“Through my designs I like exploring new solutions for fashion that have the potential to change consumption behaviours, limit the negative environmental impacts of the fashion industry. I enjoy finding beauty in things that are odd and imperfect.” - Louise Lau

redress Design Award Collection

Louise’s Redress Design Award collection ‘A.D.H.D’ draws inspiration from her personal journey living with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. Through the use of zero-waste, upcycling and reconstruction techniques, she pieces together secondhand clothing, knitwear and suits, and industry surplus, damaged textiles and yarns in a textured contrasting palette of yellow and black, symbolising the coexistence of hyperactivity in a world of ‘normal’ people. Louise’s design philosophy is to always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect.
