Gao Qing Zi was a semi-finalist of the Redress Design Award 2017 and Hong Kong Best Prize winner. She holds a degree in Fashion and Textile design at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and currently studies Fashion Design and Society at Parsons School of Design.

Fashion does not have to be an environmental burden and I believe positive change is happening. As a designer, I want to create fashion that is sustainable and serves every individual, as opposed to creating high end labels of excessiveness to serve a privileged few. - Gao Qing Zi

Redress Design Award Collection

For her Redress Design Award (formerly the EcoChic Design Award) application, Qing Zi utilises up-cycling and reconstruction techniques to transform textile swatches, damaged textiles and secondhand clothing. She is inspired by the fear of ageing by young generations, and has a desire to demonstrate that fashion sense and style is timeless.
