The Redress Design Award 2025, the world’s leading sustainable fashion design competition, is now open for applications worldwide!

Emerging fashion designers with less than four years of experience in the fashion industry are invited to showcase their skills in sustainable fashion design and compete for exciting prizes. Finalists will win an expenses-paid trip to Hong Kong for an educational bootcamp culminating into the Grand Final Fashion Show, where the winners will be announced.

2025 marks a major milestone for the Redress Design Award, celebrating the 15th edition of the global competition (previously the Ecochic Design Award). This exciting edition also, however, underscores a stark reality — that fashion production continues to increase in scale, depleting planetary resources and creating unsustainable amounts of waste.

Join us in rethinking fashion by designing with circularity, a system where clothing is made and used in a closed loop. The circular model combats the fashion industry’s environmental issues by eliminating waste and pollution at every stage, from design to consumer use, while conserving natural resources.

Applicants to the Redress Design Award gain exclusive access to the Redress Circular Fashion Design Course, which includes a new course module on ‘Design for Zero Waste’. The free, online self-study resources are available in English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
