the limitation could actually drive creativity’. I love nature, and I want to give back and for this reason I want to continue my passion and learn more about sustainable fashion.’

「可持續時裝也許有其侷限，但卻非常節省天然資源。藝術家 Phil Hansen 曾表示：『在框架之下產生的創意，往往才是最純粹而無限的。』我熱愛自然，也想回饋她，所以我希望繼續以熱情學習可持續時裝！」

Yvonne is currently studying Textiles and Clothing at Fu Jen Catholic University in Taipei, Taiwan. She has previously interned for the large-scale Taiwanese garment manufacturer, Tainan Enterprise. Yvonne was inspired by the patterns of traditional Chinese porcelain and by artist Ian Berry’s denim collages for her The EcoChic Design Award 2014/15 collection. Yvonne used the sustainable design techniques of up-cycling and reconstruction on her textile waste source of unwanted denim samples from Tainan Enterprise and her family. The result is a detailed collection featuring a myriad of fabrics and shapes.

My initial ambition was to become a veterinarian, because animals fascinate me. What have you enjoyed most about designing and making sustainable fashion garments? I really enjoy brainstorming when working with a limited number of fabrics and garments. I like imagining how the sleeves and trouser legs can be changed or altered. This creative thinking process gives me a sense of accomplishment.

Who or what is your fashion inspiration? I often take inspiration from my daily life, such as personal challenges or daily experiences like walking down the street and hearing all the noises around me. I like to reflect my personal feelings in my collections.

你的時裝靈感從甚麼或誰人而來？我經常從日常生活中取得靈感，例如個人挑戰及日常經驗，像慢步街頭、聆聽身邊所有聲音。我喜歡在系列中反映自己的感受。

Where do you go to get inspired? I go to places where I can walk slowly, breathe fresh air and just sit and look at beautiful surroundings. Tanjung Putus Island in Lampung, near my hometown, is beautiful because the water is really clear and there are few people there. Henderson Waves, the beautiful bridge in Singapore, is where I can enjoy a scenic skyline view. What made you get into fashion? I’ve loved doodling and drawing clothes since I was young. When I was a child my mother subscribed to cable television so we could watch the international television channels and I started to watch shows related to fashion. I then became intrigued by fashion and I wanted to learn more about it and so I decided to pursue fashion as my career. Tell us one unusual fact about yourself. I am a serious person. I hardly ever get other peoples’ jokes and I am not very good at telling my jokes myself! What have you enjoyed most about designing and making sustainable fashion garments? I really enjoy the process of designing and making sustainable fashion garments. Designing can be quite challenging. But after I have developed my concept, matching the colours, drafting the designs, sewing stripes and panels into my garments and getting the garment ready becomes very exciting. Plus through this competition I have gained more knowledge about how to make more sustainable designs. Every learning process is rewarding for me.

你從哪裡尋找靈感？我會到一些可以慢步、呼吸新鮮空氣及坐下來欣賞身邊美麗環境的地方。位於我出生城市的楠榜 Tanjung Putus 島風景如畫、水清沙幼、人煙稀少，是個好地方。新加坡迷人的亨德森波浪人行橋則可以欣賞地平線景觀。是甚麼令你投身時裝界？從小開始，我一向喜歡塗鴉及在衣服上畫畫，而媽媽訂閱了有線電視，所以我們看到國際電視頻道。開始觀看與時裝有關的節目後，我便對時裝產生了興趣，希望了解更多，所以決定以時裝為職業追求。告訴我們一件關於你的與眾不同的事情。我是一個很認真的人，常常不明白別人的笑話，亦不善於說笑話！設計及製作可持續時裝的過程中，你最享受的是甚麼？我十分享受設計及製造可持續時裝的過程。設計可以很具挑戰性，但在發展概念之後，配搭顏色、設計草圖、縫製圖樣及準備服裝更令人興奮。加上我在這個比賽中學習到更多可持續設計的知識。每一個學習過程都令我獲益良多。

Who or what is your fashion inspiration? I’m quite emotional when it comes to finding my inspiration for my collections. My inspirations usually come from my own feelings or life experiences. Just like the painter, Frida Kahlo said, ‘I am the subject I know best’, I also believe that I am more successful by putting myself as the subject of my inspiration. Aside from this, I am also inspired by fashion designers, such as Yohji Yamamoto and Haider Ackermann.

