[12 August 2020, Hong Kong] – Environmental NGO, Redress, reveals the signature looks of the Redress Design Award 2020 Finalists in advance of the 10th anniversary digital Grand Final on 3 September where winners will be announced online to a global audience. The earth elements-themed photoshoot, styled and shot by two leading Hong Kong creatives Kieran Ho and Karl Lam, presents five womenswear and five menswear finalists showcasing a varied range of creative solutions to transform fashion’s waste. The Redress Design Award is supported by Create Hong Kong (CreateHK) of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as the lead sponsor.
In early September, the finalists will face an international panel of judges - among returning judges Christopher Raeburn, Orsola de Castro and Susie Lau - to present their full four piece capsule in a bid to win their prize category. The Redress Design Award 2020 Menswear Prize - a first for the competition - is sponsored by iconic outdoor brand Timberland and the Redress Design Award 2020 Womenswear Prize is sponsored by award-winning up-cycled fashion brand, The R Collective. Both prizes provide the opportunity to winning designers to work on a sustainable capsule collection for retail.
