“Sustainability to me means finding ways to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Creating beautiful clothes should not have to come with the downside of polluting the planet.” – Nils Hauser

redress Design Award Collection

Nils’ Redress Design Award collection, ‘Ex Voto’, imagines outfits from a fictional lost city that was destroyed and rebuilt under mysterious circumstances. His designs include a range of multifunctional garments, including a vest that can be worn in four different variations, and a collar that can be folded up into a mask. For this collection Nils upcycles unique found materials including sofa upholstery fabric and nylon from an old family tent, and addresses low-impact materials and processes by using water-based printing paint on his garments.
