Redress Design Award 2025
Congratulations to Redress for successfully organising the Redress Design Award 2025.
As one of the world’s leading sustainable fashion design competitions since 2011, the annual Redress Design Award has been playing a vital role in promoting the growth of circular fashion and increasing awareness among the public, while showcasing the creativity of emerging fashion designers and connecting them with global fashion businesses.
The Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA) is delighted to be the lead sponsor of the Redress Design Award once again, championing innovation that aligns creativity with sustainability. This unique global platform empowers fashion designers from around the world to showcase their creations. Over the past 15 years, the Award has cultivated more than 300 designers who have redefined sustainable fashion and continue to exemplify its impact, paving the way for the visionary cohort of 2025.
We are pleased to note that a total of 385 applications from diverse talent across 57 countries and regions have been received in this cycle. The outstanding finalists will shine at the Grand Final Fashion Show held in Hong Kong. As CCIDA actively promotes the development of arts, culture and creative sectors as industries under the industry-oriented principle, we look forward to collaborating closely with Redress to foster the further development of circular fashion in Hong Kong and beyond, bringing more business opportunities to our fashion designers.
Last but not least, I would like to congratulate all the finalists and winners, wishing you a prosperous future as you weave a sustainable path for fashion.
