Redress Alum Pei-Wen Jin was selected from a shortlist of 24 Redress Alumni to be part of an Artist-at-Sea mission last summer, embarking on a six-day scientific expedition focused on the pressing issue of microplastics. Working alongside other artists and marine scientists aboard the research vessel Falkor (too), Pei-Wen’s journey in the Pacific near the Panama Canal was part of the Ocean Rising initiative with Schmidt Ocean Institute and Nekton, which connects culture with the ocean.
Redress has been invited by France-based NGO, Universal Love to showcase the works of 11 Redress Alumni designers from 9 regions around the world who have been challenged to transform sporting material waste into parures — pieces of wearable art — to be displayed during the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games this summer.

How does Hong Kong's upcoming Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Charging Scheme affect fashion?
While Redress works to end fashion waste, the MSW scheme aims to reduce waste in general by charging citizens for disposal to landfill, making it a last resort. According to government statistics, the recycling rate of waste textiles was only about 11% in 2022*.
Redress collaborated with local community members and small businesses on Lantau Island last month to produce the island’s first ‘Spring Closet Clearout’ event on beautiful Pui O Beach. With a neighbourly atmosphere, and plenty of lively swapping, selling, and shopping, the event was a success. Residents are already enthusiastically planning for the next one!

Hong Kong’s largest clothing consumer awareness campaign returns May 2024 with the theme ‘Your Clothes, Our Planet’! Expanding with new activities with a unique focus on storytelling, Get Redressed Month invites Hong Kong consumers to rethink the relationship between themselves, clothing, and the environment, and discover more sustainable ways to embrace fashion in their daily lives.
The VF Circular Design Challenge brought together emerging fashion designers with industry professionals, disrupting an everyday fashion item by applying circular thinking. Redress challenged senior fashion students from the Shanghai International College of Fashion and Innovation (SCF College), Donghua University, in collaboration with VF Corporation to “hack” a classic hoodie with new design ideas and solutions for circularity — all within just four hours.
Highlights from recent workshops partaken by our Redress Design Award 2023 Finalists are now available as educational case studies on the Redress Academy, our free online resource library on circular fashion topics. Watch our videos to learn more about identifying three circular values — design, production, and consumer — used to keep their outfits in use, and loved, for longer.
This past October, we invited everyone to help raise awareness of the alarming fashion waste crisis with one simple action: wearing clothes that are “as good as new”. Thanks to all companies, schools, and members from the public who participated in our first ever ‘Wear Secondhand Day’ consumer campaign!
