redress Design Award Collection

Hugo’s Redress Design Award collection, ‘Make Sort & Mend’, reflects on our modern climate crisis in juxtaposition with rationing in World War II, which led to the British consumer campaign ‘Make Do and Mend’ that encouraged crafting. The collection creates modern menswear silhouettes out of old textiles, including a shredded military parachute upcycled into a zero-waste dress with a train, zero-waste siren suit and trousers made from pure denim end-of-rolls, and a Canadian-smocked patchwork bomber jacket.
