The Redress Design Award 2026
Magazine

While much of today’s imagery is moving towards AI, we take the opposite direction with this cycle’s creative theme of sensory storytelling, celebrating the tactile reality of circular fashion: its textures, techniques, and perfect imperfections.

Features

Experience the world’s leading sustainable fashion design competition! Join our 8 Finalists from around the world as they showcase their sustainable runway collections and be inspired by a display from select Redress Alumni brands.
