At Redress we consider professional fashion design experience to mean:

* Professional experience: full-time, part-time, and freelance experience. Internships and fashion competition applications do not count towards professional experience. However, if you have been the recipient of a competition prize such as short-term working experience, brand collaboration, etc, this will be counted as professional experience.

* Fashion design experience: working in any subject related to fashion design, textile design, education in fashion & textile design.

If you are not sure about your eligibility before applying, feel free to email us at apply@redress.com.hk. Applicants may be required to submit their curriculum vitae to confirm their eligibility once they’ve applied.

No, you cannot apply. Only applicants with less than four years’ professional fashion design experience can apply. Applicants with over four years’ full-time, part-time, or freelance professional fashion design or textile design experience, or professional experience as a fashion or textile-related educator are not eligible to apply.

Yes, if you still have less than four years’ professional fashion design experience. However, you may only reapply if you have not previously won the first or second prize in past cycles of the Redress Design Award.

No, you may only submit one competition entry per cycle. Only your first application will be accepted, any other subsequent applications will be rejected.

Applicants can apply to the competition in English or Chinese. The application platform and guidelines are available only in English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese, and all applicants are required to use one of these three languages. Any other languages submitted will not be processed. 

A reasonable level of English is required for applicants as Semi-Finalists and Finalists to take part in a variety of activities including interviews, judging, and various Grand Final Week activities in Hong Kong, all of which will be conducted in English.

There is no fee to enter this competition. 

If you succeed in reaching the finals, you will have to bear the costs for your own materials/textiles/trims, allocate your own personal time to produce your competition collection, purchase/provide four pairs of shoes to accompany your Grand Final Fashion Show collection (you will have the right to keep the shoes after the Grand Final), and provide packing materials for the shipping of your collection to Hong Kong, such as carton boxes, tapes, and garment bags. 

Redress will cover the shipping costs of your collection outfits to Hong Kong (terms and conditions apply). Redress will also cover the costs of the fashion shoot, the travel and accommodation of the Finalists’ visit to Hong Kong, and all costs related to the Grand Final Fashion Show and exhibition(s).

We do not accept any applications via Word or PDF formats. Your application must be submitted via the online platform here.

No, you will NOT be able to amend your application including your artwork and textile selections once you have submitted your final application. Any subsequent changes to your application will be rejected and you may be disqualified from the competition, so make sure everything is ready before you click the ‘Submit application’ button!

Applicants must submit their application online via the Redress Design Award 2024 competition application platform before Friday, 15 March 2024 at 15:00 Hong Kong time (UTC +8).

For this competition we accept gender neutral collections. However, because of the Grand Final Fashion Show production constraints, we ask you to make a decision on whether your collection will be shown on female or male models should you reach the Grand Final. Please check the womenswear or menswear box within the application to select your choice. Please note the collection cannot be a mix of menswear and womenswear.

No, we accept that finalists can get external help (such as seamstresses, knitting, weaving workers etc) to make their outfits. The finalists still need to submit their own original work and cannot buy products off the shelf from other designers or clothing professionals. Ideally the finalists must be able to demonstrate that they worked alongside and/or managed their external help so they could execute their original designs.

Marks will be awarded for the execution of the collection in the final.

In your application, you are required to sketch and create outfits that will fit models in Size A (sample size) and Size B (larger size). Exact measurement details are shared in the Application Checklist.

* Textile swatches — leftover textile samples from production

* Cut-and-sew textiles — textile scraps generated during garment manufacturing

* End-of-rolls — factory surplus waste leftover from garment manufacturing

* Sampling yardage — factory surplus waste leftover from textile sample manufacturing

* Damaged textiles — unused textiles that have been damaged, for example with colour or print defects

* Unsold clothing — clothing waste (finished or unfinished) that has not been sold

* Clothing samples — part-finished or finished clothing samples from the design and production of clothing

* Secondhand clothing — any clothing or fashion accessories that have been owned and then discarded (both used and unused)

* Secondhand textiles — any finished non-clothing textiles (such as curtains, bedding, etc) that have been owned and then discarded (both used and unused)

Yes, we accept the use of textiles created from waste with a minimum 50 percent of regenerated content in fabric composition. Applicants must clearly state the textile source, composition, and details of after care. 

You are permitted to use ‘recycled textiles’, for example: recycled wool, made of old wool products; rPET (recycled polyester), most commonly made from recycled plastic bottles; and recycled polyamide (recycled nylon), which can be made from discarded fishing nets. You can also use ‘innovative materials’ made of non-traditional waste sources, for example textiles made of pineapple leaves or coffee grounds.

Plastics and synthetic fibres are under great criticism  due to the fact that they do not naturally biodegrade, especially when they are made of valuable, non-renewable sources (such as oil/petroleum). Polyester and polyamide in particular are materials made from oil which, when washed, release microplastics into the ecosystem. 

For the competition, whilst we are not against the inclusion of plastics and synthetics in collections, if you do use them, we expect a clear and thorough explanation of why these materials are included. A method to tackle this is to review the plastic materials using the four core circular design strategies:

1. How is the material transformed and integrated into the collection?

2. What will happen to it when washed and via other care processes? 

3. What will happen to it after disposal? 

4. How would you include the plastic material if you were to upscale the production of the collection?

Bio-based plastics are often cited as an alternative to oil-based plastics. However, there is still much research to be done regarding their disposal and the long-term effects of them on our environment, so we recommend that you also apply the above thinking if you are looking to select bio-plastics for use in your collection.

