REDRESS DESIGN AWARD 2025 FINALISTS PHOTOSHOOT
Celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Redress Design Award, our ‘Rising to the Challenge’ photoshoot captures Redress’ mission to accelerate fashion’s circularity. Currently only 0.3% of the fashion industry is circular¹—but we continue to believe in the positive power of fashion, and these images shine a light on the game-changers turning waste into worth.
