redress Design Award Collection
Yanghun’s Redress Design Award collection, ‘Her Wardrobe’, shows an alternative to the typical clean and organisational nature of Korean society as reflected by his girlfriend’s meticulous wardrobe. Yanghun’s approach to sustainability is showcased in his creation of a unique fabric made from 100% rPET recycled polyester that can mimic different types of textiles such as denim, fur, and stripes. He uses zero-waste patterning to cut his garments, including coats, jackets and skirts in classic silhouettes for timeless wear.