No, we do not allow old (e.g. sourced from secondhand garments) or new fur in submitted collections for ethical reasons related to animal welfare. The use of fur is understandably an emotive issue and whilst there are arguments that reusing or repurposing old fur can prevent these precious resources from being wasted, we do not want to promote fur as aesthetic or aspirational in any way through our competition platform. 

The debate relating to the environmental impact of real fur versus synthetic alternatives (where manufacturing processes can involve significant amounts of chemicals and end products do not biodegrade) is a valid one and we encourage you to research and select all materials in a careful and considered way based on their overall environmental impact.

Yes, we allow the use of non-textile waste materials such as metal, leather, tree bark, etc to be included in collections but ONLY as trims and embellishments. Non-textile materials should not exceed approximately 10% of the total garment and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis depending on your supporting argument for use. If you are uncertain about your material and whether we will accept it, please email us at apply@redress.com.hk.

Yes, you can use branded fabrics as long as they are waste textiles or textiles created from waste. However, the branding (e.g. logo) must be transformed or removed so as to be unrecognisable in your finished designs.

Yes, you can use new trims but a preference will be shown for upcycled or sustainable materials.

In the event that a successful Finalist drops out or is disqualified for any reason, it is at the discretion of Redress as to whether the Finalist’s collection will be shown, and we may contact the next runner-up from the same region in order to provide a replacement.

Yes, as a Finalist you will get to travel to Hong Kong for the Grand Final Week of the competition, with costs covered by Redress. The full details of the trip will be provided in May 2024. In the case of unfortunate circumstances affecting the ability to travel, the Grand Final Week activities will be held virtually, still with the intent to provide an exciting and enriching experience for our Finalists.

The Redress Design Challenges are a series of workshop-style events for the Finalists that take place in Hong Kong in early September 2024. The Finalists will explore the four core circular design strategies through various education activities and practical design challenges. The exact focus of the challenges will be confirmed nearer to the event date. All Finalists are required to attend and participate in these challenges and they may be recorded for use in the Frontline Fashion documentary series and/or general video promotion.

Redress will organise a fashion shoot in Hong Kong in late July/early August 2024 (exact date TBC). Redress’ stylists will determine all styling including the possibility of mixing a number of garments from any four outfits of the same Finalist for one look. Only one final photo per Finalist will be chosen for promotion.

No. Redress determines the creative direction for the Redress Design Award Grand Final Fashion Show, including styling, makeup, hair, models, music, photography, and filming.

Yes. All Finalists are required to supply four pairs of shoes to accompany their four physical outfits for the Grand Final in Hong Kong. Shoes are part of the show presentation but will not be reviewed as part of the judging; however, a preference for sustainably made shoes will be shown. We recommend the same style of shoes for all five outfits for consistency purposes. Finalists will have the right to keep the shoes after the show is complete.

Yes, if you wish to, accessories are optional. The same competition design requirements apply and they will be included for judging purposes. However, Redress reserves the right to determine if submitted accessories (including any head piece, face covering, and hats) are to be included in the Grand Final Fashion Show collections. All accessories must be sent together with the four physical outfits to Redress on 12 July 2024.

Redress will keep, for at least two years, two out of the four physical outfits made by each Finalist, which will be used for further educational and promotional activities, such as exhibitions after the competition. If you are one of the winners of the competition, Redress will keep these two outfits indefinitely. As the designer, you shall be credited on any occasion that your outfit(s) are displayed following the competition’s completion. 

The remaining two outfits will be returned to you at the end of the Grand Final Week.

Redress will have rights to the digital outfit designed by you as a Finalist, which will be used for further educational and promotional activities, such as exhibitions after the competition. As the designer, you shall be credited on the occasion that your digital outfit is displayed at events or shown on Redress’ channels following the competition’s completion.

All applications will go through an initial review by experienced members of the Redress team, with these sustainable fashion experts shortlisting 30 Semi-finalists: 15 designers from region one, with two guaranteed spots for Hong Kong applicants, and 15 designers from region two.

The Redress experts will also shortlist six promising applicants to offer them the Rising Talents programme: three designers from region one, with one guaranteed spot for Hong Kong applicants, and three designers from region two. The Rising Talents programme is designed for applicants who are not selected as Semi-finalists but show great potential in becoming sustainable designers.

The 30 Semi-finalist applications will be handed over to the judging panel composed of leading industry experts. The panel will select all 10 Finalists to go through to the Grand Final. The same panel will judge the Grand Final Fashion Show to determine the winner(s).

The judging panel is composed of leading industry experts. Check out their profiles here.

Ten designers will be selected to go through to the Grand Final, with five from region one and five from region two. Within the 10 Finalists there is one guaranteed spot for the top-scoring Hong Kong Finalist.

1. Creativity and originality - Applicants must demonstrate strong, original design concepts and have the ability to translate the concept throughout the entire collection with consistency.

2. Sustainability and innovation for the circular economy - Applicants must demonstrate their overall understanding of sustainable fashion design through applying one or more of four circular design strategies:

* Design for Low-impact Materials and Processes

* Design for Longevity

* Design for Recyclability

* Design for Low Waste

3. Execution (applicable to the grand final round only) - Finalists must demonstrate that all four physical outfits were made to the highest standard with: good quality and durable workmanship, suitable and clean materials with quality finishing. All garments included in the four physical outfits should be functional and practical for the end user and should withstand the test of washing and wearing.

For the open application and the semi-final rounds, all unsuccessful applicants and Semi-finalists will be notified by email. For the grand final judging, all Finalists will find out the competition results as they are announced live at the Grand Final Fashion Show.
