The Digital Up-Cycling Challenge with TAL and Browzwear

Throughout the weeks leading up to the Redress Design Award 2020 Grand Final, and competing from their homes around the globe, our finalists participated in a series of educational expert talks, and virtual challenges to learn about all aspects of the sustainable fashion industry, gaining real industry insights and exclusive access to  leading experts.  

First up was the Digital Up-cycling Challenge with TAL and Browzwear - a challenge promoting the importance and power of digital design and sampling in the design process to minimise waste.

The finalists were tasked to use digital design and sampling to demonstrate their up-cycling skills using Browzwear’s VStitcher 3D design software to provide design-manufacturing solutions  to address TAL’s Covid-19 related deadstock, piloting different design and production techniques for small-to-scalable solutions.

During this 48 hour challenge our finalists were split into three teams and had check-ins with members of the TAL and Browzwear teams to help support and guide them along the way. Finalists presented to our panel of judges - Roger Lee (CEO, TAL Group) and Sharon Lim (CEO and Co-founder, Browzwear) and our very own founder, Christina Dean. The winning team received a full year access to the Browzwear VStitcher software.