你的時裝靈感從甚麼或誰人而來？我經常從日常生活中取得靈感，例如個人挑戰及日常經驗，像慢步街頭、聆聽身邊所有聲音。我喜歡在系列中反映自己的感受。說到如何尋找設計靈感時，我是很依照感覺而走的人。我的靈感通常來自個人感受或生活經驗。就像畫家 Frida Kahlo 所說：「我最了解的事物便是自己」，所以我也相信以自己作為靈感主題時，作品會更成功。除此之外，我也深受時裝 Yohji Yamamoto 和 Haider Ackermann 所啟發。

Where do you go to get inspired? To feel inspired I prefer to stay in a comfortable and quiet place, like my own home, where there aren’t many people or where I’m completely alone. Here, I can enter my own private space to let my ideas flow through and start drawing. Sometimes I also like to visit coffee shops in Kuala Lumpur or in my hometown, Kuching with a friend or two so that we can talk about random subjects and this gives me varied inspirations. What made you get into fashion? I can’t remember exactly when my interest started as I have always wanted to make clothes for myself. Ages ago, I used to ask my mother to get leftover fabrics from her seamstress friend so that I could make clothes for my dolls; and when I was in secondary school, the only thing that I got good grades for was in Art! Tell us one unusual fact about yourself. I’m left-handed! What have you enjoyed most about designing and making sustainable fashion garments? Before entering The EcoChic Design Award, I hadn’t designed or created much sustainable fashion and so entering this competition has been a really great experience. I’ve liked working with the zerowaste design technique the most and it is very interesting to see how the fabrics can flow even though they are never cut.

你從哪裡尋找靈感？要尋找靈感時，我更喜歡留在一個舒適和安靜的地方，就是我的家，在這裡不會受其他人影響而我能夠獨處，進入自己的世界，想法不停湧現然後開始繪畫。有時候，我也喜歡跟一兩個好友，去吉隆坡或家鄉古晉的咖啡館坐坐，隨心地聊聊鎖事都能帶給了我不同的啟發。是甚麼令你投身時裝界？其實我也不太記得是什麼時候開始為自己製作衣服。很多年前，我開始從媽媽的裁縫朋友裡，取得剩布為洋娃娃製作衣服；而在我念中學時，我最好成績的科目就是美術了! 告訴我們一件關於你的與眾不同的事情。我是左撇子! 設計及製作可持續時裝的過程中，你最享受的是甚麼？在參加「衣酷適再生時尚設計」前，我未曾設計過可持續時裝，所以參加比賽是非常寶貴的經驗。我最喜歡運用零廢棄設計技術，能夠看見布料將毫不浪費下造成新設計是非常有趣。

I think sustainable fashion is only at the beginning of its real potential and I want to be a sustainable fashion designer in order to experiment, discover and share its unique aspects with others around the world.’

「對我來說，可持續時裝是表達自我的方式。能夠在創作服裝的同時保護環境，感覺十分奇妙。作為年輕並熱衷的設計師，我很希望感受到自己的作用。可持續時裝是一個挑戰，而我喜歡解決問題，與我的性格十分脗合。我認為可持續時裝只是處於其潛質的開端，我希望成為可持續時裝設計師，去實驗、發現及跟世界各地的人分享它獨特之處。」 Kévin is currently studying Fashion Design Womenswear at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, UK.

Who or what is your fashion inspiration? My creative input always comes from finding beauty in the dirtiest, weirdest things that I then mix with a subtle touch of humour. For example, one of my favourite projects was inspired by organs and veins mixed with the Korean pop girlband Girl’s Generation.

你的時裝靈感從甚麼或誰人而來？我的創作靈感通常從最髒最奇怪的東西中找到美麗之處，再加一抹幽默感。例如我最喜歡的其中一個項目的靈感是來自內臟及血管，以及韓國女子組合 Girl’s Generation。

Where do you go to get inspired? My sources of inspiration are never predictable for me. Inspiration can come from anywhere and this pushes me to stay on my toes. I spend hours walking around London to find inspiration and it usually comes from the places that I expect the least. What made you get into fashion? I got into fashion through the endless hours I spent playing with my sister and her dolls. I come from a tiny conservative village in Switzerland where boys and girls stick to their gender role expectations. However, as a creative child I spent most of my time around girls whom I used as my real life dolls! As a result, fashion is how I’ve chosen to express myself since my childhood. Tell us one unusual fact about yourself. I cannot taste some flavours as I have a geographic tongue. What have you enjoyed most about designing and making sustainable fashion garments? I enjoy seeing peoples’ impressions when they interact with my fabric manipulation samples, which are very aesthetically appealing and very tactile. People are impressed when I say that my pieces were weaved and constructed using Swiss army blankets and polyethylene, particularly Swiss army soldiers and colonels as they would have never thought that their blankets could have such a unique second life.

