We challenge you to design a contemporary collection for a modern, fashion-forward adult, using waste textiles and guided by circular design strategies.
For this competition, you must use waste textiles in impactful ways, reflecting on opportunities for reproducibility and scalability. Find creative solutions for fashion’s waste, starting with identifying and sourcing waste textiles. All of your designs must use textile waste and/or textiles created from waste, defined as follows for this competition:
Textile swatches, cut-and-sew textiles, end-of-rolls, sampling yardage, damaged textiles, and secondhand textiles. Unsold clothing, clothing samples, and secondhand clothing may also count as textile waste if you can justify that they would not be easy to sell or reuse in their current state.
textiles made from regenerated fibres, composed of a minimum 50% of regenerated content. This can include for example recycled cotton, recycled wool, food industry byproducts, or reclaimed plastic
For this competition, you must consider how your design decision will impact the entire lifecycle of the product by using key circular design strategies to go from linear to circular practices:
To deepen your understanding of the circular fashion system and maximise your chances of success in the competition, we strongly recommend you take the Redress Circular Fashion Design Courses available to you free of charge. You can also learn more with our Redress Educational Resources.
Students: we encourage you to share with your educators the resources available to them to support classroom learning on circular design.
You may submit three outfits that have already been made and debuted. The remaining outfit MUST be a design that has never been shown to the public. Only 3 outfit sketches are required for the first stage open application.
For Grand Final judging, there will be an additional category for execution, where Finalists must demonstrate their four physical outfits were made to the highest standards.
