Redress Design Award 2025 – Ecodesign Challenge with TAL

Redress judge and supermodel Bonnie Chen followed our Redress Design Award 2025 Finalists around for a tour of a TAL Apparel garment factory in Vietnam, where the designers discovered first-hand how innovative, thoughtful production can aid sustainable design and minimise waste. There, they were challenged to reconstruct a defective shirt into a commercially viable semi-formal garment for the Redress Alumni brand, Jann Bungcaras—a task intentionally aligned with the European Union’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which aims to improve products’ circularity.
