Calling all emerging fashion designers: We challenge you to design a contemporary collection for a modern, fashion-forward adult, using waste textiles and guided by circular design strategies.

For this first stage of application, only 3 outfit sketches are required, and they may be designs that have already been made and debuted. Plus, just by entering, you get the chance to be part of our incredible Redress Alumni Network receiving ongoing career support in sustainable fashion.

Applications are open from now until 17 April 2026. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

The Redress Design Award is supported by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA) of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as the Lead Sponsor.
