🧶 Announcing the Redress Design Award 2026 Semi-finalists (1/3) 🏅
Meet some of the emerging talents leading the charge against fashion’s waste crisis worldwide.
🇩🇪 Representing Germany, Jon Liesenfeld's collection, ‘The youth lacks its master’, explores the declining bond between young and old, with looks that fuse flawed leather with deadstock jersey.
🇭🇰 Representing Hong Kong, .looks Jasmine Cheuk's collection, ‘Silent Current’, is rooted in Hong Kong’s iconic ‘drying laundry’ scenery and uses a threadless ‘interlaced hole-link’ system for disassembly.
🇦🇹 Representing Austria, David Schuch's collection, ‘Handstraußregel’, innovates with a handmade leather-like biomaterial that fuses the naturally shed wool of non-farm animals with native fruits and alginate.
🇬🇧 Representing the United Kingdom, Holly Shih's collection, ‘Threads of Time’, reimagines the rigid geometry of Taiwanese iron window grilles as fluid, wearable structures.
🇨🇳 Representing the Chinese Mainland, Yi Ding's collection, ‘Faded Paper’, transforms Chinese paper-cutting from a symbol of patriarchal control into a statement of strength through 3D suspended jacquard knitwear and zero-waste paper-cutting.
