New Academy case studies and videos on circularity challenges

Highlights from recent workshops partaken by our Redress Design Award 2023 Finalists are now available as educational case studies on the Redress Academy, our free online resource library on circular fashion topics. Watch our videos to learn more about identifying three circular values — design, production, and consumer — used to keep their outfits in use, and loved, for longer.

Designers have a real opportunity to partner with manufacturers and other industry partners to design out waste within the supply chain and through to consumer use. In the Circular Redesign Challenge with TAL Apparel, we challenged our Finalists to create an outfit using defective shirts, ​​inspired by an exclusive circular design collection from The R Collective and Alumni brand Garcia Bello.

Beyond the garment itself, designing for circularity also includes communicating your brand story to build emotional attachment with consumers to encourage longevity. In the Customer Experience Challenge with sustainable luxury retail packaging experts Delta Global, participants were asked to construct a conceptual packaging solution with consideration for longevity of the product and consumer engagement.