你從哪裡尋找靈感？我的靈感來源難以預料。靈感可以從任何地方湧現，所以我總是不斷走訪。我會花上數小時在倫敦街頭尋找靈感，而靈感總在最意想不到的地方出現。是甚麼令你投身時裝界？小時候我多數陪伴著我的妹妹玩洋娃娃。我來自瑞士的小村落中，在那裡男女都謹守其性別崗位。但作為一個創意豐富的小孩，我大部份時間都伴在女孩子身邊，她們就是我現實生活中的真人版洋娃娃！所以自小開始，時裝就成了自我表達方式。告訴我們一件關於你的與眾不同的事情。由於我有地圖舌（即遊走性舌炎），所以我嚐不到某些味道。設計及製作可持續時裝的過程中，你最享受的是甚麼？我享受看到別人與布料樣版互動時的反應。我的設計充滿美感和觸感，當他們知道是用瑞士軍用被及聚乙烯塑膠編織及製作而來的，他們都很驚訝。特別是瑞士軍人，因為他們從沒想過他們用過的被鋪能有這樣獨特的新生命。

‘I’m African and I was raised with two cultures and so it’s important for me to give back to my country what it gave to me. I want to do my best to help sustainable development, including sustainable fashion. This is because sustainable fashion creates jobs, conserves natural resources and thereby creates a closer relationship between politicians and citizens. An old French proverb says, ‘Everything is good in the pig’. This means when you kill a pig everything can be used and there is no waste. It’s the same for fashion. There is no waste, just fabrics awaiting a second wind to become an exceptional piece. Modern fashion needs this type of sustainable idea.’

「我是非洲人，自小在兩種文化影響下成長。我希望能盡我所能回饋國家，著手幫助可持續發展，包括可持續時裝。為什麼？因為可持續時裝創造就業機會，保護自然資源，進而促進政治家和公民之間更密切的關係。法國諺語有云：『 Everything is good in the pig』，意思指一頭豬無一不是寶，統統都能物盡其用，沒有任何浪費。時裝亦然，所有布料都在等待被設計師加以運用，變成華衣美服，綻放光芒。現代時裝正正需要這種可持續發展理念。」 Noëlla is currently working as a junior fashion designer while developing her own brand, Norst. She has an Environment and Fashion Design degree from École de Condé in Nancy, France. Noëlla draws on the mythological Chinese icon Nuwa, a half-woman and half-snake Goddess, for inspiration for her The EcoChic Design Award 2014/15 collection. Noëlla used the sustainable design techniques of up-cycling and reconstruction onto her textile waste source, comprising leftover African textiles and end-of-roll textiles sourced from French markets and secondhand clothing. The result is a collection that includes asymmetric and sleeveless designs, which are unified by a wide colour palette. Noëlla 目前是一名初級時裝設計師，並正在建立她的個人品牌 Norst。她畢業於法國南錫孔德學院 ( École de Condé ) 的環境及時裝設計系。 Noëlla 的「衣酷適再生時尚設計」2014/15 參賽系列，靈感來自中國神話中半人半蛇的女神

Who or what is your fashion inspiration? People! Maybe it’s cliché to say that but my first inspiration is the people I meet during my travels in Africa, Asia and France. I love observing and trying to understand why and how people choose and wear their clothing. I also collect many pictures. Then I imagine a story and I begin to design. I really like the artist Walter Van Beirendonck’s work as it’s bizarre, colourful and so interesting. Finally, a dance movement, a romantic movie or music can inspire me.

你的時裝靈感從甚麼或誰人而來？人！也許這麼說比較陳腔濫調，不過我的首個靈感的確來自我於非洲、亞洲及法國旅行時遇到的人。我喜歡觀察及嘗試理解人們為甚麼及如何選擇及穿著他們的衣物。另外我也習慣收集不同圖片，然後幻想一個故事，再開始設計。我十分喜歡藝術家 Walter Van Beirendonck，因為他的作品奇異、繽紛，十分有趣。最後，一個舞姿、一齣電影或一首樂曲都能帶給我靈感。

Where do you go to get inspired? My parents’ house in North West France, which is a peaceful and relaxing little paradise, is perfect to get inspired and be creative. Otherwise, I love visiting places, like Georges Pompidou Center and Champs Elysées, and strolling along Parisian streets. There are so many different people with such different looks, opinions and religions and so the street itself is a wonderful and inspirational scene. What made you get into fashion? When I was younger, I liked to see the joy and the reaction from people when they chose the right outfit or shoes and so fashion has always intrigued me. I realised that fashion would be my salvation because it was not evident to me before how else to express my creativity in a family where my parents are doctors. With time and patience I followed my own journey. Tell us one unusual fact about yourself. I create miracles in a short time and I’m really determined when I want something! For example, for The EcoChic Design Award I only saw the announcement five days before the competition’s deadline, which led to five days and nights of creating and submitting. This is not the first time I have been in this kind of situation. It’s funny, I must have a big lucky star looking over me.

