REDRESS DESIGN AWARD 2017 AMBASSADOR

Sofia Wakabayashi is an international model based out of Singapore and Hong Kong. She kick-started her Asian modelling career as a contestant on the first cycle of Asia’s Next Top Model, and recently won the Asia Model Star Award 2016. Sofia has a political science degree from UCLA and previously worked in the tech industries. 

I couldn’t be more excited about my new Ambassador role for the EcoChic Design Award! I modelled for the grand final last year where I was first introduced to Redress’ work. Since then, I have learned more about the impact the fashion industry is having on our world’s environment, economy, and devastatingly on fellow human lives. As a living and breathing poster girl for fashion, I feel the need to help spread awareness on these issues and use my voice for something bigger than myself, and the brands I work for. I’ve always believed that true change begins at an individual level. With me and with you - we are the voice of the generations to come.
