Redress Design Award Collection

Molly’s Redress Design Award collection, ‘Cloth: Narratives’, is inspired by the stories embedded within used textiles. Her collection features garment pieces cut from repurposed bed sheets, dyed with organic kitchen waste and screen printed with natural handmade inks. Molly also designs with zero waste, incorporating excess material from the design process into the appliquéd textile. The garments are reversible and can be worn trans-seasonally, adding to their versatility.