你從哪裡尋找靈感？我父母住在法國的西北部，那裡是個平靜悠閒的人間小天堂，帶給我很多靈感和創意。另外，我亦喜歡到處遊覽，像龐畢度中心、香榭里舍大道等，或是慢步巴黎街頭。不同的人，不同的外表、意見及信仰，大街小巷本身就是一個奇妙和啟發人心的地方。是甚麼令你投身時裝界？自小我已喜歡看到人選對了衣物或鞋子時的喜悅和反應，所以時裝一直讓我感興趣。我的父母都是醫生，我並不懂得怎樣向家人表達我的創意，所以我認為時裝是我的救贖。時間和耐性令我走出自己的路。告訴我們一件關於你的與眾不同的事情。我能於短時間創造出奇蹟，而且想得到某些東西時，我會無比堅毅！比如說，我在「衣酷適再生時尚設計」截止報名前五天才看到廣告，於是我在五天內以繼夜地創作及提交。這不是我第一次遇到的事了，真有趣，我肯定幸運之神一直眷顧著我。設計及製作可持續時裝的過程中，你最享受的是甚麼？我十分享受利用時裝廢料進行創作，例如我們通常會丟棄的剩布及損壞了的紡織品。為時裝廢料賦以新生命和新機會給我很大的滿足感，亦給我機會利用平時少用的新物料作試驗，像我那塊舊的塑膠檯布。

What have you enjoyed most about designing and making sustainable fashion garments? I really enjoy using fashion waste, such as end-of-roll and damaged textiles, which we normally throw away. But giving fashion waste a second life and a new chance is very pleasing. It also allowed me to experiment with using new materials, which I don’t usually use in my work, like my old PVC table cover.

‘Fashion is both a fun and necessary industry that brings joy and personality to a lot of people. However, the production of fashion has exploded rapidly and many people are not aware of the effects that our everyday life and fashion consumption has on millions of people, animals and on the environment. I want to be a sustainable fashion designer to inspire people to live a more conscious life without compromise. For me, this means using our resources in the best way possible and not compromising the future generation’s ability to meet their needs.’

「時裝是個必需而充滿樂趣的行業，為很多人帶來歡樂及風格。可是，時裝生產正急促爆炸，而很多人都不察覺我們的日常生活及時裝消費對數百萬人、動物及環境的影響。我希望成為可持續時裝設計師，啟發他人在不妥協的大前提下，選擇一個更負責任的生活方式。對我來說，這代表著以最好的方法善用資源，不會利用未來的能力來滿足今日的需要。」

Who or what is your fashion inspiration? I’m very inspired by Alexander McQueen and the creative world he created. I’m also inspired by historic eras, in particular the Victorian and Edwardian eras.

你的時裝靈感從甚麼或誰人而來？我深受 Alexander McQueen 及他創造的創意世界所啟發，亦從歷史世代中得到不少靈感，特別是維多利亞及愛德華時代。

Where do you go to get inspired? My favourite places for inspiration are nature and museums. When I’m in nature, I take lots of pictures of what I find interesting and unique and I keep these photos for future inspiration. What made you get into fashion? When I first started fashion school I found the whole industry very superficial. But when I learned about the work behind a collection and the issues the industry faces, I realised that the fashion industry was a place where I could develop my creative skills and passion and at the same time try to make a difference. Tell us one unusual fact about yourself. Before deciding to go into fashion, I wanted to be an archeologist or cartoonist. Between studying at two different fashion schools I spent a year in the Danish military where I learnt a lot about my own abilities. What have you enjoyed most about designing and making sustainable fashion garments? I’ve really enjoyed the challenge of the work itself. In every sustainable fashion project I do, I am improving my skillset because I cannot think conventionally and so I have to find other creative solutions. Working in fashion from a sustainable angle is what keeps me driven. You could say it is my way of trying to change the world and making it better.

你從哪裡尋找靈感？我最喜歡到大自然及博物館尋找靈感。我拍下很多有關大自然的照片，把我認為有趣及獨特的都記錄下來，將來作靈感之泉。是甚麼令你投身時裝界？剛進時裝學院的時候，我覺得時裝很表面，但當我了解到一個系列背後的刻苦工作，以及時裝界面對的問題時，我發現時裝界會是一個能夠讓我發展創意及熱情的地方，並嘗試改變它的不足之處。告訴我們一件關於你的與眾不同的事情。決定投身時裝界之前，我曾希望當考古學家或漫畫家。在兩間不同的時裝學院修讀期間，我在丹麥軍隊待了一年，對自己的能力認識更深。設計及製作可持續時裝的過程中，你最享受的是甚麼？我十分享受創作過程中面對的挑戰。每開始一個新的可持續時裝項目都是我進步的機會，因為我不能依傳統的思路去思考，所以必須尋找其他創新的解決方法。在可持續的角度從事時裝業給予我很大的動力，可以說是我嘗試改變世界、令世界變得更美好。

