Redress Design Award 2021 Semi-Finalist

Meet The Designer

In an era where eco-anxiety is on the rise, designers have an obligation to consciously drive a shift to restore the balance between planetary resources and the industry. Fashion weaves stories, and collections take time and love to develop and produce – that’s why it is imperative we reframe the way we value our garments by inspiring a slowing down of fashion’s cycles.

Redress Design Award Collection

Saskia’s Redress Design Award collection, ‘Epilogue’, is part response, part provocation, part celebration of upheaval, newfound change and challenged narrative that has been a by-product of the global disruption caused by the pandemic and our human and planetary need for rest; and the positive change this may bring as a result. Through intricate zero-waste pattern-making, Saskia combines damaged and industry surplus textiles with recycled textiles focusing on natural and low impact materials to create trans-seasonal and timeless pieces.
