Redress, the environmental NGO working to reduce fashion’s waste, has produced an editorial photoshoot offering a glimpse into the upcoming runway looks from the finalists of the Redress Design Award 2022, which will be showcased at the Grand Final Fashion Presentation on 7 September, to be held at ArtisTree in Hong Kong and livestreamed to the world.
This October, we’re running a series of fun and educational activities across Hong Kong for local and international schools, companies, and clubs, all focused on shifting attitudes about clothing consumption towards reducing fashion waste and the environmental impacts of our choices. Our events are available bilingually in English and/or Chinese.
Redress is pleased to announce that our Takeback Programme has resumed after a brief hiatus, and you can once again drop your unwanted clothes in one of our 25 conveniently-located collection boxes across Hong Kong for reuse and recycling.
Redress is proud to unveil new improvements to the Redress Academy, our free multilingual online resource with in-depth content on circular fashion design topics, created for designers, educators, industry professionals and anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of responsible fashion design.
We are delighted to announce the 10 finalists of the Redress Design Award 2022, the world’s largest sustainable fashion design competition. The finalists, representing eight different regions, outshone hundreds of applicants worldwide for the chance to bring their competition designs to life in time for the Grand Final Fashion Presentation in Hong Kong in mid-September, where the winners will be declared.
Our community clothes-sorting sessions have resumed, and we need your help! We are currently facing a 7-tonne backlog of unsorted clothing in our warehouse storage, waiting to be recirculated to our charity partners and other recycling channels. Visit HandsOn Hong Kong to sign up for volunteering and help us tackle this pile-up!
Redress is delighted to launch today, ‘Yoyo and the World’s Coolest T-Shirt,’ a new comic book produced to help young children change their mindset toward fashion waste through prevention and transformation of fashion waste into useful products. In Hong Kong, 170 tonnes of clothing are sent to landfill every day, a waste of the labour and natural resources to produce these garments.
Redress is honoured to be awarded the Hong Kong Sustainability Award from The Hong Kong Management Association for 2020/21, in recognition of our mission to educate and empower the fashion industry and consumers to reduce clothing's negative environmental impact by shifting to circular solutions.
Get Redressed Month is an annual campaign that shines a spotlight on the issue of clothing waste. Our signature events encourage Hongkongers to rethink how they buy, use and dispose of clothing. In October 2021, thousands of companies, clubs, schools and individuals across Hong Kong chose to give their unwanted clothes a new life by participating in Hong Kong’s largest clothing drive, and some went even further and gave secondhand clothing a try too.
