redress Design Award Collection

For her collection, Amy was inspired by the artwork of Sui Jianguo, the contemporary Chinese artist who uses pop references to create vibrant modern works with a throwback to retro culture. She combined zero-waste, up-cycling and reconstruction design techniques into her knitted collection by unravelling and cutting secondhand garments and surplus textiles into yarns, sourced from friends, local flea markets and textile stores.
