CIRCULAR FASHION FOR DESIGNERS AND FASHION ACADEMIA

We want to redress – i.e. “to remedy and set right” – fashion. So we work at the source of fashion, with designers who have the power to redesign the industry from the inside out.

  1. It is estimated that 80% of a product’s environmental impact is determined at the design stage1, where decisions on everything from materials and trims to repairability, longevity and recyclability are laid down.

  2. Emerging fashion designers are entering an unsustainable and wasteful industry. Around 100 billion apparel items are produced per year, approximately doubling from 2006, and the majority of this is landfilled or burned within one year of production.2

We believe in the positive power of fashion. That’s why to date, we have:

  1. Educated 125,000+ people through our online courses and resources at the Redress Academy

  2. Directly reached 20,000+ students through educational events

  3. Partnered with 178 Universities globally
