In a groundbreaking move towards sustainable fashion, Tommy Hilfiger takes the helm as the primary partner for the renowned Redress Design Award 2024 – the world’s premier sustainable fashion design competition.
The Redress Design Award extends a global invitation to emerging designers, urging them to showcase their cutting-edge circular and sustainable fashion collections. The competition is currently open, accepting applications from aspiring designers until March 15.
As part of this impactful partnership, the first prize winner receives a unique opportunity to collaborate with Tommy Hilfiger’s design team on a high-impact sustainable retail project. This collaboration aims to provide invaluable industry experience, empowering the winner to elevate their expertise in sustainable fashion.
This strategic move aligns seamlessly with Tommy Hilfiger’s steadfast commitment to sustainability, deeply embedded in the brand’s DNA. With a focus on fashion that ‘Wastes Nothing and Welcomes All,’ Tommy Hilfiger leads in exploring innovative circular materials and manufacturing methods. The brand is dedicated to transforming textile waste into premium pieces, contributing to a more sustainable future.
Furthermore, Tommy Hilfiger actively works towards enhancing inclusivity in the fashion industry through diverse programs, partnerships, and cutting-edge product creation.
Dr. Christina Dean, founder of Redress, underlines the urgency of addressing the environmental impact of the fashion industry, stating, “Fashion is one of the world’s most polluting industries. Left unabated, pollution and waste are set to worsen. We urgently need to accelerate circular fashion, the key to letting fashion thrive without costing the earth.”
Operating from their Hong Kong headquarters with an Asia-centric focus, Redress aims to rectify and revolutionize the fashion industry by collaborating with visionary fashion brands and exceptional designer talent, paving the way for the fashion industry of the future.
