“Fast fashion produces too much waste. Designers must innovate with new production methods to build up the earth.” – Yu Wing Shan

For the Redress Design Award, Wing Shan’s collection concept, ‘Dare Reborn’, imagines a womenswear series made from upcycled household fabrics and secondhand clothes. The fabrics, including a quilt, would be dismantled and rebuilt into new structures, as well as naturally dyed with plants and rust water.
