Behind the Scenes
With ‘Reflection’ as the theme, the editorial photoshoot of the Redress Design Award 2023 honours the power that designers have in creating fashion more sustainably. The photoshoot aesthetics evoke the pressing need for reflection — on the rising textile waste crisis contributing to global climate change, and on the future of fashion as imagined by the waste-reducing designs of the competition Finalists.