C H E N From runway model to role model

從模特兒變成模範榜樣

onnie Chen is a wanted woman. The face of Ralph Lauren, Shanghai Tang and Saks Fifth Avenue, Bonnie’s striking image is plastered across billboards and is printed on magazine covers worldwide. A former China rhythmic champion, a psychology graduate from the University of Pennsylvania, and with various charity projects on the go, we simply can’t help being in love (and in awe) with Bonnie. Despite her jam-packed sparkling schedule of jetting from photoshoots to fashion shows from her bases in New York, Hong Kong and Nanjing, we managed to sit down with the fashion world’s darling during her The EcoChic Design Award 2014/15 finalists’ photoshoot at The Langham, Hong Kong. Here Bonnie, who is our The EcoChic Design Award 2014/15 Ambassador and one of the biggest Chinese personalities supporting sustainable fashion, shares with us her own wants.

陳碧舸( Bonnie Chen ) 是許多國際頂尖品牌如 Ralph Lauren，上海灘，Saks Fifth Avenue 的寵兒，這張漂亮面孔經常出現在國際雜誌封面和廣告板上。身為前中國藝術體操運動員，擁有賓夕法尼亞大學心理學系學位，同時肩負著出席各項慈善項目的任務，叫我們怎能不從心底裡艷羨她的天賦和善心。Bonnie 的時裝秀和拍攝工作排得密麻麻的，經常穿梭紐約，香港與南京之間，我們終於有機會與她在香港朗延酒店－「衣酷適再生時尚設計」2014/15 總決賽者時尚拍攝現場碰面，了解這位「衣酷適再生時尚設計」2014/15 大使在光鮮亮麗的時髦外貌背後，與我們分享她的可持續想法。

How and why did you become an Ambassador for The EcoChic Design Award? I heard about Redress and The EcoChic Design Award through my friend, Hong Kong stylist Denise Ho. Like me, we both play creative roles in stimulating consumers’ desire for fashion. Like her, I also want to use my fashion influence to send positive messages about sustainability and waste reduction to consumers because of my inner desires for a better fashion industry that’s less polluting. My desires are partly driven because of my psychology education, which equipped me with the intellectual framework and inquisitive tenacity to question the world around me and to act in areas where I feel passionate. How has working on the inside of the industry changed your view of sustainability? I’ve always valued sustainability in general. However, my interest in sustainability in the fashion industry increased since having worked on the inside of the industry as a model. Here, I’ve witnessed the continued

speeding up of the industry and with this a growing trend for fashion consumption, all of which contributes to clothing and textile wastage and enormous negative environmental impacts. Do fashion designers play an influential role in reducing textile waste? Since supporting Redress, I’ve discovered that designers influence around 80 to 90 percent of the environmental and economic impact of a product, which underlines how important designers are in driving the industry’s much-needed sustainability shift. This is why competitions like The EcoChic Design Award are so important because we need to educate emerging fashion designers to be more sustainable, whilst still designing stylishly. People often think that sustainable fashion can’t be stylish but looking at the garments around me today on the photoshoot, I’m seeing the opposite. There is no style-compromise when it comes to the finalists’ sustainable creations.

Feature

Growing up and living in China do you see an interest from Chinese people in sustainable fashion? I have witnessed a huge change in China’s environment. The air is now more polluted, we have scarce clean fresh water supplies and rising health issues, all of which seem to have been exasperated by China’s rampant manufacturing across many industrial sectors. Because of this, Chinese people are becoming more aware of the impacts surrounding pollution on their health and the environment; and they are hoping for change. I think the sustainable fashion agenda will only continue to grow in China and I hope to see some great emerging design talent coming from China in the competition this year. How do you embody sustainable values into your daily life? The longer I work as a model, the less desire I have to follow new fashion trends. I’m now a huge fan of vintage and secondhand clothes and I even launched my own secondhand clothing charity sale, called Star Bunny Love, to raise funds for autistic children in China. More and more people are attending my charity sales and are enjoying the growing trend of mixing new luxury with secondhand items. Through this experience, I ultimately believe that people working in fashion should use their influence in various ways and become role models to inspire consumers about how to value their clothing more.

