redress Design Award Collection

Duy’s Redress Design Award collection, ‘Awaken’, is a tribute to South Vietnam’s ‘60s and ‘70s fashion era. His collection uses pre-consumer waste, surplus yardage, and leftover fabrics sourced from his school’s storage and his mother’s old production factory. The garments are free size and adjustable, with double-facing pocket designs on some pieces to be reversible for even more versatility. Duy uses zero-waste patterns where possible,  most of his pattern designs are large and rectangular, allowing for future upcycling and reconstruction. Basic styles allow for different ways of styling and Chinese knot details made with fabrics are recyclable.
