Experience the thrills of the 2024 Grand Final Week

What a journey it’s been this Redress Design Award 2024 cycle! From the sustainable design challenges in Hanoi and Hong Kong, to the runway of the Grand Final Fashion Show, our Finalists enjoyed a fulfilling week in their educational bootcamp supported by our many generous partners.

This year, we were thrown for a loop with a typhoon impacting Hong Kong on the day of our Grand Final. But the show had to go on! Together with our teams backstage, we weathered the storm and presented an experience with an unforgettable movement of determination, creativity, and passion for sustainable fashion.

We’re grateful to TAL Group for supporting the ‘Low Waste Design Challenge’ at their apparel factory in Vietnam, Delta Global for supporting the ‘Packaging with Purpose Challenge’, fashion icon Janet Ma for styling our Finalists at The Redress Closet, Dash Living for accommodating our Finalists, Mondrian Hotel for accommodating our judges, Mott32 and Emmer Pizza for sponsoring food and beverages, and of course, our Lead Sponsor, the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA), for making it all possible.

Huge shout-outs to all who were able to reshape their plans, including our models, hair team from Davines, make-up team from MakeupBees, influencers who walked the runway, and venue at CENTRESTAGE, organised by CCIDA.

To top it all off, we concluded with a banger of an after-party at Soho House Hong Kong, supported by Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong. Our Finalists had to dash off to the airport directly after the show, but we're grateful for the chance to celebrate our success with an entourage of Redress Alumni, judges, and of course, our amazing Redress team.

Ultimately, this Grand Final Week has demonstrated that with determination and collaboration, our mission to create a circular future in fashion remains resilient—even in the face of a super typhoon.