你是怎樣和為什麼會成為「衣酷適再生時尚設計」的大使？我是透過香港造型師朋友 Denise Ho 而認識 Redress 以及「衣酷適再生時尚設計」。我們兩人同時在時裝界工作，透過自己的專業和創意激發消費者熱愛時尚。我們同樣希望以自己在業內的影響力，發放更多有關可持續時裝的正面訊息，教育消費者減少浪費，共同創建一個更美好，更少浪費的時裝業。求變的慾望某程度上源於受過心理學教育的影響，我所學習到的知識和對世界的好奇心驅使，一直推動我，在我熱愛的可持續時裝領域下求變。在時裝業內工作怎樣改變你對可持續發展的看法？我一直重視可持續發展。但我對時裝界的可持續發展越來越有興趣，是在我成為模特兒之後。在業內工作，我親眼見證了時裝業的急速發展和消費增長，不但造成時裝和紡織廢料的浪費，更對環境造成極大的負面影響。時裝設計師在減少紡織浪費上擔當著重要的角色嗎？自支持 Redress 的工作後，我明白到設計師的決定影響著產品對環境及經濟所造成的 80-90% 影響，這顯示出設計師在推動行業的可持續轉變，擔當著舉足輕重的角色。進一步證明了「衣酷適再生時尚設計」是非常重要，因為我們需要教育新晉時裝設計師在創出時尚設計的同時，兼顧可持續性。人們通常認為可持續時裝談不上時尚，但當我親眼看到總決賽者的入圍作品，我卻有了不一樣的看法，他們的設計絕同時兼具風格與可持續性。在中國成長，你認為中國人對於可持續時裝有興趣嗎？我親眼目睹了中國環境的巨大變化。嚴重空氣污染，缺乏清潔食水，人民的健康問題不斷上升，所有問題都源於中國不同工業的猖獗發展。正因如此，中國人越來越關注環境污染對健康造成的影響，而他們都希望改變。所以我認為可持續時裝會繼續在中國成長綻放，我希望在不久將來能看到更多中國新晉設計人才的良性競爭。你怎樣從日常生活中體現可持續價值？隨著我擔任模特兒的時間越久，我對於追隨潮流的慾望反而越來越少。我現在迷上了二手古著，更創立了二手衣服義賣活動「星星兔子和愛」來為中國自閉症兒童籌款。越來越多人參加我的慈善義賣，並享受將二手單品與奢侈品互相搭配。這次經驗令我深信不同人可以透過各自的工作和專業，利用自身的影響力並成為榜樣，激發更多消費者了解衣服背後的價值。人可以透過各自的工作和專業，利用自身的影響力並成為榜樣，激發更多消費者了解衣服背後的價值。 Photo Credit: Raul Docasar, Designer: Karen Jessen

DOUBLE WIN 雙重勝利 If one woman could change fashion’s patterns and perceptions, then Karen Jessen could be her. After storming to double victory at The EcoChic Design Award 2013 grand final and grabbing two coveted prizes, Germany’s Karen Jessen has since translated her sustainable designs and ideals into striking sustainable clothes, transforming millions of peoples’ perceptions - and reflections - about sustainable fashion. Karen’s ‘The EcoChic Design Award 2013 in partnership with Esprit’ first prize win gave her the opportunity of designing a sustainable collection for the brand. Following several months of collaborative and innovative design and production, her Recycled Collection by Esprit hit selected Esprit’s global shop floors and online in September 2014, allowing Karen to influence fashion consumers’ reflections from Causeway Bay to Copenhagen. Her second win saw her bag a special prize personally awarded by the renowned artist, Sandy Lam. She then tasked Karen to reconstruct her

Set against a backdrop of picturesque paddy fields and billowing bamboo, Louise experienced first-hand how John Hardy incorporates environmental and social sustainability into the core of their design, production and business philosophies. Louise was particularly motivated by John Hardy’s use of recycled metals within their luxurious, global brand. ‘I think it’s very inspiring because there are so many ways to incorporate this same recycling philosophy into the fashion industry. I now wish to improve my use of recycled fibres, as well as my recycled fabrics, in my future collections,’ she said.

A breeding ground for

SUSTAINABLE SUCCESS 成功孕育可持續時尚的搖籃 Words by Christina Dean 由丁潔絲撰寫 Photo Credit: Hong Kong Trade Development Council

rom modest beginnings - when sustainable fashion was considered a niche - we have now matured and with five competition cycles under our belt, we have now released a pool of enlightened designers into the

