“As a designer, I have the opportunity to deliver strong messages of designing with what we have, cherishing our resources and creating a desirable collection.” – Ian Chang
For the Redress Design Award, Ian’s collection concept, ‘PILLOW CREW’, envisions upcycling IKEA bags into outerwear pieces including coats and jackets, insulated with pillow and blanket wadding to keep wearers warm and stylish in cool weather. Ian’s designs are influenced by streetwear, featuring oversized silhouettes, utility details, and logos from the IKEA bag strap.