fashion industry. Since launching in Hong Kong in 2011, The EcoChic Design Award then expanded to include Asian and European designers. And along with its broadening geographic reach, we’ve also deepened our impact as we create an army of designers inspired to change the future of fashion. Through the competition’s educational outreach, we have reached thousands of emerging designers around the world, of which 55 became semi-finalists and finalists and with this the opportunity to become our alumni. We are witnessing how the competition is proving to be a breading ground for sustainable fashion innovation and now seeing the competition’s broader legacy deepen as our alumni’s visions and sustainable brands continue thriving. To grow this, we continue to work closely with our alumni by providing them with mentorships, internships, PR support and retail opportunities so that we foster their success - and ultimately the growth of sustainable fashion. Our alumni share our conviction that sustainable fashion can be a norm and not a niche as they confidently and creatively re-design waste out of the fashion industry. Their sustainable brand identities are born out of their desire to reduce textile waste, allowing them to put their hard-earned competition educational experience into action as they unleash their sustainable brands into the market. Each of their actions signifies a small but seismic shift in emerging designers’ DNA and each sketch or garment is proof of their cutting-edge creativity. Their actions are also reaching the mainstream fashion stage as collectively our alumni continue gaining exposure from Beijing to Brighton, wooing and wowing buyers, media and consumers alike. Many of our Hong Kong alumni have launched their own sustainable fashion brands, such as Janko Lam’s ‘Classics Anew’, Kelvin Wan’s ‘Wan & Wong Fashion’, Eric Wong’s ‘Absurd Laboratory’ and Angus Tsui´s namesake brand. Four of our Hong Kong alumni presented their sustainable brands to buyers at HKTDC Fashion Week A/W 2015 and collaborated with Yahoo Hong Kong on the sale of limited-edition up-cycled accessories. Several others have been featured on TV or contributed to high-profile fashion shoots in Asia’s top media publications, such as SCMP and Modern Weekly. Our alumni have taken center stage at fashion shows and exhibitions at London’s Estethica, Berlin’s the GREENshowroom, Brighton and Hong Kong Fashion Weeks and Beijing Design Week. Elsewhere, their designs are enjoying a bigger retail distribution - having hit top department stores around the world such as Beams, Joyce and Collette - along with a bigger fan base - even celebrities including Sandy Lam, Bonnie Chen and Eunis Chan have been spotted wearing them. Collectively, these sustainable success stories are proving the contagious and lasting legacy of the competition and they also demonstrate that sustainable fashion is becoming the norm.

“Our alumni are gaining exposure from Beijing to Brighton”

回望當初，在可持續時裝還被認為是個小眾潮流時，我們己經踏入第五屆比賽週期，經歷成長並擁有一班具潛能的設計師。自比賽於 2011 年首辦以來，「衣酷適再生時尚設計」已擴展至包括亞洲和歐洲設計師。隨著版圖擴展，比賽的影響亦不斷滲透，因比賽將一眾時裝設計師集合起來組成軍團，為時裝界未來打拼。透過比賽教育，我們接觸到過千名新晉設計師，其中 55 位成為準決賽者及總決賽者，最終成為歷屆參賽者。我們見證著比賽所引起的廣泛影響，歷屆參賽者正在蓬勃發展，證明這是孕育可持續時裝創意的重要搖籃。我們透過指導和實習計劃、公關支援及零售機會，繼續與歷屆參賽者緊密合作，培育和幫助他們在可持續時裝方面發展並取得成功。歷屆參賽者與我們同樣堅信可持續時裝能跳出小眾成為主流。他們以自信和創意，善用紡織廢料，重新設計時尚界的未來。歷屆參賽者親手建立可持續的品牌，表明了他們減少時尚浪費的願望，將從比賽中吸取的經驗轉化為實戰機會，讓他們發揮所長，將可持續品牌引入市場。每一個微小轉變其實影響深遠，每一幅草圖和作品，都是他們頂尖創意的證明。他們以行動打進主流時裝舞台，我們的歷屆參賽者從北京到布萊頓都取得曝光機會，得到買家，媒體和消費者的一致好評和愛戴。許多香港歷屆參賽者相繼推出個人可持續時裝品牌，如林春菊的 Classics Anew，溫嘉恆的 Wan & Wong Fashion，王偉駿的 Absurd Laboratory，徐逸

昇同名品牌 Angus Tsui。這四位歷屆參賽者於香港貿發局時裝週秋冬 2015 向買家展出可持續品牌，與雅虎香港合作推出限量升級再造飾品。其中幾位更登上電視大銀幕，曾被亞洲頂尖媒體南華早報和週末畫報報導。他們亦被展示於 Estethica ， GREENshowroom ，布萊頓時裝展和北京國際設計週的時裝舞台，他們的設計亦登陸在世界向地高級百貨公司，包括 Beams， Joyce ， Collette ，更成為一眾名人如林憶蓮、陳碧舸以至陳嘉容的焦點。一個個可持續發展的成功故事，不單證明比賽的影響力和傳奇性，同時以事實證明可持續時裝將會成為主流焦點。

elebrity artist Kary Ng is one of Hong Kong’s hottest stars. The youngest recipient ever to have earned a Commercial Radio Hong Kong music award at just 16 years of age, a member of several successful pop and rock bands with currently 12 albums under her belt, Kary continues to dominate the charts and hearts of Hong Kong and further afield. And now she turns the attention away from the charts and places the spotlight onto our alumni. Kary has chosen her favourite alumni from all our previous finalists and semi-finalists, the winner will reconstruct Kary’s own unwanted garments from her personal wardrobe into a ‘new’ stylish and sustainable garment. Why did you get involved in The EcoChic Design Award? I’ve always loved fashion yet I believe that as global citizens we should integrate our aspirations for a healthier environment into what we wear. As someone in the public eye there is a pressure to keep a fresh image and I wish I had opportunities to wear some of my favourite pieces more. It’s such a waste not to! This is why I want to work with my favourite The EcoChic Design Award Alumni so that together we can transform clothes that I no longer wear into a sustainable chic showcase!

吳雨霏一直是香港最炙手可熱的歌手及演員之一，十六歲已經成為香港商業電台音樂獎中最年輕的得主，曾成為數隊當紅的流行及搖滾樂隊的隊員，並出過十二張唱片大碟。在香港及海外，吳雨霏都佔據著流行榜及歌迷的心。現在她暫且把注意力投放到天橋上，從云云歷屆總決賽者及準決賽者之中選出其中一位，利用她不再穿的衣服升級再造，設計成型格而可持續的「新裝」。為甚麼你會支持「衣酷適再生時尚設計」？我一直熱愛時裝，但我深信作為地球一份子，我們追求時尚美學的同時，更應關注對健康環境的追求。作為公眾人物，我必須時刻保持嶄新的形象，所以很多我喜歡的衣物都無法多穿數遍，所以我希望與我欣賞的「衣酷適再生時尚設計」歷屆參賽者合作，把我不再穿的衣物轉化為「新」裝，盡顯可持續時尚! 你在日常生活中如何融入可持續價值？在時裝方面，我盡量避免置新裝，我媽媽亦會幫我把舊衣捐贈。我認為在香港把可持續方式融入生活並不容易。香港忙碌、節奏快，講求的是方便快捷。不過我認為大部份香港人現在已注意到可持續問題。不過我認為大部份香港人現在已更關注可持續問題。

How do you embody sustainable values in your daily life? When it comes to fashion, I try not to buy a lot of new clothes and my mother always helps me to donate my old clothes. I think sometimes living sustainably in Hong Kong can be hard because Hong Kong is such a hectic, fast paced city and everything here is about convenience. But I think the broader Hong Kong population has sustainability in mind now.

NEED TO KNOW 「衣酷適再生時尚設計」須知 The steps we take to create the platform that makes sustainable fashion the norm and not the niche.

設計師可以通過零廢棄、升級再造和重新構造的可持續設計技術，減少和重用紡織廢料。推廣這些設計技術，除了為設計師提供創造性的好處之外，同時達到對廣泛的環境，經濟和社會效益。

Highlighting textiles’ wasted opportunities

廢棄紡織品的無限機會 It is estimated that the fashion industry produces 150 billion new garments per year and approximately 15% of textiles intended for clothing ends up on the cutting room floor. Meanwhile, globally consumers discard billions of clothes into landfills every year. This rampant disposal of textiles results in huge

據估計，時裝界每年生產一千五百億件新成衣，而約有 15% 的紡織品最終被浪費於剪裁車間的地上。與此同時，全球消費者每年將數以十億計的衣服丟棄到垃圾堆填區。

根據我們於 2013 年的調查顯示，設計師表示他們對可持續時裝有強烈興趣，95% 的設計師表明他們想學習更多有關可持續時裝的知識。與此同時，普遍設計師缺乏有關如何減少其產品對環境影響的知識和技巧。

這種猖獗處理紡織品的方式造成極大浪費。浪費的除了紡織廢料，還有製造紡織品所需要的天然資源，以及紡織品中蘊藏的設計師創意、對環境經濟和社會的好處，一切都被白白浪費掉。

Shining the spotlight on sustainability

綻放可持續光茫 Finally, we give our cutting-edge designers a unique platform to change the pattern of fashion. We present our finalists’ collections alongside some of the best in fashion at HKTDC Hong Kong Fashion Week. We also create a collaborative route to get their sustainable designs onto hangers and rails, and into the hearts and wardrobes of consumers around the world.

最後，我們為設計師提供獨特平台以改變時尚格局。在香港貿發局香港時裝節展出頂尖時裝的同時，我們向公眾展示總決賽者的參賽系列，為他們的將來繪畫出路線圖。將可持續設計掛上衣架、放到貨架，並進入世界各地消費者的衣櫥，在他們心中留下刻骨銘心的印象。
